With the advent of cellphones as a standard device carried by hundreds of millions daily, the ability of citizens to film police and politicians in public settings has increased accountability for those holding positions of public trust.
Unfortunately, a growing trend of judicial tyranny could curtail a person’s right to access their phone to suddenly film an event unfolding before them in a public setting.
First Amendment rights advocates argue that the right to film public events should never be abrogated, given the protections of the U.S. Constitution.
But with the judiciary having more statist judges in place, it’s become more challenging to protect these most basic rights.
In the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Missouri, a recent ruling has struck down the right to film public officials in a public setting. On the next page, learn how the dispute may have to head to the Supreme Court to get resolved.
F**k you
LOLOLOLOLOL
Just want to be accountable ah….whn
I dont think so
That will NOT STAND IN THER SUPREME COURT.
Soviet bs. Supreme Court please.
Time to throw hard left Judges,who ignore our Constitution OUT.
Oh, yes we do. Someone has to try and keep you politicians honest. Or catch you in your lies.
Screw that. That is because they are taking c**p and lies and don’t want it recorded.
One would believe that right to privacy would dictate that no one has the right to film anyone without permission. Anywhere, anytime .
Free press does NOT trump right to privacy !
