A federal appeals court is ruling that the public has the right to film cops in public and reinstated a lawsuit against a local New Hampshire police department brought by a woman arrested for filming a traffic stop.

Although she was never brought to trial, she sued, alleging the arrest constituted retaliatory prosecution in breach of her constitutional rights.
