It depends.
Usually, in a public place, anything is public property and you're free to film it. This is the reason why CCTV is allowed.
However, there are some situations which you will not be allowed to film. For example, secret operations by intelligence agencies. Capturing these on film will result in an extremely heavy fine and confiscation of electronic equipment such as cameras and computers - under the Official Secrets Act (or an equivalent law depending on country).
It is also a persons right that they are not filmed when requested. So, if a public servant tells you to stop filming, you must obey.
Yes, you have a constitutional right to film Police Officers in places where the public has the right to be. Some states have evesdropping laws, which the Police have been known to charge people with who record them. This is not only a false arrest but it's a gross miscarrage of justice as the Supreme Court has already ruled on this matter. Police and Municipalities that blatantly violate established rules of law can be subject to both prosecution and civil liability (Juries are not very friendly when their time is wasted or Police act inappropriately).
