1st Amendment Auditors and New RSMO 574.207

In this episode, we break down the growing trend of First Amendment Auditors—individuals who record police, government officials, and public spaces to test constitutional rights. We’ll explore what these encounters look like, why they’re happening, and how law enforcement and the community can best respond. We’ll also take a closer look at Missouri’s newly enacted RSMo 574.207, a law aimed at addressing interference with public safety operations. We’ll discuss what the statute says, how it applies in real-world situations, and what it means for officers and citizens moving forward. Whether you’re a first responder, community member, or just curious about the balance between free speech and public safety, this episode offers practical insights and important updates.
