A First Amendment Auditor visited Fort Scott recently. They focus on public spaces such as government buildings, police stations, or city hall to test and document officials’ respect for constitutional rights, particularly free speech and public photography. Fort Scott, known for its historic sites and small-town governance, provided an interesting backdrop for such an audit, capturing interactions with local law enforcement and city officials. These audits often spark discussions about government transparency and the balance between public access and security concerns.
