Yeah, the ruling wasn't at all about his filming of police officers, it was about whether or not the judge should have recused themself..(?) I'm very confused as to how you could say "Eighth Circuit: Citizens do not have a right to film public officials in public" after the only sentence having to do with filming public officials in public was "Akins also alleged that the defendants violated his rights by removing videos he had posted on the CPD Facebook page, by ordering him to stop filming the filing of acitizen complaint in the CPD lobby, and by posting in the police department a flyer with information about him"

But again, the judgement wasn't at all about him filming public officials, only about whether or not the judge should've presided over the case.
