What a difference a near-decade makes. Back in 2017, the main concerns raised by New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board was that officers were routinely violating the right to record police officers. Sure, there wasn't nearly as much precedent to rely on then (and we're still waiting for the Supreme Court to make this right definitive), but it seemed pretty clear no one should be arrested for exercising their First Amendment right to record public officials engaged in their public duties.

This has been underway for more than 50 years, structurally but sure, it's become particularly acute in the last 15 years and we're still talking about what regulators are doing and ignoring that they work within a legislative framework politicians approved..
It's been called a bubble for more than 15 years but the great Aussie housing price boom has barely skipped a beat, as regulators eye the threat of risky loans.
