After Donald Trump backed anti-lockdown demonstrators last month, Missouri residents fear retaliation over rulebreaker report leak
Hundreds of Missouri residents have had their personal details shared online after the publication of a document that recorded reports made against those flouting lockdown measures.
It comes after St Louis County authorities called on people to report businesses and persons not following statewide lockdown measures, last month.
The names and addresses of almost 900 people were shared on Facebook to name-and-shame them after authorities had released the data following a media request under the states Sunshine Law, which requires authorities to release information submitted to public agencies.
The complaints resulted in 29 businesses receiving court summons in April, leaving some concerned that they will face dismissal at work after reporting on rule breaking at their own workplace.

I also found a few photos of him open carrying at a Trump rally in Springfield.
