Cops Talk First Amendment Auditors

Previous LiveSTREAM recording. We explore the complex world of First Amendment auditors and their interactions with law enforcement, diving into constitutional protections, police training gaps, and what happens when these worlds collide.
• First Amendment auditors expose training deficiencies in police departments nationwide
• Supreme Court has ruled that gestures like middle fingers directed at police are protected speech
• Traditional public forums like town halls and post offices have specific rules regarding filming
• Both sides need education – police on constitutional rights and some auditors on constructive approaches
• The motivation of auditors varies from education and accountability to potential monetary settlements
• Post offices have unique jurisdiction issues as federal property that many officers don't understand
• Credit card fraud cases increasingly involve minors who face reduced consequences
• Criminals deliberately use children as "patsies" knowing they'll receive lighter sentences
• Criminal trespass from public buildings requires an actual crime, not just discomfort with filming
• Communication and understanding on both sides can prevent unnecessary confrontations
If you encounter law enforcement while exercising your First Amendment rights, remain calm, be respectful, and know that filming in public spaces is protected activity. If you're an officer, remember that citizens have the constitutional right to record in public places, and responding professionally protects both you and your department.
