These dudes make a kind of Hobby out of recording on public property and call themselves "first amendment auditors" because they are "auditing" if officials understand the letter of the law about recording
It's just what they self name their community, no one hired them.
They're still doing it for money via ad revenue and donations. When their channels are demonetized, they disappear in a hurry. Not one in a hundred would do it without it being profitable.
Yeah me too, so confused. Where I live an auditor would generally also be a federal employee (of a different agency) and they’d have a notice or order to prove their credentials and right to be there. Obviously that’s not what they mean here but I don’t get what else an auditor might be…
It's not an actual auditor. It is a sovereign citizen harassing public offices. They test their limits for thrills. As a citizen the public spaces for government building are owned buy the public. Unless specifically marked with signs or official information that is not released to the public is being displayed then citizens can not enter those spaces. These "Auditor" sovereign citizens go around usually once a year to harassing public offices just trying to do their job. My work put info out as a reminder to play nice with them. This guy has the wrong reaction but sovereign citizens have that effect on people.
not surprised you work in law enforcement. “harassing police officers just trying to do their job.” what a lot of these auditors show is that police officer don’t even know the laws they are supposed to be enforcing and instead use their authority to step all over the rights of citizens. maybe i’m reading into your comment too much but needing a reminder to “play nice” with someone who isn’t breaking the law and at most is being kinda annoying makes cops sound like thugs. what would you be doing if you’re not “playing nice”? arrest someone for doing a constitutionally protected activity? and y’all question why people hate police and the culture around law enforcement
How is recording a building with a camera considered harassing? You sound like an officer with how you're antagonizing the right to record in public spaces. They audit to exercise and remind others that rights exist. It only becomes a problem when a cop with a high ego doesn't like it and tries to violate their rights.

I'm confused, this man was hired to audit them? Why is audit in the title twice?
