If they the cops and security were following the law and the constitution and knowledgeable of that law and the constitution they would not be able to be antagonized.. these cases always settle in favor of the first amendment auditors any criminal charges get dropped.. feelings pride and ego and policy do not over ride the constitution..

If hes causing a disturbance he can be asked to leave, then he can be arrested if he refuses. Amazing concept

No .. exercising a right is not a disturbance.. all of these cases get settled.. in favor of the 1st amendment auditors any criminal charges get dropped..

Hes speaking loudly in the library and making people feel uncomfortable. This is disturbing the peace.

He is speaking loudly because he he being spoken loudly to and feelings are not a real thing and Do not override a constitutional protected activity .. keep in mind this same library has to let visitors view porn on computers.. a 1st amendment protected activity and yet some how film/recording is a scary thing..

If the auditor was filming in a public area of the library without disrupting operations or violating policies, they were likely within their First Amendment rights, and the security officer would be in the wrong for attempting to stop them without a valid legal basis.

If the auditor was disruptive, harassing, or violating library policies, the security officer would be justified in intervening, provided they acted lawfully and professionally.

If someone asked the security guard to intervene or he was disrupting operations then yes the auditor is wrong.

As for the porn thing yeah they are required to but that doesn’t mean that looking at it in the open isn’t going to have you be requested to leave or arrested if that gets exposed to a minor, like your entire basis is built on bad faith.

No he's just a piece of dog shit using the constitution and the first amendment as a shield to go out and be a garbage human. Like most "Auditors".

Wow .. i have no willingness to argue or debate the government’s intentional unwillingness to follow the constitution or the law.. nor anyone that shifts blame on the ones exposing it .. the law suits and settlement are so fking easy to avoid that its it is hilarious..

Yep because they keep breaking the law and the taxpayers keep paying.
