The Unfortunate 1st Amendment Auditors are seeing a downfall…… or restructure?



American Auditors got it rough these days with the rise of the new class of trolls nipping at our Liberated heels.

  1. The three I know outside of the internet, in real life, all have lengthy criminal records for distasteful actions committed against either women or children. Literally. That isn't a troll response, it's the truth.

  2. Auditors who film in traditional public forums most definitely have that right. I find their methodology distasteful but they do have a right to be obnoxious.

    What I despise are the auditors who go into govt buildings declaring they have a right. That is a lie. In fact these are the lies I have observed:
    >> They lie about the Constitutional right to record inside govt buildings.

    >> They lie that Freedom of the Press provides them access.

    >> They lie when they say open to the public means it is open for the first amendment.

    >> They lie when they say that you must posts signs about restrictions.

    >> They lie when they say policy is only for employees.

    >> They lie when they say they need to commit a crime to be trespassed.

    >> They lie when they quote court rulings that they can record public officials inside of govt buildings.

    >> They lie when they say that the Plain View Doctrine gives them a right to record.

    >> They lie when they say, “This building belongs to me.”

    >> They lie when they say, “You work for me.”

  3. I have a question for you travis….if auditors help people, why do most of them get hated by most people? If someone was helping me learn my rights, why would i get arrested or end up homeless? Isnt that the opposite of helping?

  4. The government bootlickers are getting better at writing local rules and ordinances that are fine tuned to exclude the public from observing them. They use our money to pay lawyers to keep us in the dark.

  5. "Troll channels" have people actually living in society taking care of their families and staying out of jail and they can go anywhere and not get trepassed. You "auditors" always have criminals records or get trepassed or stay in court rooms or homeless. Someone is winning and its not you

  6. The "auditors" all seem to stop when they can't make money off of it. Those who don't… it's usually because they have an axe to grind from a lengthy criminal record. Can't preach your right to film peoples kiddies when that kind of stuff has gotten you in trouble before.

  7. Change comes when the court of public opinion is informed by facts– such as bodyworn camera-since there are so few sources to obtain actual news these days. So, I think that despite whatever the current state of affairs is, citizens are in better shape now than prior to the advent of the #1A movement. I'm grateful to them for exposing what needs to change.

  8. Try this video again when you aren't stoned out of your mind. It took you about five or six tries to say first amendment audits, and even then it didn't work. Maybe that's why the anti frauditor channels are thriving, because you guys give so much ammo. to work with. Straighten up and quit living in that cesspool you call a mobile home. At least other frauditors live in their mom's basement, or grandma's house.

  9. In some places, police were instructed to behave better (when they're being filmed). Spitting Cobra in Glendale, AZ for instance. Many other departments may have changed their ways as well after seeing how easily they can be embarrassed or sued. So perhaps the activism aspect of it caused positive change? They do still dodge accountability at every turn though.

  10. The problem is not the lack of a collective desire for a positive future, but the lack of a collective vehicle for positive action. It appears the auditing community is not that vehicle. If this is so, the present conditions and associated discontent cannot easily explain why Cop Watching and Auditing community fails to turn to organizing their social movement. The typical stages include efforts by leaders into mobilizing resources—most notably, time, money, and energy—of the supportive demographics and to direct them into effective social, legal and political action. Cop Watchers and Auditors alike have already successfully completed stage 1 – with 'emergence'. But they struggle to start stage 2 – 'coalescence'. If YT content influencers are our champions of free speech – they fail as leaders. Far too many censor advocacy speech on channels, where the mere mention of organizing can get you deleted.

    We see a repetitive theme in advocacy when we have a significant national controversy such as repeat offenders who deprive rights under color of law. The abuse of authority has become prolific in culture & institution of U.S. law enforcement. The exponential growth of police brutality is forever tied to the growth of cop watching, 1A auditing and alternative journalism with videos that go viral in social media. Repeat offenders of police misconduct cost taxpayers billions of dollars in legal fees and settlements, essentially defunding valuable community resources. (WP investigative journalism reporting). The across‐the‐board immunity for public officials of misconduct best characterizes the QI doctrine that results in mass incarceration of precariats. In fact ‘we lock up a higher percentage of our people than any other nation on earth’ in a prison for profit pipeline. (Madar, NYU Law Study).

    Our own brief history reminds us of those successful struggles that defined us as the embodiment of popular organized 'social movements' that brought this nation’s practices into concert with its best ideals; the civil rights movement that brought down Jim Crow, the labor movement that resulted in regulations against child labor, and the women’s suffrage movement. History has amply demonstrated where this will end up. But this won’t happen anytime soon, when our champions fail to understand that "Successful changes to systemic social ills often turn on a rare combination of complex cooperation and bipartisanship, however reluctant, of diverse human interaction".

    • Police assault the innocent – again.

    • Investigate themselves, find no wrong– again.

    • Public outcry mobilizes for affirmative action.

    • Just kidding, we do nothing – again !

  11. I've learned that – just as with cops – there are good 1A auditors and bad ones. When I think of good 1A auditors I think of Honor Your Oath, The Battousai, and Long Island Audits. When I think of bad auditors I think of KULT News, Denver Metro Audits and iiMPACT Media. The bad ones seem to get more attention than the good ones.
