How First Amendment auditors became YouTube stars

The problem with “no closer than eight feet” law is that cops can just back you off by coming with seven feet. And when you step back, they just step closer. The whole thing about officer safety is ridiculous. A shooter can harm them from 12 feet away as easily as 8.

Im curious to know why you didnt explain why the rise in police watchers. It isnt about you tube or income....it's a response to the publics perception that the way we police is wrong, Police are quick to escalate interactions, quick to violence, cite people for infractions they themselves commit, generally look for a reason to arrest someone and disrupt their lives.

When the reporter said, "Christopher and his ilk", it led me to believe that this was biased reporting, not true journalism...

Abolish "Qualified Immunity" and create penalties for crimes that cops commit.

[AdamSchecter]

That was a horrible representation of the real first amendment auditor stars on YouTube…

Our founding fathers would've subsidized private auditors

Its important to hold public servents accountable. Dont lick their boot make them follow the same laws you have too.

if the police didn't do anything wrong, there would be nothing to worry about.

Public servants have gotten used to thinking they have power over others and that will come to an end

For over 50 years I supported policing. Then policing changed, they became militarized, extremely aggressive, egotistical, arrogant and more fearless with their criminality. Qualified immunity changed policing. During the George Floyd protest I needed assistance with a break in at my home and was completely terrified not of the robber but the police gang that showed up later. The things they said, accused me of, told me to do, and laughed that I was alone, elderly women and scared. A year after George Floyd over 22 officers were charged with assault, excessive use of force, fired, or paid leave. I believe 2 of those charged were in my home that night. Thank goodness for auditors like Chris. Someone with a voice needs to expose them.

I got a story for y'all. It starts with a gay couple and a house fire and escalates into discrimination at a public town hall meeting by members of the board and local law enforcement. When I went to investigate and attempt to get a complete record of what happened including video surveillance footage of the meeting, i was denied, 3 plain clothes police show up intimidate me, falsely arrest me, the secretary goes to court and lies to get an emergency restraining order claiming harassment and stalking. This happened in Enfield Illinois on Aug 1st. I have not yet made my video of these events public yet, and apparently i am the only party to have ANY VIDEO at all. According to one of the officers their surveillance cameras have NEVER worked. How's that for government transparency?

Of course like any good media hit piece, they focus on the worst examples, and give no airtime to the best examples. They also do not focus on the extremely pervasive trend of law enforcement either not knowing and understanding, or not caring about the rights of citizens. If police simply exercise restraint, and recognized the rights of citizens, there would be no point to doing First Amendment audits, they would all be boring.

[AlexeiTetenov]

The scales of justice are not equal. For a person to get justice, he needs to get everyone in the criminal justice system to cooperate with him. However, if just one person, important enough to the process, decides not to cooperate, that could end all of the hopes that a person has to get justice, And there are no possible criminal consequences to a person in authority for refusing to cooperate with a person trying to get justice. Everything is up to that person in authority's discretion. This is a system of justice only for people of wealth and/or status. For the rest of us, it's an injustice system rigged against us.

These videos bring to light the abuse of authority over the citizens that they swore an oath to protect by violating constitutional rights and committing crimes against We the People these gang members are not above the law

[ScottyPimpinATL]

They used the moset cringe worthy clips to explain something completely normal

[StevenKHarrison]

Remember how mainstream TV pushed those "reality cop" shows? Following the cops around like puppies and praising everything they did? That was OK, but auditing cops is not?

How are citizens exercising their rights 'antagonistic'? Get the boot out of your mouth

Best answer to the question of where are your press credentials, that I have ever heard. Good guy Audits asked the cop where their credentials are to practice their religion. Where are your credentials to practice your speech?! Video named "Cops don’t know law or the first amendment!!!" by Good guy Audits on Jun 19, 2022. I would put a direct link but then my comment would be automatically flagged as spam by Youtube, as the non-uploader of this video. It's at the 20:33 mark in the original video. Pure Gold!
