KULT NEWS AUDITS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST - First Amendment Audit

KULT News made it to the Pacific Northwest at the end of May, 2024, and the first town we audited was Walla Walla, WA.

Multiple police departments were called to respond to a man with cameras in public. The question is, would the responding officers recognize and respect our First Amendment rights or would they try to violate them?

WATCH AND FIND OUT!

If you want to skip the previews (aka spoiler alerts) then skip to the :47 second mark in the video.

Often using police body camera footage, 911 call recordings, and covert camera angles, with a few laughs thrown in, KULT News is a First Amendment audit channel you won’t soon forget. Enjoy the deer-in-the-headlights looks as incompetent cops see a mild-mannered citizen just out taking photos turn into a news reporter well-versed on his Constitutional rights right before their eyes.

Laws may vary but, generally speaking, in the United States, if you are in public you are legally able to photograph whatever you can see. Simply put, your eyes can’t be trespassed. Obviously there are some restrictions on this (i.e., bathrooms, dressing rooms, most courtrooms, locker rooms, etc.) but very few when you are in public. If you can see it, you can shoot it (this rule only applies to cameras.) This is not legal advice.

The dispatcher is a presumtious danger to society, what an idiot who's probably gotten a few innocent people in mortal danger.

[breakinghues]

I’ll always be amazed that these companies tried to mandate us to wear a mask for 3 years but are now terrified of a mask.

[aleebea]

That dispatcher already suggesting charges, this is part of the problem.

[jethrosmadscience]

The dispatcher should be held liable for all damages, no crimes were reported.

[CrimFerret]

If you stick a giant rubber duck on your building, you have no real call to be upset when somebody is photographing it.

[Murdant]

Audits of banks are my favorite. Never seen a more entitled group of people.

[Spensero]

I called the bank. Told them I will be walking by with cash in my pockets and asked them to not record me. They had the audacity to tell me no! Can you believe that. I told them its for my security and they didnt care. Outrageous

[charliechan]

These COMMUNITY BANK REPRESENTATIVES ARE DAMN LIARS and bring shame on their business!

[fjccommish]

In the Pacific Northwest, you either get a Bigfoot sighting or a KULT News sighting.

[TonyTube]

I've known officer G. Bennett for close to 30 years and it doesn't surprise me how professionally he handled this situation. Thank you (and the other CPPD officer too) for representing the City of College Place so well. Be safe and continue what you're doing!!

[chevynova]

I can't believe how many people are ignorant of the law .

[pattyh]

Jim, Jim, Jim...shameful wasting LEO's time and resources for a man with a camera on a public sidewalk

[stevering]

Without a doubt, KULT is my favorite auditor.

[rustymaples]

I called and asked the bank if they still have a problem with people filming in public. They just hung up on me

[Lynn-vbmp]

I love that you get the 911 call. Would it be easier to get a police scanner? That way you know when the cops are lying.

[Engineer_X]

He says "Some people are obsessed with rubber ducks..." then cuts to Ernie in the tub singing the rubber duckie song. Brilliant edit. Well played, Mike. Stacey Cam rules!

[fpsFAMOUS]

Cops did a good job for once. The dispatcher did a terrible job. She didn't dig enough to really figure out the issue 🤦‍♂️

[itsyunggrave]

A trespass for never having stepped on a property is violent

[truenorthtransparency]

I LOVE auditing banks.
I just got home from being assaulted by police for filming a bank from a sidewalk

[tonyedwards]

He he "the weed dispenser has more money than the bank" immortalised. 😂❤😂
