First Amendment Fights: Lessons From 45 States | Enrique Torres & JP Ambriz DSH #1161

Anybody more legit.

I encourage everybody to do their own research.

Criticize the government in a positive way, in a bad way, however you want, but you have to check up on them, even if it is once a year.

Everybody, you know, take one day, everybody, this year, and go and

check up on your government.

All right, guys, I have Enrique from Auditing America America here and JP from Liberty Lens Audits.

And we're in Vegas.

Do you guys end up getting arrested?

Oh, man.

Well, not this time.

Not this time.

We got assaulted a couple days ago by Juliana Miller from the UFC.

We don't even know who she was.

So where were you guys and what happened?

Well, we were conducting a First Amendment audit.

For those of you who don't know what a First Amendment audit is, that's what someone does when

they want to investigate how good the service

of the

United States government employees is when it comes to respecting your freedom of the press, your First Amendment right to video record in public areas.

while exercising other constitutional rights such as the Fourth Amendment.

So

we have the right to our privacy.

We don't have to discuss our day unless we're suspected of committing crimes.

We don't have to provide ID.

So we showed up at the post office and we're doing our thing.

And Juliana Miller happens to be

in the line and automatically becomes

what they call on the internet nowadays a Karen.

She at first was cool with what we were doing.

She was aware of what we were doing.

And then turns out making physical threats.

And then

I made a comment that triggered her to follow me and

assault me

by

touching my face, head, hat, all flew off and everything.

Sounded vicious.

Damn.

So then she follows by fleeing and

jumping into uncommon traffic and jumping a whole wall.

It was insane.

I didn't see that part.

You got to go check out the video, guys.

All the way at the end,

I was so surprised because obviously i didn't know she was an athlete so it wasn't common for me to see a

120 pound girl jumping a walk the way that she did so now what is your goal with these audits because we were talking off camera you don't press charges you've been arrested 10 times we've pressed charges in in the past in situations where you know we pretty much

where

we thought that that was the best thing to do yeah uh but in the uh we've never really gone gone to court and completely prosecuted anybody or had anybody been convicted because of any

videos

that we're out there to do because we're not out there to get anybody in trouble.

Our main goal during these audits is to

educate the people that don't know.

I'm on a mission to educate the people from Puerto Rico as well.

You know, we are a U.S.

territory with over 3 million American citizens who a lot of them don't speak English.

Our Spanish is our first language.

And even though they enjoy the rights that we have over here as a U.S.

territory,

a lot of them really don't really get it, I guess.

So I'm out there also doing videos in Puerto Rico and all U.S.

territories.

We've been to

the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam.

I got detained in Guam in the northern

at the naval base.

That's not scary.

It was pretty, it was pretty scary.

They took me inside the base and everything.

So, are you allowed to film in the base?

You can film from a public area.

Okay.

So, what happened was,

I made a small mistake.

In military bases, they have like

the government line, the trespassing line, or whatever.

It's drawn on

the ground.

There's not a sign anywhere.

It's on the ground.

So if you're driving and

you made like way before you make it to the front gate,

you're already in their property.

So that's kind of what happened to us.

We thought we were in, it was a misunderstanding, but I did get detained for a couple hours.

I didn't get in trouble or anything.

They let me go.

They found out, hey, we know.

We know you're not,

you're harmless.

We know you're harmless.

I'm like, yes, I am.

So, but we're out there trying to educate people.

bro and in a nice way we try to uh

you know do it a little bit entertaining i guess as well uh due to we try to make it uh we try to promote and praise the good too because there's so much you know controversy and a lot of negative within the content that that we do uh that

you know we we we want more we want to spread more love bro you know what i'm saying so uh

we went to the post office and that unfortunate situation happened with that

athlete.

But that's just one of the situations we've been

all over the country right now.

We're missing only about five or six states.

Damn.

Yeah, because you do the West Coast stuff, right?

Yep, yep, all over.

I've been doing Vegas for maybe six, seven years, maybe.

Wow.

And what have you seen in Vegas overall?

Good or positive experiences?

I've had a few interactions with officers that are actually nice.

Okay.

That they seem like they do care.

And then there's always that saying, well, you know, if there's all these good officers, why aren't they turning in the bad ones?

But then they get retaliated on too.

Yeah, from their point of view, I can see it.

They don't want to risk their reputation, their job, right?

Yeah, like my very first audit, it was at the post office on Charleston and Decatur, Oakey and Decatur.

And we were filming, doing a cool little story, same process.

People People started getting a little irate inside the office.

We stepped outside, waited for the officer.

The officer, he goes, hey, stepped to the front of my car.

He had already seen me before I got to the office.

We didn't say anything mean.

We're like, good morning, officer.

All right, we'll step to the front.

As soon as I step to the front, he grabs me from my throat and chokes me onto his car just for filming, just for filming.

What?

His excuse was, oh, you have all these weapons in your hand.

They are career enders.

That's it.

That is crazy.

And you didn't want to pursue that in court?

Lots of people, they're like, sue, sue, sue, but we're not here for the people's money.

This is going to come out of taxes.

Absolutely.

Money is not the thing.

I'm more concerned of people getting the education.

Look, this is what happened.

This is where he went wrong.

And learn from it.

Yeah, the education is huge.

When I was growing up and police officer from ID, I would just hand over, honestly.

I thought that was the right thing to do.

Because we grew up with

that mentality, which is good you know that you we have a society that we have police officers who protect the community and we can sleep safe in a country that we know that we have the best military as well protecting us no other country is going to come and bully us

we're not uh

a lot of people think that our content may be considered uh some sort of bullying in a way but that's just people who actually maybe run into one video and just don't understand the concept and

the idea

behind the whole

mission that we have in auditing America.

And

a lot of people, you know, but that's the First Amendment.

That's what this country is about.

That's why we,

as long as they don't violate any community guidelines from

the platforms that are in the comment section, you're more than welcome to comment

whatever you want

because

that's why I'm out there.

I'm preaching for the First Amendment.

I want you to be able to know that you can criticize me and you can criticize

as long as we're peaceful.

Because once anybody starts speaking violence, then

the First Amendment ends.

The First Amendment ends.

It becomes disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace.

You know, depending what you say,

you can get in different types of trouble.

So

we're just out there, man, checking up on public employees and making sure that

they're nice.

And if they're nice, we praise them.

And if they're not as nice, unfortunately, we try to expose this

to

the world.

Have your videos, either you guys, ever gotten someone fired?

That we, as far as a police officer, no, no but i know for a fact that one uh police officer did change jobs

she went and and and started working i guess somewhere else because of how much uh hate attention it got from yeah and and you know some people it also a lot of people i don't know they just don't understand about our rights here in America, but a lot of people say, oh, well, you were wrong, Enrique.

You were wrong.

I'm like,

At what point?

What point?

Any reasonable person that sees any of the videos that we that we go and do knows that, oh, well, you're not identifying yourself.

You're not telling anybody that's an app.

I can't say any bad words, right?

You can, we'll just curse, censor.

Yeah, that's an asshole move.

Well, sorry.

I'm not trying to, I'm here to do an audit.

So I can't tell you why I'm here or who I am because it defeats the whole purpose of an audit.

I'm like the mystery shopper, yeah.

It's like when uh, those restaurant auditors announce they're coming beforehand, so they clean up the kitchen and everything, you know,

correct, yeah.

And you know, we've been doing this, there's other people that are also doing these videos on the internet, but us in Auditing America, we uh

we're pretty much the only ones that have uh gone face-to-face with uh Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Mike Bloomberg, Donald Trump,

seven or eight different governors in the United States.

We've sat down with the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands speaking about freedom and the First Amendment.

And

we like

We like to everybody know we like we would like for everyone to know that

the mainstream news is they're not just,

they're not the only press.

You know, we are all the same.

We are all the same here.

We're all exercising the same right.

Just because they have a gazillion dollars and a huge building and doesn't give them, you know, doesn't make them or anybody more legit, I encourage everybody to do their own research.

Criticize the government in a positive way, in a bad way, however you want, but you have to check up on them, even if it is once a year, everybody.

Take one day, everybody, this year, and go

and check up on your government.

You don't have to film.

You can do it secretly.

You can go with your wife or with your husband and...

and conduct business personally, something that you would probably do at home now because

a lot of these services are provided through the internet.

Well, these buildings are still there for a reason.

There's still employees there for a reason.

And

a lot of the times when people go to in person to conduct these business, they kind of want to push them out and tell them, hey, well, just do it online.

Well, do it online.

Well, we're here now,

you know?

Yeah.

So

these people are ready to serve you.

You guys are paying taxes that, that you know we're waiting for these taxes to make a big difference in our community and we see all these billions and billions of dollars being spent and a lot of uh uh things that we would love to see never really happen

and and it's just uh a matter of checking checking up on where your taxes are going i grew up in jersey they never fixed those damn potholes over there oh oh man

did i say something yeah go ahead so um another cool point that he brought up was that when you go in there, you don't have to record.

You can take a notepad.

That's part of journalism.

When they say freedom of the press, it's not just recording.

You're more than welcome.

Take your notepad, sit down.

You're still doing a job.

You're taking your notes, do whatever you got to do.

Boom.

If they try to kick you out, hey, I'm working on a story.

So they're allowed to kick you out, though?

They're going to try to say that you're loitering.

They're going to try to say that what you're doing is not legit.

They're going to try to say that, you know, you're a fraud.

But the reality is that people lie, but videos don't.

So if you're going in there with a good purpose and you're stating it at the beginning of your video, guys, we're here today and this is exactly what we're going to do.

We're not going to interfere with the business, but we're also

expecting no one to interfere with our business.

We know that there's going to be reactions, but the reaction

has to be controlled by us educating educating them, trying to de-escalate the situation as much as we can.

But a lot of people just flip, brother, and they just don't care.

You know,

I've been tackled by police officers.

Then they police parking lots too.

Wow.

Like I was filming a police parking lot in Rhode Island.

Six police officers just tackled me.

And then the surveillance camera video.

magically disappears

never makes it to court what about the body cam footage nothing nothing makes it to court the only video that made it to court guess uh guess whose video yours my video and we took it to trial i was charged with disorderly conduct and disturbing uh no disorder disorderly conduct and uh

resisting arrest but i never resisted arrest ever ever ever brother and and that would have been proven if that video that from the police department's camera would have been turned in as evidence but since i knew there was a camera right i said i didn't i didn't resist i have my video i was never disorderly i never trespassed I'm going to trial.

I said, screw that.

So I take it to trial.

And I'm like, okay, so here we, because at that point, I still believed in the justice system here in our country.

I said, no, this is America.

They have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that I did that.

So how in the world, if I didn't do it, they're going to prove it.

I was like, I'm good.

So

I made it to

trial.

And then I'm found not guilty of disorderly conduct thanks to my video.

Thank God, because I had six tyrants tyrants that said that I was disorderly and was willing to put me in a situation where I was facing up to a year in jail in the state of Rhode Island.

And then only to find out during trial that I'm not guilty, right?

What happened?

That

you guys knew what you were talking about.

This is simple stuff.

How the hell did you guys mess up?

and put somebody in jail that was innocent.

We just went to trial and I was found not guilty.

Well, guess what?

I was found guilty of resisting arrest.

Well, an arrest that I never, that, that, that, that I never resisted.

And they're, they're saying that I was resisting an arrest to, to, uh, which is a risk, uh, resisting arrest is a secondary charge.

So you need a first charge, a primary charge to get, uh, oh, I see.

To get resisting arrest, obviously.

So the primary charge was the sort of conduct that I was just found not guilty.

Yeah.

So you mean to tell me that I'm found guilty of resisting an arrest that I wasn't guilty?

That you're saying that I wasn't guilty of?

So that's exactly what happened to me.

And I asked that, my attorney asked that at court, which, you know, they chewed my attorney's,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah.

They wouldn't let her really defend me, bro.

It was crazy.

And

so they find me guilty of resisting arrest.

And then the judge says, well, in the state of Rhode Island, it's illegal to resist a legal or an illegal arrest.

Whoa, that's crazy.

So, so pretty much

in short words, if you're getting kidnapped by the police,

take it easy, calm down.

We have a system that's going to free you pretty soon.

The normal reaction of a person who's been taken in custody illegally is to not want to go.

Even though i knew that i was putting myself in in in the line of a situation that that could happen i still never resisted because i know what resisting arrest could lead to they kick your ass

yeah they taser your ass they can they can legally do anything

besides killing you in order to it's apprehend you that's happened yeah man that is scary so we've been we've done a we have a lot of videos doing uh

uh id refusals those are tough.

Yeah.

So, what's the process with that?

Like, because I see mixed comments on ID refusals.

Like, if you get pulled over driving, do you have to give your ID?

Absolutely.

That's because when you're driving,

your driving is a privilege according to the government.

You know, we have, they say we have the right to travel, but the right to travel is with

these two right here.

Because once you want to drive a vehicle, that's a privilege

according to the government.

So So, if you're driving a vehicle, you have to provide your driver's license.

Obviously, the police officer has to have a reason to pull you over.

He can't, police officers can't just randomly pull people over

and demand an ID for a random or what is it that they call it.

Marijuana smell.

Well, it depends on the state, too.

Some states, marijuana is legal,

and some states

it's illegal still,

which

I think they got pulled over.

They need to fix that.

No, they do.

I got pulled over in Jersey once, and he said, because of the smell, get out of the car.

So my friend and I both had to get out on the curb of the highway.

It was so embarrassing.

And there was nothing in there.

Oh, they will bully you.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I have a video in Jersey where

we were doing a First Amendment audit,

and the police officer randomly just says, Okay, hold on.

I am sensing this way, he said, I am sensing

a strong raw odor of cannabis or something like that.

He said,

and I, and I think it may be you

or you.

Wow, targeted.

And I said,

and you know what?

I had my marijuana medical card on me.

And

I said, but yeah,

that's not, I said, but that's not probable cause i said and he said yes the smell that's the little loophole that they have you know because who's going to go to, how is a police officer going to go to court or anyone going to go to court and prove that they indeed smelled anything?

Right.

Subjective.

That's just, that's just one of these little loopholes where your Fourth Amendment can be violated just because of,

you know, not saying all police officers, but this is obviously.

a large amount that

doesn't respect our rights.

And most, most of you that are out there watching these videos may be like, this guy's full of crap.

But guess what?

You guys have a life.

You guys have a whole different type of job.

I'm the one that's out there.

My life is putting my life out there

to make sure that these rights are being protected every single day for the past six years.

And I'm the one that runs it to police officers every day.

So

I know for a fact that we have a big problem across the country.

We're talking about Alaska, Hawaii.

We're talking about,

you know, in Alaska was pretty wild.

Really?

You would have never expected that in Alaska.

Oh, man.

You guys need to go check out our video from Fairbanks, Alaska at the DMV.

That was pretty wild.

We had crazy employees.

We had crazy citizens.

We had...

terrible police officers who were trying to violate our rights and get us to leave.

And if we didn't stand our ground and,

you know, peacefully asserting our rights,

they would have trampled on them.

Wow.

And

that video has hundreds of thousands of views on our Auditing America.

That was about 11 months ago.

I encourage people to go watch those as well.

Also, also,

shout outs to the Allen Report.

That's our guy over there on the East Coast, Boston, Massachusetts, taking care of all these tyrants over there and praising the good officers as well, praising good public employees.

So shout out to the Allen Report.

Any other questions that you know, just like, why do you guys think it's so bad?

Like everywhere seems to be like not just a one-state issue, right?

Well, the first thing is accountability.

It goes back to people are afraid.

to show what's going on.

Why?

Because it goes back again to they have a job.

If you get arrested, that messes with your your income.

That could mess with your family.

So a lot of people would rather just turn the other way, look around.

And that's one of the main problems.

Is it true these police,

certain police officers have these quotas to hit when it comes to arrests?

Some people say that.

I'm really not.

I hope not.

Yeah.

You know, that's.

That's not good.

That means they're

revenue generators, and that's not what their job is.

Their job literally is to uphold the Constitution.

And, you know, if any, if anyone is breaking the law, holding them accountable.

But,

you know,

we're the ones that have to hold police accountable as well for their misconduct.

A lot of people

get mistreated.

Police officers sometimes are rude.

It may not violate your rights, but they're rude.

Was that necessary?

Was it necessary for a police officer?

No.

if you let's say you're speeding and and you get pulled over okay i broke the law hit me with a ticket whatever it is is it necessary for him to come over here and say something uh uh

rude or smart or

you know in an asshole way no no they like to it's not part sometimes i think they do it on purpose the thing is it's it's against their job It's literally totally against their policy.

Their policy is that they have to be courteous, professional.

You know, they're police officers, bro.

They're supposed to be the good guys here.

And we want to, sometimes, bro, nine times out of ten, you try to shake a police officer's hand.

They've got this gap, bro.

There's this gap between us for some reason.

They don't.

And if they hear you, like they hear us talking about, they're like, oh, okay, you're one of these guys.

You're one of those guys, huh?

You're a sovereign citizen.

And they start putting names.

I've been called that too.

I'm like, no.

Sovereign citizen.

I'm a U.S.

citizen.

Oh, those are the people that get rid of their citizenship, sovereign?

I think some weird stuff.

I think they drive.

They drive without IDs and stuff.

They don't have their phone.

They put a paper on their

license plate.

I don't know.

That's crazy.

That's wild.

You know, I believe that we do need some order, obviously.

I agree with

the way things.

are supposed to go but they're they're they're they're not going the way that they're supposed to go we're definitely for sure not anti-police.

That's good, right?

Yeah, we're not anti-police.

We believe that we need it.

So, when the defund the police movement happened, what were you guys doing doing that?

Well, you know, I

believe that each state should make the decision, whatever they want to do with the funds towards the police.

But

I think that the police does need funds, you know, to do their job.

Some states, I guess, police officers are getting paid like a lot of money.

You know, these guys,

North Las Vegas,

they got a $40,000 signing bonus.

Wow.

That's impressive.

And this is.

To be fair, that is a dangerous area.

So I'm assuming the cops in more risky areas get paid more.

Yeah.

You know?

So, well,

and that's fine.

I guess that's okay

if there's a bonus like that.

But

we need to make sure that the police officers from North Las Vegas are actually upholding the Constitution.

We just uploaded a video about three weeks ago from the North Las Vegas post office.

Not only did police officers had no jurisdiction on federal property, but they went in there and they trespassed us illegally from the post office.

Yes.

So as of now, I'm trespassed from one of the post offices in North Las Vegas, even though I was never disorderly.

I never broke the law.

broke i i i i didn't break any policies because the policy from the post office uh uh the rules and regulations of poster seven which is the the actual um rules rules from the post office has a whole section for news uh for photographs uh for news purposes so

as long as you're in the uh for news purposes uh pictures may be taken in entrances lobbies foyers corridors auditoriums when when used for public meetings.

And then if it's any restricted areas, then obviously you need permission from security personnel, postmaster,

supervisor, or somebody in charge.

Yeah.

And if this is a good video, too, because he got trespassed from this place.

And if there wasn't no camera behind it, there would be no accountability.

Now people can go back to this video and see how

the employee is being irresponsible.

He wasn't being professional.

And his job was really easy.

All he had to do is, you know, if there was a nuisance, A, they're okay.

They can film.

He should know how it works and just calm everything down.

But instead, he decides to instigate a little more, spice things up.

And since he's a federal employee, we have police officers.

They kind of tend to listen to each other a little more because...

we're the bad guys or we're the instigators

thing is they never call the they never call the proper agency they're supposed to call the postal inspector the postal police yeah those people are right around the corner from any post office in every city i didn't even know that existed postal police yes and then trust me it's hard to find them but but i've i've actually met postal police with the postal patrol car so what's the difference between them and a police officer he's a federal police officer oh he's federal okay so that's the thing police officers uh don't have any uh jurisdiction on at the post office oh so they can't go in and arrest you no but they still do whatever they want

according to auditing america on video they we have city police going onto federal property and that because the thing is they have to if there's imminent danger if there's something that it's about to happen yes they can go in and neutralize the situation But they are in no, they have no jurisdiction to trespass anyone from there.

At that point, if they really want it, that felt like anyone needed to be trespassed, they need to contact the postal inspector or postal police who's going to come or go over there and determine that because he's the one that's going to, that has jurisdiction to investigate that

incident.

Especially over something super petty.

In this case, it was really petty for the reason he got trespassed.

Wow.

It was really uncalled for.

But again, these videos jail.

These videos, show who was in the wrong and people get to redress their government yeah do you guys go in with big cameras or are they hidden like what's the setup we always uh we always uh go with our phones because we want to promote uh the freedom of the press and everybody already has everything they need if they have a phone

so

Everybody that you don't think that if you, if, if I'm telling you to go check up on your on your local government, you need a whole YouTuber starter pack or something.

You guys have everything you need right here on your phone.

If you want to work on a video or

criticize or in a positive or negative way, your government, you have everything you need on your phone.

So you can go ahead and do that.

And it doesn't matter what kind of phone.

Plus, it's more of,

since it's an audit, We don't want to look like the average camera guy as well walking in there because they'll already start getting the idea.

Okay, we got a news crew.

And thus, we want them to just be like be natural.

We want to get a natural reaction of how they

do when they see a regular citizen

using their camera phone in a peaceful way when it comes to filming them as employees.

That makes sense.

How do you guys choose where to go?

To are you getting tips from people saying this place is not operating correctly?

Oh, yes.

We get a lot of

emails and comments in our channel where people are suggesting and trying to get us to go places.

For the most part,

we just pretty much

have been going, we play it by ear pretty much.

We're like, okay, we sit down with the guys and like, yo, where we're going next week.

Let's see what's going on.

We see whatever events that may be happening.

And then we choose our location.

But

yeah, man, we're missing.

We're missing the North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota.

We're missing

Soon we're going to go to Utah,

but we haven't done Utah.

We haven't done Idaho.

There's a few states we still haven't done, but.

So you've done about 45, you said earlier.

What have been the best and worst?

Well, I tell you, one of the best experiences that I had was pretty much, I'd say, going to Alaska and doing these videos.

I got to go through.

I went to Juneau, Alaska.

I went to Anchorage and I went to Fairbanks.

And not only that was always kind of like my dream state to visit,

being from growing up in Florida, Alaska is like so far from us.

So I always wanted to go see the nature over there in Alaska and being able to go do these videos over there and work.

and educate people at the same time, enjoying living, you know,

scratching another item from my bucket list.

It was just amazing.

But when it comes to respectful police officers, we have respectful police officers in every state.

We have disrespectful police officers in every state.

You know, we have some state capitol buildings that I don't know, some like, for instance, the Georgia State Capitol, you can't go in there unless you provide ID.

People's building, why do you have to waive your rights when you're going in?

That's what that entire,

that's what everybody in that building talks about our rights that's what that place is about

even here even here at the courts you know um the first amendment states freedom of the press no governmental agency state local federal should impede but they give you a piece of paper they say you can't answer you try to boom well just go to court here yeah trespassing and you go to jail there is a courts that will let you but you can kind of tell where the tyrants are and when they're not that's interesting.

Wow.

Yeah, that is very fascinating.

I think people like you guys are needed, though, are all still abuse their power.

Like the first, I got started here originally.

I'm a cop watcher.

What's up?

A cop watcher is when you see a police officer having an interaction with someone else.

You pull up to them with a certain amount of space and you start recording.

Kind of like an audit, but you cop watch.

You just.

watch officers.

I started a small furniture store and then eventually I would have clients saying, hey, bro, I can't come make a payment today.

And they'd be like, I got arrested.

I got to do this.

And eventually it started to line up.

And they're like, bro, you need to come check this dude out.

I go and this officer, he's just pulling random people over, doing illegal searches.

And I started recording him.

He didn't like that.

Boom.

Next thing I know, he has it in for me.

So every other stop he would see me, he tried taking me in, all of them.

Damn.

I've been arrested plenty of times, maybe like seven nine very very petty arrests just for filming we got arrested we got arrested in 2021 here both of you together

with our boy and and the alan report report

we got we all got arrested for jaywalking

what people arrest you for that

killed a village dude it used to be arrestable here until last year right they got rid of it were you on were you on the strip no no um in front of the fbi building so we did an audit oh wow yeah we did an audit we were filming the fbi building they said oh you guys gotta to get the hell out of here.

So we left and we're walking down the, down the, down the sidewalk.

Never in my life, I have, you know, they know they say ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

So it isn't, but different states, different laws.

But

I guess they said, well, we'll let them go because they're going to jaywalk.

And we did.

Wow.

We jaywalked and then this police officer just show up and he's like, sit down.

And I was like, no, if I'm being detained, I'm being detained.

I'm right here.

I don't have to sit down on the ground.

Was it the feds or was it the police officers?

A little bit of all of them.

Wow.

They grabbed them, slammed them on the floor.

Hold.

Oh, I forgot about that.

This is why I feel like you guys need hidden cameras on you at the same time, though.

That was a crazy day.

It was very, very corrupt that day.

Tell them what the officer told me once.

He took it.

Yeah, he even took it off.

He went to a point where he's all like, you know, you guys are poking the wrong pair.

I'm going to make sure uh i know which cameras we're recording because he asked which cameras we're recording and we stay quiet he's like all right well i'm gonna take all your phones they took my phone for over a year what over a year and guess what they took my phone too and uh that was uh

i

2021 right yeah they took my phone during the pandemic they they took my phone and they never got it back what i never got my phone they still have your phone no they probably destroyed it already but they never they never i i tried they gave me the run around i i could never get through damn the proper person to obtain my camera back he he got his camera back how'd you get yours i had to go through court i went to the judge um that uh

the officer arrested me and i had the appointment with the judge i told her look these guys are messing with me they won't give me my phone back i filed a motion to get my phone back yeah and yeah she signed it she's all like i'm sorry They were actually pretty cool.

The prosecutor and the judge kind of saw that I'm a cool guy.

I have no criminal record.

And the same officer keeps taking me to the bathroom.

Just messing with you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So she signed it off.

She's all like, yeah, you should get it within like maybe 14 days.

Took me like another six months.

Jesus.

You guys need a good-ass lawyer.

Yeah, they didn't give us.

They don't want to take cases here.

They're afraid.

It's a money thing.

Wait, why would they be afraid, though?

I have no clue.

I guess FBI is a big opponent.

I've got.

You know, I had a police, the officer that arrested us.

us.

Sorry to interrupt.

They said,

every, this was his words to me.

He said, every time I see you,

you're going to go to jail.

Jeez.

I was like, and as I was handcuffed in front of the patrol car, he said that.

And then he goes, and there was a FBI agent standing right there because it happened in front of the FBI.

So a couple of FBI guys came over and they were just standing there while

the city police, Metro, right, did their thing.

But I told the federal agent, which is the federal, the FBI are the ones that are supposed to protect our First Amendment rights and civil rights violations.

If anybody gets their rights violated, it's the FBI who gets to investigate that police department.

It just honestly really, never, really gets to that point.

But I told the FBI agent, I said, did you hear what he just said?

And he's like, oh, I don't think he meant that.

I mean, they're probably friends.

Yes.

This guy meant that.

You know,

if he didn't mean that, he wouldn't be putting me in jail right now for jaywalking.

Wait, so one guy arrested you seven times.

What happened to that, police officer?

He's still there.

What happened was we were recording.

It was at night, maybe like one o'clock in the morning.

Long story short, I was with two other.

auditors.

We get him.

He's telling this lady and this gentleman, let me see your ID.

You don't have registration.

The gentleman pops out of his car.

He has a little smile.

He's nervous.

The officer, he's all like, why are you smiling?

Being an asshole.

He goes, you know, if you keep smiling, I'm going to take you to jail.

And then his wife kind of like said something he didn't like or something.

He goes, all right, if you keep it up, I'm going to make you and your baby walk these lonely streets.

And you know how ugly it is in here.

So we're recording that he didn't like all that coming out to the internet.

So

there's a sidewalk.

I put my foot on the gutter.

He pulls up to me.

He goes, you stepped on my roadway.

That's pedestrian in the roadway.

You're going to jail.

What?

You're going to jail.

I'm like, bro, there's a car in front of me.

How am I supposed to get to my car?

Do I freaking levitate?

You know?

Yeah.

And just petty stuff like that.

And then the thing is, you'll fight it in court later, but it makes them happy that they get to take you.

You get to eat bread on bread.

You get the satisfaction.

Yeah, yeah.

And you can't do anything about it.

Bread on bread.

That's a terrible thing.

You ever heard of that?

No, what does that mean?

That's one of the traits they give you in jail really

holy crap bread and bread that's all they give you in jail bread

there

there's there a lot of people eat different food but i was i was in jail for four hours once there's one there's one specific day that you get bread on bread in the morning for sure damn what's the longest you guys have been in jail how many over

Over

doing these videos on my first year, I got arrested three times, bro.

So on my third arrest, even though I'm a private attorney and everything, they

revoked, I couldn't get bonded out again because

no bail because I accumulated three arrests.

Is that how it works?

Three arrests and you can't.

Well, once you get arrested, you bond out, right?

And you're supposed to not get arrested again.

If you get arrested again, that violates your terms and conditions from your bail.

And then you could stay in jail for

as long as the case goes.

Or unless your attorney fights for you to be able to receive another bond or something like that.

So that's what happened.

My, my, the second time,

my attorney

got me a bond and then she's like, don't audit no more.

For wait, wait.

But I just couldn't.

You got that itch.

I couldn't.

There was no way I needed to go out.

I needed to go.

I mean, that's how you make a living too so this is some people some people just don't understand they're like oh these guys have nothing to do you don't have a life you know i'm like bro we're we've been creating content for six years we're we're trying to be nice people everywhere we go uh we try to uh show people that uh the first amendment is for everybody not just for the mainstream news And

a lot of people are willing to learn.

Some people just still don't agree.

It's It's a hard job what we do.

You know, I mean, no one, we've all been in traffic and no one says when there's a cop car behind you, oh, I feel super sick.

Yeah.

Everybody, and

you know, even police officers, they know that the average person, when they see the those lights on their rear view, my heart drops.

Yeah.

Even if you have nothing, even if you're the nicest person that would never, that has never broken the law and that, you know, all you would, all you did was going five, six, seven over the speed limit and you got arrested people still get nervous yeah people shouldn't be nervous when when the police comes over exactly they they you know that the police officer should be nervous but he needs to be professional us we are we are their

we are their bosses they work for us i'm not telling you to be disrespectful or or treat you know treat them like like like your employee but yes if the police officer if you can see that the police officer is missing on something that you obviously know that him as a police officer, it is within his job to do,

you can remind him.

You can remind him.

I mean, he'll probably tell you, don't tell me how to conduct my investigation.

Oh, he'll definitely say that.

But

you have the right to speak, to speak up your mind,

to let them know how you feel, to let them know

what you want.

You know, you a lot of

people say that they have all these political beliefs,

but they never do anything about it, but sit down

in the kitchen or in the

comment section.

They're in your comments hating on you.

Oh, no, that's another thing.

Some people say, oh, well, you know, in the comment section, there's all these people, everybody hates me.

I'm like, no, well, you know, usually when

somebody likes a video or

whatever it is they're watching, if they like it, it's rare that a person, I mean, there's a lot of people that do, millions of people actually do and go and praise you for your great content and your great work.

But most of the time when somebody likes something, they either like it or they share it.

But

it takes for you to touch somebody's heart,

for them to leave a good comment.

Now, guess who's the first one right there in the comment section

to leave a bad comment?

The hater.

hater the trolls yeah oh man they they they they they love it there's some people that also do these videos uh live live make a living out of stealing our videos and

Don't be afraid to use your phones, your cameras.

I feel another cameras, your phones are like your best friends nowadays.

I feel like Mr.

Peanut,

the squirrel guy.

Yeah, he just came on.

Yeah, he would have, he would have had maybe a possible different outcome if he was recording everything.

They probably wouldn't have let him, to be honest.

He's allowed to, he's allowed to, and that's that's a lot of that's where it goes.

People don't know that they're allowed to.

They feel that if a police officer tells you, step back or go away or turn your phone off, you're not allowed to record.

You can't.

You just have to maintain a distance, you said earlier, right?

It depends.

Like for me, when I go cop watching and I'm doing these watches in front of police cars, I keep like 10, 15 feet.

It's been taken to court already.

The judge said, yeah,

there's no specific foot,

but 10, 15 is good.

And anybody that wants to go out and do these videos, by all means, you know, do them, but be safe.

Yeah.

You know, there's, there, there's officers.

This is not a joke.

You know, there's officers out there dealing with criminals as well.

You know, you don't, you never, we never know that if one of these cop watching videos that we're doing, it's a guy that's wanted for murder and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get out of there.

You know,

it's dangerous.

So

keep your distance.

Absolutely.

Stay safe.

And

continue sharing the word for the Constitution and Freedom and the First Amendment.

Love it.
