department it is public property funded by a tax dollar actually it's not who funds the sheriff's apartment this isn't the Sher doesn't matter who funds it it's still why does it say Sheriff's Department it's still funded by tax dollars I could be at the prison and it wouldn't matter it's funded by our tax dollars so I'm not being detained for said you were in prison what you I said it's like being on a prison property is still funded by tax dollars yeah that that doesn't mean you can't be on Prison property try it and see what happens happens try to get in there I've done a lot of

if we're waiting on answer to see if they want you primly trespassed if we do then you're going to be primally trespassed and then you will leave the property if not you can stay here I am by all means you can stand right there too I don't I don't care where you stand but want you see is not going to be here the situation escalates as the officer threatens to trespass the man from standing on a public sidewalk which raises concerns about the officer's understanding of the law oh I'm going to tell you something I'm not detained so you don't get my D the best thing you guys can do for yourself is to go back in your car and leave I'm just being I'm just being honest I'm you think that I I don't think your attitude is problem now that's why that's why there's a disconnect yeah I agree yeah that's why I'm here for to test out to see if you guys respect my rights and you failed miserably thank you you know the other put it on my Emil the the other police or you can look up the Complaint Form him and write a complaint too I I might do that do it I might just not today I got I got better things to me too so I mean you can leave I will whenever I get an answer kind of bored I am you know I'd rather be doing with real crime instead of make people like this well you can leave who think they know the law I do know the law I'm sure I may not know all the laws that I'll give you I that I'll give you but I know enough all right Sheriff said you need to leave the property I am on the sidewalk okay and keep walking I'm on a sidewalk this is not their property how about you disperse and when you guys leave I'll leave how about you take running your dumb mouth why you got to be so mean I'm not mean you're just cool out of yourself you're calling me dumb let's get something I want you to understand something okay if you go back on the property over here the sheriff's off property that's the parking lot parking lot their property anywhere around there okay and we come back and see you there you'll be arrested as the officers realize they won't make any Headway one of them starts threatening the auditor before they eventually leave the scene in embarrassment well how about get the sheriff out here I don't have get anybody out here or a deputy sheriff have to have a here they told us we have the authority to do it okay it's within the city limits okay whatever you said so I'm just letting you know don't go back on the property okay good so just understand if you come back on the property you going to jail you going to violate my rights I'm going to take you to jail you're going to violate my rights I'm going to take you to jail I promise you that's how we going to do it okay when it comes to recording Law Enforcement Officers the First Amendment safeguards the right to record and share footage as a form of free speech particularly in public spaces enabling citizens to document actions and behaviors for later review however the officers in this situation appeared unhappy with the recording activity next up these police officers tried to bully a man into giving them his ID and tried to get him to stop recording in public despite their aggression the auditor doesn't back down and shows great knowledge of his rights especially the First Amendment take a look we're out at the wander Police Department doing our uh First Amendment audit and we will see how it goes Happy New Year to everyone and I hope you enjoy I'm going to walk back here where they keep their cars CU I believe that they are close closed today so walk back here and
