Housing authority’s personnel calls COPS on Journalists first Amendment Audit

This was in Crystal Lake Illinois..I was exercising my right to to record in public,and the executive director became rude right away. After awhile of recording inside,I noticed some state vehicles outside,so I went to record those as well,and a young man started to follow me around the parking lot. After I confronted him about following me,they called the cops.

Great examples of apathy and dissatisfaction with serving the public from these employees. Whole damn government needs an overhaul...

[@donnacicero9476]

These Public Employees FORGET who they work for and how to treat We, the People. When you say “you’re a public employee, they say, “no, I’m not. I don’t work for the people!!” It’s crazy!!

[@TTA42800]

You're absolutely right

[@scottross8631]

I think they should put Katie in charge of the whole place. She did a fantastic job and her smile just makes you feel relaxed.

[@astrowerm]

I applaud you for dealing with this kind of abuse from these useless condescending "public servants". You a real one bro

[@TTA42800]

Thanks alot 🙏 I really appreciate it 🙏

[@astrowerm]

@@TTA42800 I appreciate you James, I always share your channel and spread the word as much as I can. I know some auditors that could definitely learn a few things from you!

If public servants act this way on camera, imagine how they treat the public off camera.

[@TTA42800]

Exactly

Was about to make that very statement.. and they do it because they are not held accountable or expected to be professional and courteous

The lady behind the glass started out so kind, until that director came out a set the tone for how the rest of the office responded. Real-time representation of energy transfer.

[@deniserussell9857]

Public servants have gotten away with this type of behavior for decades. Now with cameras, technology, and the bold auditors, their is now accountability!!! Ijs...

Right. The rules are whatever they come up with at the moment. They think they speak law. Herr Fauzi said it. He said you can't question him because "I am science".

[@malabarspyder]

I watch many auditors, but James has become my fav. He's courageous and assertive, while still keeping things calm and civil. He mixes in a lot of humor- sometimes he says things to these guys that amazes me and makes me LOL. He confronts the most outlandish nuts and tyrants with class and effective confrontation and follow-up. I'd like to donate, please tell me how to do that?

[@sandiecheeks73]

Wow, that blonde supervisor lady is straight up rude. If I ever acted like that when I worked in corporate world I would have been immediately fired, disgusting behavior all around.

That cop did an amazing job. He explained his call for service respectfully. He explained your right to film to the ladies without any bs about you being an antagonizer or agitator. And then came out and cordially talked to you again. If only more cops had that customer service/public servant mentality towards civilians. Keep up the good work to you and the officer.

[@jeffl9167]

What an exceptionally unprofessional and nasty lady. Barking orders, saying if he doesn't list his name, address, social security number, blood type, etc., "we won't give you anything." This lady is a disgrace to that organization. A little kindness goes a long way, Miss Attitude.

Criminals with badges will do what ever they think they can get away with, including lies, drug planting, false arrests, tasing, beatings, and even murder! In America they always claim qualified immunity, (courts give them immunity from being prosecuted for there crimes, because they are revenue agents for the court system)

It is not a business. It is a public building.
