And that's what we need everyone to remember is that we vote for the govt we get at the local level. Voting for a good sheriff or a good mayor who hires a good chief of police can what kind of law enforcement you get in your area. Our state legislators did a lot of these things but until they do our best bet for good law enforcement is the local voting booth and who we vote for can decide what kind of law enforcement officers we get. We have an issue with what happens when officers mess up but the best defense against that is to have law enforcement officers who don't mess up in the first place and that's decided by who leads them.

Yeah but he’s the civilian, and they are supposed to be paid professionals… at work none the less. If they don’t like the guy they aren’t required to play his game. Only to provide services.

They didn't call the cops, they didn't try to kick him out. All they did was admonish him for being a strange dick.

Sometimes you have to prod at things that seem odd. Other less-than-fit officials would have been completely unhinged in an uncomfortable confrontation like that one.

[@jearrico]

​@@gpaccentertainment2918While I agree that audits require diligence and sometimes involve questioning unusual behaviors, it’s also important to recognize when actions might escalate rather than clarify. It seems likely that the man's initial statement about not causing trouble may not have been entirely truthful, especially considering his later argumentative behavior. If the individual in question appeared argumentative, it could impact the effectiveness of the audit process by creating unnecessary tension. Maintaining professionalism and constructive dialogue is key to ensuring audits proceed smoothly and achieve their intended goals of transparency and accountability.

[@jssamp4442]

@@randalthor2859 This is true. Personally, I wish more positive encounters would get posted. I am not sure how often they occur. We see it when things go sideways, but do we see negative interactions almost exclusively because they are most common, or because of the way KZbin algorithms and culture work? I hope it's just that people don't click on them so they seldom get posted. I've have only had one police encounter in which I was treated worse than I deserved. But I am not naive enough to think that one officer who lied under oath is the only bad cop, or that he represent every cop. The truth, I expect is somewhere in between. But the lack of transparency by police and the lack of consequences for their bad behavior must inevitably lead to increasing levels and frequency of illegal actions by police. A job with power and authority, but little oversight and accountability, both encourages people to do things the easy but illegal way, and also entices those seeking such freedom of action to apply.

QI protects REASONABLE error and any reasonable person would not have hit that panic button over a guy filming and not breaking any laws. In fact I can give a great example of when the police arrested me because I would not leave the post office when filming. I told the officers to call the city attorney because what they were about to do was unlawful and that their qualified immunity would not hold up because they have the opportunity to verify. They didn't call and arrested me and the charges were dropped and their QI was revoked. Mistakes made because of bad training or bad policy etc... QI will protect them. Mistakes made because of ego and feelings and simply being a control freak and of course out right stupidity like in this video QI will not protect.

“The vitality of civil and political institutions in our society depends on free discussion… it is only through free debate and free exchange of ideas that government remains responsive to the will of the people and peaceful change is effected. The right to speak freely and to promote diversity of ideas and programs is therefore one of the chief distinctions that sets us apart from totalitarian regimes. Accordingly a function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. Speech is often provocative and challenging. It may strike at prejudices and preconceptions and have profound unsettling effects as it presses for acceptance of an idea… That is why freedom of speech, though not absolute… is nevertheless protected against censorship or punishment, unless shown likely to produce a clear and present danger of a serious substantive evil that rises FAR ABOVE public inconvenience, annoyance, or unrest.” ❤

First I never said being rude was against the law.... That guy was rude and riled those people up for his little KZbin video on purpose. Was the other party in the wrong as well.. Yes. What they should of done was ignore and not respond to a person who purposely baited them.

[@anotheranon2u]

If it's a public building and you work for the government, NO, you do NOT have that right.

[@choccolocco]

@@anotheranon2u What!?! Newsflash: just because they work for the government or public does not mean they don’t have rights as well. What a delusional comment.

[@aaroncalhoun157]

@@anotheranon2u a door may be shut for any number of reasons, but the door was clearly marked and unlocked, such that anyone having business in that office could have entered. So there is ZERO reason why a person occupying that office should not "have that right" to simply close a door that is perfectly able to be reopened.

[@patrickboothe229]

Imagine if 20 dudes a day came walking into their office asking “Why’d you close the door?” They’d never get anything done. This dude suuuuucks.

If a taxpayer funded employee doesn't like being asked questions, they are free to go work in the private sector.

[@lp.shakur]

by the looks of it they don't anyway

[@worldcure7883]

That's their perogative and their issue not his. It's his right to be there they can choose not to interact with him. You are protected by the constitution to "suck" and be annoying. Did you not watch the whole video or are you just suffering from a nasty case of cognitive dissonance.

[@sicklygreyfoot]

Been said a number of times, but a lot of these 1A auditors are just needlessly antagonizing people--including cops--for KZbin engagement. There was nothing untoward transpiring here until he came in knowing full well he was making people uncomfortable & hoping for a reaction. Yes, of course it's wrong to violate his 1A rights. That should be stopped w/out hesitation. But he created this situation just for clicks. And I think AtA should have called this guy out. What he was doing was unnecessary. Save the audits for actual infractions. We shouldn't be celebrating this man.

[@nymusicdude]

Amen.

[@nealm8709]

Law trumps feelings. That sums it up.

[@mosinc7388]

That dude is just tryna pick a fight.

[@falcon127]

GOVERNMENT CAN (NOT) TELL YOU TO LEAVE BECAUSE SOMEONE DOES NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY IS PUBLIC PROPERTY (NOT) PRIVET PROPERTY.

Finally, officers that know and uphold the law!

They're learning thanks to 1st amendment auditors.

Escalates encounter- 2 minutes later "now everyone why don't you de-escalate things"

[@anarchium_wellsquest]

asking pointed questions is escalation? to the point of requiring police? snowflakes like you are why we need auditors, you misfits need to leanr when it is and isn't inapprpriate to call the police cause your feelings are hurt

[@nymusicdude]

I have to agree with many of these comments that Mr. McHenry was being annoyingly confrontational and seemed to be trying to provoke angry reactions out of people just because he had the first amendment right to do so. He needs to find something better to do with his time. Because I don’t believe that he was simply “doing a story.”

[@megaultrasonic]

Yeah, that's what I hate about a lot of these audits. Sure, it's not illegal to be an ass, but it's also not illegal for them to put up any resistance to your provocation; to a much less degree, they're allowed to be assertive back, and these auditors tend to get all offended when it happens. It's part of the reason why I'm glad this channel doesn't just do audits anymore and also does civilian/cop interactions.

[@IAmTheRealBill]

@@megaultrasonic there is a difference between responding in kind and hitting a panic button that calls a squad of police expecting there to be a dire situation on their arrival. Do you not see the difference?

[@nymusicdude]

@@IAmTheRealBill that wasn’t the right thing to do either. No one said that it was.

[@choccolocco]

@@IAmTheRealBill Do you not understand how many disgruntled idiots show up to court houses every day? The fact that he would not let the door thing go would raise a red flag with me as well, because they do not know who this guy is nor what his end goals are. The idea that these “auditors” have rights and no one else does just because they are public employees is ridiculous, and I can tell you that I would not be happy if I were one of those super nice lady’s husband, brother, or father. They have rights just like the antagonist, who was clearly trying to cause a problem after he wasn’t getting the response he wanted for KZbin clicks.

[@hizzy70]

SHE PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BUTTON! Thats insane

[@racefeen22p]

He wanted to make the employees uncomfortable. He wanted to see what they would do if he kept pressing that discomfort button.

[@fivecolorscotty]

Isn't that the point of auditing, to see who can handle legal actions taken in their building? He didn't break any laws. You don't have to like him

[@thedancingsousa]

Yeah, and that's called being a creep. They didn't consent to being part of his social pressure test.

[@altfemboy3109]

Yeah like if some dude came up to my desk with a Camera I'd be a little uncomfortable especially if he came back in being like "are y'all talking about me?". Gives off a "I'll meet you in the parking lot" sorta vibe

[@CaptainAdmiralMango]

@@thedancingsousa Actually yes they did the moment they decided to work there

[@thedancingsousa]

@@CaptainAdmiralMango signing on as an office worker at a municipal building is not giving a blank check to any random passerby to be uncomfortable. That's like saying it's ok for boomers to abuse retail workers because they took the job and that's part of it. No it isn't. Their job isn't to entertain creeps. Their job is whatever their job is, and this creep happened to be there trying to force them into his social experiment. Keep your kinks at home with people who consented.

[@Monkor002]

Bro caused all this because 2 women closed a door? The line of "Ill leave if you dont want me in here" falls a bit flat the last 4 times he says it lmao

McHenry gets an A(?) for being the human equivalent of sticking your finger an inch from someone’s face and repeating “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you…”

if thats how you saw this, dont work customer service because you will catch a charge

[@Tragicarp]

@@anarchium_wellsquestCharge for what?

[@anarchium_wellsquest]

@Tragicarp either being aggressive with a customer, or making a false emergency call, with your sensitive ass

[@Li_ska]

I want more interactions like this. It makes my day to see officials and ordinary people get along and respecting each other.
