PUBLIC SERVANTS CALL POLICE ON "SUSPICIOUS" CITIZEN FOR FILMING! ENDS DIFFERENTLY THAN EXPECTED!

I was conducting a 1st Amendment Audit at the City Hall in Aurora, Illinois. At first everything was going well, but then some public servants became triggered by a citizen exercising their right to hold our government accountable and promote transparency. Unfortunately the Aurora Police were called unnecessarily. Five Aurora Police Officers arrived for a citizen with a camera, they tried to stay, in my opinion, in an attempt to “babysit” me until I left in an attempt to enforce feelings. I made it clear it was a waste of resources. Eventually they left without further incident. All public servants were properly educated and I had a great conversation with some of the law enforcement on scene which I hope helped bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community they serve.

As a European, something really surprises me from these videos: is every American living in fear of anything that's out of the ordinary? Why are people feeling threatened by someone with a phone?

[@toomanybrews7123]

People in the US prioritize privacy more than most other places. Unfortunately that means that we also have a bad habit of demanding privacy in situations where privacy isn't legally protected. It isn't that people are afraid, it is just that people are weirded out by having others recording them. It feels wrong. Much of Europe is completely oversaturated with cctv and maybe that is why you guys don't have the same response.

[@jacobgonzalez9624]

I feel it's more of a "I work here so you have to listen to me" type of mind set. People aren't challenged like this on the regular. Also like this other person is saying here they think they have privacy in places they actually don't some people are just mistaken and then get even more mad when they learn what they think is to be true really isn't

[@ADFSurvNetwork]

These public employees are doing the right thing about CALLING THE POLICE. They should call the police. Something unusual is happening at their place of business and the person doing it, is refusing to express why they are doing it or turning down requests for assistance or help. The police are SUPPOSED TO RESPOND, we want them to respond. to me this is when the audit really starts. How does the police handle the situation. Some have huge egos and need to be "trained" and others are professional, know the laws and are fine. What happens is there is a person taking photos or video taping "casing" the building to bomb it, and no one calls... You don't wait for something nefarious to occur, you act proactive. It's how they handle it. LIA does an awesome job, very respectful and knowledgeable.

I love that you make them identify before you entertain any questions asked. That’s something that always bugged me when auditors try to explain themselves for 5 minutes and then ask for a name. Puts in perspective if they’re going to confront you they should be transparent and identify, especially as a tax paid employee.

If someone was on the public sidewalk filming my house, my backyard, my cars, etc I would want the police to show up and "investigate". I think most of us would.

With all the Public Records Request's you do you should post a record of all the City's and their employees and their salaries. For transparency you are in the perfect position to provide the public with this sort of public information.

5 officers for a man with a camera...wow. They have cameras all over the building and nobody says anything. Waste of tax payers money. I think the police escalate these situations by sticking around making the city workers feel like the man with the camera is a threat

Camera all over that building without a problem and the call the police on a person with a camera. How dare you think you have the right to record them recording you!

[@LadyDragonsblood]

For the millionth time....security camera footage is there for SAFETY and is NOT released to social media for clicks, views and money.

[@Toastybees]

@@LadyDragonsblood For the millionth time it's there for accountability, not safety. The camera isn't going to jump off the wall and save anyone, it would be used in court after things happen. The camera in hand is also for accountability, and if you have a problem with people filming public places to earn money then you should rail against people filming national parks and posting it.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@Toastybees First of all, when I mean safety, I mean the security camera will "speak" to the actions of someone if they come and commit some kind of terrorist act, as you said, for accountability. Secondly, a building is NOT a public forum, it is a limited public access. And rules and polices can LEGALLY be applied. A National Park can still have rules but so far, there are no rules about photography, so you can film there all you want. The problem is this, just because a building is owned or controlled by the government, does not mean you can do whatever you want....and that is according to a court ruling. The ruling states: It is INDISPUTABLE "That the First Amendment does not guarantee access to property simply because it is owned or controlled by the government." You need to learn the difference between a Public Forum and a Limited Public Access. Also, the First Amendment says nothing about photography or video recording. It says you have the right to redress your government...you do not need a camera for that... a journalist has pad and paper, so they are not taking away any rights. You are just mad because you can't do it the way YOU want to do it, because some people think they are above the rules and policies....the LEGAL rules and policies.

[@Toastybees]

@@LadyDragonsblood You are completely out of your mind if you think a pad and paper is sufficient in modern times. The first amendment was written before cameras existed sweetie, of course it doesn't say anything about them, but the bill of rights either needs to be interpreted through a modern lens or it is completely useless. A rule or policy is not the law, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are. And whole the government does not have to allow access to government property, they don't, but in this case they allow open access. If the public can walk in at any time the building is open they have the right to film.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@Toastybees Pad and paper works just fine, and has since the beginning of time. Again, you don't understand about Limited Public Access and Public Forum. Also apparently you don't understand the Tenth Amendment. No, just because the public can walk in, does not mean you have the right to film. Where do you get these ideas? You really need to stop getting your law information from KZbin University or FaceBook College. You are 100% wrong. Please do a SERIOUS study of Limited Public Access and Public Forums....and NOT from Google. Go to this building called a Library, and pick up this thing made of thinly pressed and bound wood... with black ink on the pages, called a BOOK... and LEARN THE TRUTH before you speak of things.

Thank you for keeping it professional and being respectful. Many of us appreciate the education you're providing for public servants and the public. “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

[@foxcavanaugh99]

There was something negative about the Sgt.'s attitude I can't put my finger on the right word his kindness did not feel genuine but overall it's beautiful to see a Police force like this who seem informed and respectful of rights especially after all of the ridiculous reactions we've seen from other Police forces in your videos lately
