>> Doors >> and and I trying to help him get some automatic doors at this post office. And even at McDonald's, they need automatic doors.
>> Talking to you guys, >> they make millions and trillions of dollars. Why can't they put automatic doors in bathrooms?
>> I mean, come on, man.
>> I agree. I agree with you.
>> How you doing, sir?
>> She won't be >> just recording everything. Yeah, I'm uh basically I'm exercising our first amendment right to record anything you can see in public and I'm kind of creating a news story, I guess, of the people who respect our rights versus the people who are uneducated about our rights versus the people who disagree with our rights. Let me get it for this young lady right here.
>> That's so nice of you.
>> Definitely. Definitely.
>> Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome. Enjoy your afternoon.
Have a good one, ma'am. Drive better.
Oh, she's still recording us, you guys.
And she left her car on. Hold on. Hold on one second, sir. I'm going to get her driving off. I got to get the drive of shame.
>> The drive of shame?
>> Yeah. It's what we call it on the internet. The drive of shame.
YouTube. You want to You want to give your name for YouTube?
>> No, I can defin There's no way I can find your name off of uh this. I'm going to build a quilt, though.
Drive safe, sir. They're not They're not going to come. If you want, you could just drive off. Like I said, go home, bro. I hope you have a good day. And I mean it.
Like, don't don't sit in the sun because what's going to happen is they're going to show up. They're going to tell you to go home. That I'm not doing nothing wrong. And so, I don't want you to waste your time. Especially how Did you see they drove by?
>> No, I didn't see >> the police. The police car drove by and it kept going. I thought they were going to come in this way, but that's a one way. So, they didn't even stop here for you. Um, I promise you, sir, what I'm doing is exercising our first amendment right to record anything you can see in public. If you can see it, you can record it. And so, I'm educating people on our rights in this country. Um, I was going to let you sit here. I really don't want you to waste your time. I'm probably only going to be here for about 10 more minutes cuz I've been here for an hour and a half. I'm probably going to be here for about 10 minutes and I'm going to leave. Go home to your family.
Enjoy your day. It's just an education.
I was exercising my rights today and that's it. I don't want you to sit in this heat and waste your waste your you know your beautiful day. You know what I mean? They drove by and they're not coming back.
>> You're so proud of exercising your rights. Why do you wear a mask?
>> I wear a mask to teach people that if they do not want to be recorded, they have to create their own privacy because there's no expectation of privacy in public. If you can see it, you can record it and you can't trespass the eyes. Imagine you telling me I can't look at it. Imagine every single person in this video standing right here and you telling all of them not to look at you. And so I wear a mask to show to tell people if you want privacy, cover your face up. Whether it's a face mask or it's dark glasses and a hat or dark glasses and a co mask, you have the right to create your privacy, but you have no expectation of privacy in public. And so I go around to different public buildings and I educate peacefully the citizens. I educate our rights.
That's it. But I don't It's hot. I I'm telling you, I'm I've been here for already I just started a new video. So, I've only been recording for 2 minutes, but I've been recording for an hour and 40 minutes now. I've been here four or five times. I This is This is my job.
So, it's what I go around doing to educate the public. Um but they drove they drove they drove past. I don't want you to sit out here in the sun and worry [snorts] about me cuz I'm going to leave and you're going to still be waiting for the police. I don't want you to do that.
Um let's make up. Let's make up. Come on, man. We're both grown men, bro.
Let's make up.
>> Why? Why did you lie to me and say you're 17?
>> Because I like to have fun with what I'm doing. When people don't understand our rights, I like to troll them and act like a clown just because uh it's childish. You're calling the police on somebody. You're supposed to call the police when somebody's breaking the law, not when they're exercising their rights. And we all have this right. You can take a picture of me. You can take a picture of my car. You know what I'm saying? Like, uh, these are our rights.
So, it was funny. It was funny to me.
Um, it actually I could tell you're not actually not sitting in the heat. You're sitting in the air condition.
So, you're doing good. But they're just driving off. I I saw you over here and I'm like, >> which car is yours?
>> Um, whatever one they're about to get into, sir. I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't drive here. I didn't drive it. I'm still I'm still trolling you. I didn't drive here. But have a good one, man. Um, see, it's it's a lot of people polite. It's only it's only uh 2% of people that get mad at you recording in public. You walked into that public building. There's cameras everywhere.
Guess what? Me and you, we can request all that camera footage. We own it because we pay taxes for that camera, those cameras to record. And so what I do is I just go around educating the public. I don't want you wasting your day waiting for the police who was so disrespectful enough to drive past. And because you haven't called again, they know like, "Oh, there's no problem there. He He's waiting for us." They're going to let you sit here. I'm I'm being nice to tell you you should go home. The police are going to let you sit here.
But whether you want to listen, sir.
Whether you want to dab me up or not, that's fine. You have that right. I hope you have a good day.
>> I'm a First Amendment guy, too.
>> Yes, sir.
>> But but I feel you're But I'm also a privacy guy.
>> Yeah.
>> And I feel that we have our Yeah. If we're in public, I agree with you that you can >> There's no expectation of privacy.
>> See, that >> No, HE'S GOOD. HE'S GOOD.
>> NO, NO. The one in the building.
>> Which one? That's bad guy that just walked in being a piece of [ __ ] >> WHAT'D HE DO to you?
>> He [ __ ] tried to hit me and he was going the wrong way.
>> Is he a big guy?
>> Yeah, >> I'm going to go check him for you.
>> Yeah, [ __ ] that guy.
>> Yeah, he's he's mad [clears throat] about some guy, I guess, almost crashed into him going the wrong way. Um, yeah, sir. I I understand your you you respect the First Amendment, but you kind of want your privacy. And for some people, um, I I definitely understand when their privacy is invaded, it makes them uncomfortable and it kind of makes them act out in ways they normally shouldn't.
>> See, I've had my identity stolen twice.
>> Yeah.
>> Creep like you.
>> Well, you called me a creep again. Don't call me that.
>> Well, you look like one. You have to You have to understand that you look like one. Okay. Okay.
>> Like you're a grown You're a grown ass man crying to a person younger than you about exercising our rights in America.
And you still want to call me a name after the police drove disrespect you.
The police drove by. They didn't give two shits about you. I was nice enough to come over here and tell you what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. And you still want to call me names. Go sit here as long as you want. I'm going to exercise my rights. Have a good day, sir. And that's what you get for calling me names. I'm normally not that guy, but um I like to I like to match energy. If you're going to call me names, I'm going to go a step further. You know what I'm saying? Enjoy your afternoon, sir. Tried to tell him, bro. I tried to tell him like, "Go home.
>> He don't care." He was kind of cool with it. He was like he understood what I was saying, but I'm like, "Bro, the police drove past. They're they're not going to show up. I wanted to give you the courtesy of letting you know. Just go.
I'm leaving in 10 minutes. Don't >> He don't hear you.
>> He don't hear me.
>> You're right. He don't hear me.
>> He don't hear you.
>> Yeah.
>> Back in.
>> How's it going?" All right.
>> All right.
>> If my dad told me so.
>> Let me walk you. I got you.
>> I'm fine, thank you. You >> sure? Okay.
>> I'm 101 and I can still do.
>> I'm glad you made it, ma'am. Amen. 101.
>> Yes, I am. I heard you say, bro.
>> That's a blessing right there. I'm 73 coming up. That's a blessing. You're like my great grandmother.
>> All right, you guys. That about wraps it up for Modesto Post Office. Um, I would say overall it was a good day. We did have some Karens and Darren freak out on us. However, I ended it with my guy Kevin and it was very peaceful today.
Thank you guys for tuning in and stay tuned for more videos. I'm working on going fulltime. Peace.
