Cop’s Authority Gets DESTROYED After Picking the WRONG Person in First Amendment Audit…

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]We have credentials here. We're not here. Don't [ __ ] talk over.

[00:00:04]>> Excuse me.

[00:00:05]>> What are you just want form? Is that >> I want the forms and I wanted to document the building. I'm working on a story. I have freedom.

[00:00:12]>> 20 minutes.

[00:00:12]>> I've been here 20 minutes speaking with you because you keep harassing me, sir, and now you're cursing in public, which is a breach of the peace.

[00:00:19]>> But just the disdain and stuff, I don't know. Maybe because I'm holding a camera. I have no idea. Um, but you know, I don't >> I don't have any disdain. I have no idea who you are.

[00:00:27]>> I'm not anti- cop. I'm not anything like that.

[00:00:30]>> Well, that's our reason.

[00:00:31]>> Yeah, we don't want we don't want that to happen. Um, >> no, this is Oscar Meyer. It should be a fun place.

[00:00:37]>> Is there anything I can get more details about Ming Lang about what?

[00:00:40]>> Um, she's a Chinese woman, 35 to 39 years.

[00:00:43]>> What started as a simple camera recording inside a public government building quickly transformed into a full-scale constitutional showdown. A citizen journalist walked into the Boone County Clerk's office armed with nothing more than a camera and questions. But almost instantly, he was treated like a threat instead of a taxpayer. Staff members surrounded him, demanding explanations, questioning his purpose, and accusing him of causing a disturbance even though he remained calm and respectful. The tension exploded when officials insisted certain public areas were off limits to filming, despite the auditor repeatedly stating he was only documenting publicly accessible spaces. Every second the pressure intensified, voices sharpened, body language changed, and what should have been a normal interaction inside a taxpayer funded building suddenly felt like a battle between transparency and authority. But here's where things got insane. The camera never stopped rolling, capturing every uncomfortable moment in brutal detail.

[00:01:37]>> And I wanted to document the building.

[00:01:39]I'm working on a story. I have freedom.

[00:01:42]>> I've been here 20 minutes speaking with you because you keep harassing me, sir.

[00:01:45]and now you're cursing in public, which is a brief >> confrontation escalated. County clerk Don Blake took center stage, openly challenging the auditor's presence and repeatedly questioning his intentions.

[00:01:56]All right, guys. This is where the atmosphere became absolutely toxic. The auditor explained he was an independent journalist working on a story, but officials mocked his credentials and dismissed his constitutional rights as if freedom of the press only applied to mainstream media. Every attempt to exercise a lawful right was treated like suspicious behavior. Officials insisted filming employees made staff uncomfortable, while the auditor pushed back, arguing that public servants working inside a taxpayer funded building cannot simply hide from public observation. The verbal exchanges became more heated with every passing minute.

[00:02:28]Accusations of trespassing filled the hallway despite no actual crime being committed. Yet, the deeper issue slowly revealed itself. This was no longer about cameras. It was about government officials trying to decide who deserves constitutional protection and who doesn't. Sir, what are you doing?

[00:02:46]>> I'm just taking pictures in video.

[00:02:47]>> Why?

[00:02:48]>> Who? Who are you? This is employees only back here. Can I help you find something?

[00:02:52]>> This is a public hallway. I'm not going any employees only.

[00:02:55]>> Like you were about to go into the the storage room.

[00:02:58]>> I wasn't.

[00:03:00]>> Well, you can stand in the hallway all you want. I agree with you. We're just trying to make sure you're doing what you're supposed to be doing, not something else.

[00:03:06]>> Are you doing what you're supposed to be doing?

[00:03:08]>> Yeah.

[00:03:08]>> Okay, good. Just want to make sure you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

[00:03:12]What are you here to do?

[00:03:14]>> But do you see how you see how, you know, ignorant that statement might come out? Like, I'm I'm a grown man. You're a grown man. I don't need to worry about what you're doing. You don't have to worry about what I'm doing.

[00:03:23]>> I'm responsible for this facility. So, I do have to worry about what you're doing.

[00:03:27]>> Not when I'm not doing anything wrong.

[00:03:28]>> I didn't say you were doing anything wrong.

[00:03:30]>> Okay.

[00:03:30]>> But you're wandering always. My first thought was, "Can I help you find some?"

[00:03:35]>> No. That that should have been the first thing that you told me.

[00:03:37]>> That was the first thing I >> Okay. No, I don't need it. No, you told me don't go in. This is a restricted area. That was the first thing you told me.

[00:03:44]>> No, I asked you could I help you. This is employees only back here.

[00:03:47]>> I know. I don't need any help, sir. Do Can you get Can I get your name?

[00:03:50]>> Sure. I'm Don Ble. I'm the county clerk.

[00:03:52]>> County clerk. Great. That's >> what's your name?

[00:03:55]>> I I don't give out any private information, sir.

[00:03:57]>> Okay. Can I Can I help you with anything?

[00:04:00]>> No, sir.

[00:04:01]>> All right. How long are you going to be here?

[00:04:03]>> I could not tell you. I don't know.

[00:04:05]>> Okay. Well, then I'm just going to hang out with you if that's okay.

[00:04:08]>> It's a public building.

[00:04:09]You could do whatever you'd like to say.

[00:04:11]Take >> your pictures.

[00:04:14]>> You can't videotape in there.

[00:04:16]>> I'm not video.

[00:04:17]>> I'm not video. Ma'am, who are you?

[00:04:20]>> One of my managers.

[00:04:21]>> Okay. So, I would ask you to calm down.

[00:04:23]I don't like the tone you're using when you're speaking to me. I'm not doing anything illegal. I This is the county clerk. He knows I'm not doing anything illegal. If you don't want me to videotape in there, >> you need to come back this way.

[00:04:33]Something else to video. You can't video back in.

[00:04:35]>> I'm not going in there. That's >> You just did.

[00:04:37]>> I didn't go in there. videoed in there though.

[00:04:39]>> It doesn't that doesn't matter. I can I can >> We're asking you not to do that.

[00:04:44]>> I can video anywhere I can see from public, sir. I can video anywhere I can see from public. Exact. That's exactly what you do. You close the door.

[00:04:57]Sir, sir, I'd ask you stay out here.

[00:05:01]>> You can tape all you want. That's actually a work space.

[00:05:04]>> I know. I'm just going to I'm not going to be long. It's a public space. I'm just going in there.

[00:05:08]No, only if you need to transfer a car.

[00:05:11]You can film all you need to from right here.

[00:05:14]>> It's a public space, sir.

[00:05:15]>> You guys here to transfer a car?

[00:05:16]>> Yeah, >> you're right here.

[00:05:17]>> It's a public space, sir.

[00:05:18]>> No.

[00:05:19]>> Yes, it is.

[00:05:20]>> That's That's a work space.

[00:05:21]>> That's a public No. A workspace probably be behind the counter.

[00:05:23]>> Do you need to transfer a vehicle? Come on, guys. You're fine.

[00:05:26]>> Yeah. Go ahead.

[00:05:27]>> If you need to transfer a vehicle, you can go in there all you want, but you're not going to go in there and interrupt our business process.

[00:05:32]>> That's See, that's your opinion. I'm not going to interrupt any business process.

[00:05:35]>> My opinion. Yes. I'm not going in there to interrupt any business process.

[00:05:38]>> You're not going in there at all.

[00:05:41]>> You can walk the hallways all you want, but the hallways are the hallways.

[00:05:44]>> I can I can go inside of public lobby. I can do that.

[00:05:47]>> Please don't make me call the cops on you.

[00:05:49]>> Why would you call the cops on me?

[00:05:50]>> Because you're being disturbed.

[00:05:52]>> No, I'm not. You are making the disturbance, sir. I haven't disturbed anybody since I've gotten here.

[00:05:56]>> You tried to go into spaces you're not supposed to go into.

[00:05:58]>> That is an outright lie. You are lying in the space. We asked you not to film it.

[00:06:02]>> I did not go into restricted space. I wasn't going I wasn't going in into restricted spaces. That's not >> to be going in and we told you not to go in there and not >> appear to be going in. What does that even mean, sir? What does that even mean?

[00:06:14]>> I'm responsible for this facility. If we can't wander in any place they want, so I don't know what you're here to do or >> I can respect that you're responsible for the building, but this is a public building funded by taxpayers. Sir, >> keep going. But you're not going in there.

[00:06:26]>> Okay, sir. I'm going to go in and and film.

[00:06:30]>> Call 911.

[00:06:31]>> For what? For what? You're being unreasonable.

[00:06:35]>> No, I've just said you're not >> You're being unreasonable. I'm not being unreasonable.

[00:06:38]>> I'm an independent I'm an independent journalist. I'm working on a story.

[00:06:41]>> Credentials then.

[00:06:42]>> Show me.

[00:06:44]>> I get that all the time. Show me. Show me credentials. What agency in the United States government hands out credentials.

[00:06:49]>> Actually, in this state, there is one. I believe it's the state police.

[00:06:52]>> They hand out press credentials. That would be for going past crime scene tape and stuff like that. We have freedom of press. You ever heard of the first amendment, sir? I have.

[00:07:00]>> Okay. So, that means we have freedom of press. That isn't that doesn't mean you have freedom to wander in the building anywhere you want to go.

[00:07:07]>> I'm not going anywhere I want to go. I'm going into public spaces.

[00:07:10]>> I have no business here.

[00:07:12]>> How would you know that?

[00:07:13]>> You haven't offered any.

[00:07:14]>> I don't Do I have Do you ask everybody in here what their business is?

[00:07:17]>> No, because most people already know what they're going to do. You're clearly not here to do anything.

[00:07:21]>> I'm here to ask questions regarding transfers of ownership.

[00:07:24]>> Oh, no you're not.

[00:07:26]>> No, I'm not. So, you're calling me a liar?

[00:07:28]>> Yeah.

[00:07:28]>> Okay, great. Great. I don't want to deal with you anymore, sir.

[00:07:32]You're being very unreasonable.

[00:07:34]>> Don't go in there.

[00:07:36]>> You're being very unreasonable.

[00:07:37]>> I can get it there.

[00:07:39]>> We'll use your license.

[00:07:42]That's where you're at now.

[00:07:43]>> Here I am.

[00:07:43]>> You should be proud that you're building. Somebody's working on a story for your building and you should act accordingly.

[00:07:49]>> Uh I find that hard to believe. If you were really working on a story, you'd want to ask questions.

[00:07:56]>> You're doing nothing but recording.

[00:07:58]>> I don't need to ask any questions.

[00:07:59]That's not part of my story. I I don't even I doubt you even know what's done here.

[00:08:04]>> The county clerk is here obviously, right?

[00:08:06]>> Well, yeah. Okay.

[00:08:08]>> There's a few things we do and I'm saying I >> transfer of ownerships.

[00:08:11]>> That's one.

[00:08:11]>> Handicap placers >> maybe.

[00:08:13]>> M I know more than you think. Right.

[00:08:16]>> I don't know.

[00:08:17]>> Okay.

[00:08:25]>> You know what?

[00:08:27]I'm going to get the other side of that and uh make sure I got the whole office here.

[00:08:41]>> Got everything.

[00:08:42]>> The moment that changed everything.

[00:08:44]Unable to force the cameraman out themselves, officials called police officers into the building. All right, guys. The second law enforcement entered the scene. The tension shot through the roof. Officers approached cautiously while the auditor calmly explained he was filming in publicly accessible areas and exercising First Amendment rights.

[00:09:02]But instead of immediately defending those rights, officers appeared more concerned with staff complaints about discomfort and disruption. The auditor repeatedly argued that feelings alone cannot override constitutional protections, especially inside a public building funded by taxpayers. Yet, officials continued pressuring officers to remove him. Anyway, what made the encounter even more intense was the auditor's insistence on obtaining public records request forms, a perfectly legal process that somehow became another source of conflict. Every question turned into an argument. Every explanation fueled more hostility and slowly the entire situation began spiraling toward a possible unlawful arrest.

[00:09:41]>> Door closed.

[00:09:42]>> Yeah.

[00:09:52]You guys got cameras in this building.

[00:09:53]What's the difference?

[00:09:55]>> There's no >> security cameras. Yes.

[00:09:56]>> Security cameras. They're public record, though.

[00:09:59]>> Technically, yes, it's true.

[00:10:00]>> So, you know, that's kind of silly. You know, why would why would you prevent me from exercising a constitutional right when if I really wanted to, I could just >> I'm not.

[00:10:09]>> Okay, great. But you're you're making a big deal about me going into public offices. Well, you're making my staff really uncomfortable walking around filming. So, >> I must not be making I must not be making them feel that uncomfortable because your staff is right here following me around the building.

[00:10:23]>> I don't I don't understand. If you feel uncomfortable, you should stay away from the person, right? That does that only makes logical sense.

[00:10:28]>> They can't They have to work here. Your person >> She's not working. What is she doing?

[00:10:32]>> She's not the one I'm talking about.

[00:10:33]>> Oh, okay. Cuz she's not working.

[00:10:35]>> Yes, she is.

[00:10:36]>> What is she doing right now?

[00:10:37]>> Making sure I'm safe.

[00:10:39]>> Making sure you're safe. Making sure my people are safe.

[00:10:42]>> Safe from who? From me?

[00:10:44]>> Yes, cuz you're acting.

[00:10:45]>> You have the right to videotape us personally?

[00:10:47]>> Because Yes, because you're in a public space and you're a public servant, ma'am. Can I get your name?

[00:10:52]>> You know my name. I gave it to you already.

[00:10:55]>> Oh, okay. I don't I didn't I don't recall your name.

[00:10:59]>> I don't know. I would have I would just handle my business and been done already. But you guys are just preventing me from doing that and causing a scene.

[00:11:07]>> You're causing a scene.

[00:11:11]He's making everyone here uncomfortable.

[00:11:14]>> I'm making everyone uncomfortable, ma'am, for for having I feel >> I feel uncomfortable with the cameras you guys have.

[00:11:21]>> Well, then don't come here if you don't have business.

[00:11:23]>> So, don't work for the public, ma'am, if you don't want to be filmed.

[00:11:35]>> No way, sir. Don't go in there.

[00:11:40]I can get everything I need from right here.

[00:11:44]>> He's filming everybody. He has no business here that I can detect.

[00:11:48]>> Hey, how are you, sir?

[00:11:50]>> Can I Can I just get your names and badge numbers?

[00:11:52]>> Sure. Sorry.

[00:11:54]>> And badge numbers?

[00:11:55]>> 46220. Mine's 43998.

[00:11:58]>> Thank you, sir.

[00:11:59]>> No, I'm just I'm an independent journalist. I'm working on a story in this building.

[00:12:02]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:12:02]>> For the Florence County Clerk and uh just staying in publicly accessible areas. I'm not going any to restricted areas or anything like that. Just exercising my constitutional rights.

[00:12:11]That's all I'm doing here.

[00:12:12]>> Okay. Have they asked you to leave?

[00:12:14]>> No. They told me they told me that. And it wouldn't matter.

[00:12:17]>> And it wouldn't it wouldn't matter if he asked me to leave because this is a public building. I'm not committing any crimes. I'm not causing any type of disturbances. I'm not a public building, but they do have the rights and there are still rules and regulations. It's not a cart blanch type thing. You're allowed to film. You're allowed to do stuff until they ask you to leave if that's what they want you to do. If that's >> that would be a violation of my Yes, it would.

[00:12:36]>> Okay. Well, that's understandable. Um, you're willing to >> So, do we not Are you familiar with the first amendment of the Constitution, sir?

[00:12:43]>> I'm familiar with >> Okay. So, we have freedom of press. I'm a journalist.

[00:12:46]>> Absolutely. And that's why we're not saying you can't you can't do anything like that. But the >> Can I ask a favor?

[00:12:51]>> Yeah, sure. My line.

[00:12:52]>> No problem.

[00:12:53]>> At least step out this way.

[00:12:54]>> No problem.

[00:12:55]>> I understand what you're doing. That's totally fine. Um, but if they ask you to leave, you do have to leave. Well, if if they asked me to leave and you forced me to leave, >> then I would just be file a civil litigation against your against your city here.

[00:13:06]>> So, >> it wouldn't be good. I'm telling you.

[00:13:09]I'm telling you.

[00:13:10]>> Well, I don't mind the letting film. I just wanted to get it over with and get out of here. How much how much more do you need to do?

[00:13:16]>> I would have been probably done already.

[00:13:18]>> So, please answer the question. How much >> I don't I can't I couldn't tell you a time frame, sir. I told you that before.

[00:13:23]I can't tell you a time frame. I I'm just filming the publicly accessible areas. I'm not >> I'm not trying to I'm not trying to do anything >> or I'm going to say you have to leave, >> sir. That would be a very big mistake on your part, sir. I'm telling you. I'm You don't understand. But >> people threaten to sue me every day.

[00:13:38]>> Oh, listen. It's >> okay. It's an empty threat for most people, not for me, sir.

[00:13:43]>> Okay, I'm going to say it one more time.

[00:13:45]>> I'm going to conduct my business.

[00:13:47]>> Film exercise my constitutional right.

[00:13:49]Let me make this clear for you. I need to finish exercising my constitutional right in a public building. I need to do in open records requests for my story.

[00:13:59]>> You have no You have no business here.

[00:14:01]>> Open records request is not business.

[00:14:03]>> Open records request requires a particular form. I don't see one on you yet.

[00:14:07]>> You can provide me with the form.

[00:14:08]>> Mhm. You don't have to do that.

[00:14:10]>> What do you mean? You're not You're being very unreasonable. So, I can't do an open >> because you're being unreasonable.

[00:14:15]>> So, I'm asking you to give me an open I'm I'm asking you to give me an open records request form.

[00:14:20]>> I'm trying to conduct business. There is a law in Kentucky. There is a law in Kentucky, open records request. There is a law.

[00:14:28]>> I have a right to public records in the state of Kentucky.

[00:14:32]>> He is refusing to provide me with those with those documents.

[00:14:36]>> That's between you and him.

[00:14:38]>> That's not true. You have to a proper process.

[00:14:41]>> The proper process is to come to the county clerk.

[00:14:43]>> No, you have to fill out a forms. All this stuff.

[00:14:46]>> You have the forms here.

[00:14:47]>> I do not.

[00:14:48]>> Yes, you do. You go online and you print them.

[00:14:50]>> They are here. They are here.

[00:14:53]They're a record of the attorney general. Actually, >> you're being very unreasonable.

[00:14:56]>> No, you are.

[00:14:57]>> You're being very unreasonable.

[00:14:59]>> I've asked you to leave now. You have no business here. If you need an open records request, go print it yourself, mail it in, email it in.

[00:15:05]>> Print it myself and mail it in.

[00:15:07]>> Yeah. Or you can >> or I can do it here. This is the county clerk, is it not? So, if I wanted records, how would I do it if I didn't have access to a computer?

[00:15:15]>> What kind of record do you want?

[00:15:17]>> First name, last name, salary, and title of all county employees. All county employees.

[00:15:22]>> Correct. And city employees for Florence. I want both.

[00:15:25]>> Florence.

[00:15:26]>> I mean, I'm excuse me. I want the city.

[00:15:28]I want the um >> city records are next door.

[00:15:30]>> Okay, great. And county records.

[00:15:32]>> Clerk records, >> which would be the first to last name and salary.

[00:15:36]>> Submit that form and I'll be glad to get it for you.

[00:15:38]>> Okay. So, can you give me the form so I can submit it? So, >> no. I've asked you to leave twice now.

[00:15:43]I'm through.

[00:15:43]>> Are you Are you guys ordering me to Are you guys ordering me to leave the >> This next part became explosive. The auditor formally requested open records documents asking for public employee salaries and records that citizens legally have the right to access. But instead of simply handing him the forms, officials refused repeatedly, insisting he leave the building immediately. The auditor argued that denying access to public records because someone is filming could become a serious constitutional violation. Officers tried balancing both sides, but their focus increasingly shifted toward forcing compliance rather than protecting rights. The hallway became a pressure cooker of legal threats, accusations, and frustration. The auditor warned officials they were opening themselves to civil litigation, while Don Blake accused him of intentionally creating a disturbance for attention. And then came the turning point. Officers directly threatened arrest if he refused to leave. In that moment, the encounter crossed from uncomfortable confrontation into a chilling test of government power versus individual liberty.

[00:16:42]>> Explain that to you. We don't have that's not our the public service aspect of what you're trying to get from here is not us.

[00:16:49]>> But you're enforcing feelings, sir. His feelings doesn't feel enforcing the law.

[00:16:53]>> No, you're not.

[00:16:54]>> If you're asking you to leave, then you have to leave. If you're asking for a form, he's telling you how to go about doing.

[00:16:59]>> You don't have access to a computer, sir. I'm asking >> I am I am asking you to provide me with anybody else. Just because I have a camera, you're not providing me with the form.

[00:17:09]>> I would not do it for anyone else either. So if somebody comes here, they don't do open records requests any procedure every other citizen has to go through under law. There's a new law that describes exactly how you're supposed to do this. I don't >> and it's not coming to the county clerk.

[00:17:23]>> No to do an open records request.

[00:21:10]>> If that's the ch If that's a choice you make about not leaving the building, then yes.

[00:21:13]>> No, I Sir, you're not being very clear.

[00:21:15]I just want to be clear and I and I comply with all lawful I comply with all lawful orders.

[00:21:19]>> That is a lawful order. You're ordered to leave the building.

[00:21:22]>> So, you're trespass Can I get a trespass notice?

[00:22:31]>> 2583600. You can ask for Lieutenant Sal.

[00:22:34]>> Lieutenant who?

[00:22:35]>> Sier.

[00:22:35]>> Salar. Great. Lexington PD making a big mistake here, guys. Telling you, big, big mistake.

[00:22:44]>> As the confrontation reached its peak, the auditor finally complied under threat of arrest, but not before making it crystal clear he believed his rights had been violated. All right, guys. This wasn't just about being removed from a building anymore. This had become a public spectacle exposing how quickly constitutional rights can disappear when officials decide they simply don't like being recorded. The auditor accused officers of enforcing feelings instead of laws, while police insisted they were only maintaining order inside the facility. But what happened next shocked everyone. Once the footage spread online, public outrage exploded across social media and independent news platforms. Citizens questioned why a peaceful cameraman documenting public spaces was treated like a criminal. And then came the ultimate fallout. County Clark Don Blake announced his resignation. One camera, one confrontation, and one viral moment became enough to end the career of a powerful elected official under intense public scrutiny.

[00:23:40]>> No problem. We We'll have somebody take care of you as well.

[00:23:42]>> We I don't want to talk personal business with you.

[00:23:46]>> So, do you want to come back later? We have no idea who these people are.

[00:23:49]>> Oh, you can take her in the back. create your own privacy.

[00:23:51]>> I just need a letter, a copy of the letter that >> she's literally telling her to leave and come back.

[00:23:57]>> It was 43.

[00:23:59]>> Can I write on you?

[00:24:00]>> Yes.

[00:24:01]>> As you can see, they also already over here have a sign that says it's it it starts by saying as a courtesy, which means it's not the law. So, they want us to be courteous. And it's okay. We are we we're nice people, but we also expect courtesy from from them to us. And it says as a courtesy to others, no cell phone use in in this area. If you need to take a call, please step outside.

[00:24:26]Imagine how courteous is that from them.

[00:24:29]Especially when this this whole operation and this whole building and everything that goes on here and their pet salaries and everything is coming from you.

[00:24:37]>> Good. How are you?

[00:24:37]>> Okay, good.

[00:24:38]>> Are you a police officer?

[00:24:40]>> Well, first of all, who are you?

[00:24:42]>> Well, if you're a police officer, I'd love to speak with you. Yeah, I'll let you know who I am. But are you?

[00:24:46]>> No. I need to know what you're doing here.

[00:25:04]>> I just told you I'm working on a story for news purposes and we have for news purposes and we have millions of people that tune into our platform. So, it's it's on your best uh interest to not >> We're not going to threaten me.

[00:25:15]>> That's not threatening. I'm just letting you know. You are.

[00:25:17]>> No. No. I'm just letting you know you're being watched by a lot of people. I need >> Well, maybe you should. Maybe you should. I'm letting you know we're here working on a new story. You guys I'm not I can't interfere with you guys and you guys can't interfere with me. This goes both ways, sir.

[00:25:30]>> I'm not interfering with anything.

[00:25:32]>> Your employees are Well, I don't really need to discuss my day with you. This is a public building. As like I said, as long as I don't interfere with your business, you can't stop the business and interfere with mine because these videos are being taxed by a lot of dollars. So, you cannot get me to stop my job. We're not We didn't come here to start trouble or anything. So, you may want to educate yourself.

[00:25:51]>> Hostile to >> I'm not being hostile.

[00:25:53]>> We've been more than we've been more than nice and we've been more than nice and humble.

[00:25:58]>> I have I What have I said that's that's not nice?

[00:26:01]>> Filming while we're helping customers.

[00:26:03]>> That's the only problem. Filming cannot be considered uh interfering. So, we have the right. We have freedom of the press.

[00:26:09]>> I'll tell you what. We'll call the sheriff's.

[00:26:11]>> Good. And that's the best thing so that they can determine that. You don't >> need to know. Okay. I'll get it.

[00:26:16]>> Let's see.

[00:26:23]>> Oh, that's it.

[00:26:25]>> Oh god.

[00:26:32]Please don't tell me this is for us.

[00:26:37]Please don't.

[00:26:38]>> He's going like 1,000 miles an hour.

[00:26:40]>> Please don't.

[00:26:46]Oh, he's coming.

[00:26:47]>> You already know what's coming.

[00:26:49]>> Yeah.

[00:26:50]>> Especially when he looks at this face.

[00:26:52]Oh god.

[00:26:54]>> Oh, it's a girl cop.

[00:26:56]>> Oh, she's cute.

[00:27:00]>> Hi. How's it going? Can we have your name and batch number, please?

[00:27:03]>> Sure. It's Bishop 004257. Can I help you with something?

[00:27:06]>> Um, yes. We are work. We came over here in peace, quietly. We're working on a story on a story for news purposes. We clearly explained this to this gentleman over here. The employees are not happy about us filming. They're encouraging uh the citizens to say that they don't want to be filmed. No citizen has said, "Please don't film me or anything like that." Employees are very triggered about our camera and he's very triggered about the fact that we're not sharing much information about what we're doing.

[00:27:31]But in fact, we I did tell him pretty much what what I'm doing. We're working on a new story.

[00:27:36]>> One second. We have We have the right building.

[00:27:39]>> Okay, hang on one second for me. I'll be right back.

[00:27:41]>> What did she What did she say?

[00:27:43]>> She said, "Hang on one second. I'll be >> asked if someone asked us to step out the building."

[00:27:47]>> And we are out the building.

[00:28:03]Damn. Tyrant alert. She came over here, put all the citizens in danger. We're probably going to get kicked out.

[00:28:15]Tirenant alert over here.

[00:28:22]All right.

[00:28:30]>> So, can we can I speak to your supervisor because I I >> Why do you need to >> Honestly, ma'am, they called for some camera guys and we just literally saw you with your siren speeding through the whole town.

[00:28:42]>> But you don't get to dictate how I respond to >> Well, I mean I mean you should know that you should have just told them that it's what >> he didn't stop in Kentucky. The documentary suddenly shifts westward where another First Amendment confrontation erupts inside a public planning department office. All right, guys. Once again, cameras entered a taxpayer funded building and once again, panic spread almost instantly among employees and management. Auditors calmly explained they were filming for news purposes and documenting public interactions, but staff members reacted as though a crime was taking place.

[00:29:14]Calls for police echoed through the office while workers accused the cameraman of interfering with business despite no evidence of actual disruption. What makes this encounter even crazier is how quickly emotions overpowered logic. Employees encouraged citizens to complain about being filmed while auditors repeatedly reminded everyone that filming in public areas is constitutionally protected. Yet instead of deescalating the situation, management escalated it further by summoning armed officers to handle nothing more than cameras and uncomfortable feelings. You see, this is not a This is a public place. We We are not a in a private property. As long as we don't interfere, >> any type of law enforcement act with someone like that.

[00:29:52]>> What do you mean law enforcement act?

[00:29:53]>> Right. But you're trying to school me on my job and I responded to a call for service where you're not even identifying yourself for them.

[00:30:00]>> Well, I mean, do we have the Don't we have the Fourth Amendment? I haven't broken the law. That's what I'm saying.

[00:30:03]We're here working. These videos are being taxed. So, we have the right to be here.

[00:30:07]>> You to identify yourself and you didn't.

[00:30:09]>> That that that's because we rather choose not to, man. We don't have to discuss our day. We nicely told them we're working >> film while we're other people shoulders have credentials. We're not here talk.

[00:30:21]>> Excuse me. You need to get your supervisor here.

[00:30:24]>> Excuse me.

[00:30:25]>> I'm trying to have a conversation.

[00:30:26]>> You're escalating. You're escalating.

[00:30:28]You're escalating. Standing here is speaking.

[00:30:31]>> This lady is >> I don't understand what's going on.

[00:30:34]>> Come here and tell me what's going on.

[00:30:35]>> Sure. Sure. So, we're working on a new story, right, sir? We're more than nice people.

[00:30:40]>> What?

[00:30:40]>> We're working on a new story. We have millions of people that tune into our platform. Okay. We may not look like the average uh camera person, I guess. But we walked in there. We have the right to work in there. We don't we're not trying to interfere with the business with the business whatsoever. So, we're just working on a video, brother. And the lady in there, they all went wild because they didn't want to be filmed.

[00:31:00]>> This is the planning department. What do you guys >> We go to the planning department all over the nation. This is not >> for what?

[00:31:05]>> For news purposes. We're we we have millions of people that watch our videos, sir.

[00:31:08]>> What's your news story you're covering here? We're trying to see how respectful they are and and covering the service.

[00:31:13]That's it. And obvious >> do you need from them?

[00:31:15]>> Well, we usually go and ask for public uh public records and stuff. We're waiting our turn.

[00:31:19]>> What public records can I help you get today?

[00:31:21]>> Well, I want to know about filming in in in in the lobby, first of all, since that's a problem. We have the right there's no policy that says that we can't film in the in the lobby. This lady this lady just cursed me out for no reason.

[00:31:32]>> I apologize for that. I'll talk to her about that. I'm her supervisor. He's her supervisor. So, we'll talk about that.

[00:31:37]>> So, you do agree. What can I help you get from the planning department today?

[00:31:41]>> Well, can you can you get us can you get us to can you get them to respect our right to video record because that's all we want. We're not here to interfere, brother.
