Chapter 1: What is the role of a First Amendment auditor?
Chapter 2: How do police officers handle citizen encounters?
It's been over 20 years now, 21 years.
What do you do for a living?
Well, traditionally I'm a server bartender and I've done that for about 30 years now. I've been with the same company, which I won't reveal because trolls on the internet like to harass, but I've been with the same company coming on 17 years now. And I built such a relationship with them. And they're a top 500 company. They are a big, big restaurant industry.
And, you know, I've worked with them so long and so hard. And my boss understands my work ethic that I pretty much make my own schedule now. So he'll text me and he'll say, can you work? And that's how I work now is he texts me. Are you free this day to work? Because he knows I go I go all over the country doing this.
So, you know, I could be in South Carolina tomorrow or Texas next week, you know, so.
OK, so what what happened? So. What happened that you got into doing the, like, is there a story behind how you, you just open up TikTok and say, that's for me.
You know, years ago, about 10 years ago, I was surfing the internet and I came across Sovereign Citizens, right? And they had this thing where they said, you know, oh, you're licensed and It's all capital letters and all this other stuff. So I told my wife, I said, you know, I said, baby, I said, in six months, I'm throwing away my license and I'm throwing away my tag.
I said, I'm driving down the road. Well, six months came and I realized I'm like, you know, some of these guys, what they're saying is not altogether true or it's not getting them the results they want. So I started... Met a lot of those guys in prison. Yeah, I started reading law myself and, you know, I would pick up
uh law books from thrift stores or you know um i downloaded pdfs online and um it helps that um since the seventh grade around the seventh grade i was reading about 500 to 800 pages a day and i could retain about 70 to 80 percent of it Now, at that time, it was, you know, nonfiction. It was, you know, Hardy Boys and The Three Detectives by Alfred Hitchcock and stuff like that.

Chapter 3: What are the consequences of refusing to show ID?
And so now I'm using the LG Wing phone. I use that. I use a 360 camera. I use a body camera as well, one that goes on. I do have a GoPro. The problem I found with GoPro is that they overheat. There's only about an hour time of recording.
Right. And also... If you've got three different ones going.
Right, right. So it doesn't matter. And then one other issue I had, which I didn't realize until I was in the middle of an audit, was my GoPro 7 is voice activated. So once it's powered on, I could say GoPro start recording.
Right.
GoPro stop recording. Right. Well, one day I'm in the middle of an audit and this lady says, you need to stop recording. Beep, beep, beep. There goes my GoPro. I'm like, you're out. You know, I can't use you no more. So I stopped using that. And one of my subscribers bought me a I think the name of the thing is Bob Love. And it's a it's a great body cam.
It goes about eight hours, has about eight hours recording time. And it's never failed me. It's not voice activated. I turn it on when I'm ready and I turn it off when I'm ready. And that's worked wonders for me. The body cam, even the GoPro, when I did use it, saved my ass.
Right.
Yeah, because one time in Dothan, one of the lawsuits I'm involved in right now, They had handcuffed me and my buddy, whose name is Bad Cop No Donut. And they handcuffed us and they made us sit down. They took my recording equipment, but I still had my GoPro on. So I was like, GoPro, start recording. And we sat there for about an hour. The GoPro caught it all.
And it's instrumental in my case right now. Right. Because they illegally searched us and, you know, such like that. But... Yeah, I mean, I advocate for as many cameras as possible.
