stroke around it was added to the video by gcn good citizen news was at the marion county courthouse attempting to obtain records request forms because he was filming the state officials employed there called the local sheriff's office to respond one of the interesting things about this incident is the local news publishing a small story about it the story claims that the government offices

give that information away he is wanting some public record request forms i don't understand what he's asking public record request forms ma'am we don't have any public record quest forms okay so i just uh if i wanted to get public records from the assessors or property office you'd have to know the property the name of the property so i'm bringing just like okay so i just bring a piece of paper with written down like the stuff that i want so he wouldn't get any taxes you have to supply us with some kind of information okay you have to supply us with like a physical address yeah or something like that okay our paperwork is by mount parcel okay so would this be the place i would come to if i wanted to get like flat maps for the county flat maps yes we give those okay yes we do how much are those they don't cost you anything they don't oh you're recording us yes ma'am put that down and we'll talk older wall circle we don't want to be recording why are you recording this i always record building public buildings and stuff like that i don't understand the reasoning for that well i mean you're free to come in and talk with any of us we want to but i mean are you going to put us on the news or something though yeah i'm a journalist who's four myself i'm a citizen journalist are we doing something wrong i mean i mean that's that's not up to me that's up to the people who view this but well i'm not going to answer more questions we're not going to ask anymore your question sir okay that's fine can i get your name uh no okay you mean okay gcn was extremely well mannered but eventually because of the cameras marion county sheriff's office responds how you doing how's it going in batch number yes sir what's pro uh a name inventory please before uh my name is uh tyrone greene okay badge numbers 402. what you got boss i'm just taking a video on a public building why is that because it can oh is it landing on you no do you okay can i see it have it broken the law uh those are you haven't but okay now i don't need to show you how i do you look like you're shaking sir i'm getting a little antsy let me tell you what's your name sir i'm not going to give you my name why's that cause i don't want to okay one of those huh i wonder what this is a constitutionally protected activity it's not illegal you even said i wasn't breaking the law yeah okay then i don't need to provide you with id just because you're a public servant have to give id doesn't mean i have to okay where are you from sir i don't answer that question am i detained or am i free to go oh you're free to go okay then if i'm free to go on for today i'm not gonna turn i don't have anything that's better no accident too okay waste taxpayer dollars huh very rude you're very shaky are you on something i don't know sorry i'm gonna first hurt you oh you've searched me okay put your hands up search me search me you do want to go hands-on what is wrong with you sir do you have an issue do you have anger management issues i don't have issues you seem like you do you're very shaky i'm calmer than you are right now i'm very cool no you're not yes dude you were shaking i have it on video shaking you were you were when you were standing right here you were you were like dude i'm getting dancing i got that on camera too that's fine you got whatever you're talking about yeah i have not been disrespectful to you well you've been trying to get my id you're telling me i'm not breaking the law so that's you know a little confusing i don't you know you know just because you're supposed to ask people for that doesn't mean you should and um you know i don't mean have to they have to give your id either are you a lawyer or anything i don't answer that question that could be you running the body cam you running the body cam uh no sir i do not have my body okay why not oh my body cam's broke um uh here the gentleman from the office tells the officer that gcn has a gun or at least something in his back pocket it's a very dangerous thing to tell a cop who appears agitated and admits to feeling antsy over a camera gcn has not been threatening or aggressive in any way regardless concealed carry is not illegal in tennessee with a permit and as of july 1st 2021 anyone over 21 years of age can conceal carry in tennessee without a permit now typically courthouses are gun-free zones but it's rare that states will un-infringe the rights they've taken from you so i felt it was worth a mention none of that matters though because gcn is not armed how's it going good you're running body cams yeah you're about your own monkey okay cool i've got mine running too awesome where's officer graham he's in that room over there you're not going to tell him to find out what he was doing oh okay i thought you told him that you were gonna find out what i was doing what's your name well i was gonna ask you the same thing cash deputy cash what's your badge number one zero nine okay is it illegal to film in public i'm not really sure i don't know honestly i'm not gonna tell you wrong no i can i can tell you right now it's definitely not illegal taking taking video on a public building you seem you seem pretty cool so i'm not gonna be shitty with you when tyrone came up here very aggressive like straight up asking for my name asked me for id you know all that stuff you know if you come off like that to people you're gonna get the same thing look i'll tell you the same thing i told them in that room i'm just doing a video i told them same thing downstairs i'm a journalist taking video for a story there's nothing illegal about coming in the building in a public building that's publicly funded and taking video it's constitutionally protected just like it same thing same thing as if i was walking down the sidewalk want to take video of people's houses or whatever businesses there's nothing illegal about it just because it spooks in people doesn't mean it's illegal so did you identify yourself to him no but you do have to identify yourself no i don't know i have to identify myself if i haven't broken a law and he told me i wasn't breaking the law so we'll go off whatever he tells you there it's his call we're just here to assist well sheriff's department has jurisdiction over him we don't jump over our city officers oh okay where's your department located anyway right straight i'm not oriented so that would be the front of the building well honestly upstairs so i'm kind of figuring out where i'm at that's why i'm like because if we if you're looking this way to the right okay all right awesome it's the justice center yeah and just so you know i don't have anything on me yeah they were trying to say that i had something in my back pocket and clear you can see there's nothing in my back pocket i don't have anything i just have a belt on i'll lift my shirt up just to kind of give you a visual there's nothing there you know a story for myself i'm going to say this in general so you're okay you're not you don't work for like mary kane those are news channel 9 no i work for myself employees yeah well actually i don't i'm that's the wrong terminal i'm not employed um i do this for fun okay so what's the story gonna be about i don't want to give that away kind of just ruined the you know i'm saying the integrity of the story if i give it away now the deputy asks if he works with news channel 9 as do many officers to validate the authenticity of an auditor as press this mindset not only ignores the first amendment it's just a ridiculous notion newschannel 9 has an entire team of journalists producers writers videographers and editors with full funding from abc their youtube channel is over 10 years old and has almost 15 000 videos however they've only earned an eighth of this channel subscribers and only a third of the views i'm not trying to put down their efforts but comparing citizen journalists to mainstream media platforms is ridiculous as cable television is slowly dying off gcn has a polite conversation with the deputy for a few minutes until deputy green returns with some news sir you're gonna have to exit the building they'll get ready to shut the courthouse down what time they close they're closing now why because it's time for it to shut down so okay all right well do does it matter where how i get out of here or do you want me to take a specific direction since you're forcing me to leave or yeah that makes you feel better you can say i'm forcing you to listen well if i don't leave my courthouse it's closing so i'm gonna have to go okay so as i said before which way do you want me to go whichever way makes you feel because i'm kind of got my back up to the wall right now i mean y'all are taking up the only egg way of uh exit so can i go to this do you want to take stairs and take that over there whatever makes you feel better about it okay cool i'll take that out if that's cool you have a good weekend thank you yeah sure i'll let you go sir no worries no just gotta cover my ass a little bit you know right sir have a good weekend y'all too y'all too seriously y'all guys be safe i know it's a hard job as the article referenced earlier the courthouse was shut down almost 1.5 hours early just to get good citizen news out as they had no reason to trespass or remove him man i got all the cops out here today huh yeah you know i'm sure you're fishing not really i told him i said i make friends with the deputies and officers i have friends i have friends in a lot of places man that are cops that's good you know but when people act like you if you had to act like him man this would have gone a lot different well that's fine but uh you want to come in all shaky and i want to disrespect you yeah how do i do that the way you came in man i heard you talking to him too i'm not stupid i mean that you're looking pretty disrespectful i can be okay well i can't you can't that's the difference between okay all right that's the difference between you and me it's just how i choose to do it yeah well there's a difference but i'm gonna break contact with you well thank you i greatly appreciate it yeah you have a great day don't beat your wife when you go home sir i probably will i figured gcn stuck around for a while and recorded the sheriff's vehicles they would proceed to follow him walking through town over the next hour until he finally left the area without further incident gcn had another channel but it was taken down if you enjoyed this video be
