Oh, he was >> Austin was clearly upset and asked the police not to return to his home, saying the whole thing was absurd and had been taken too far. The police made no commitment, saying they had no control over other agencies. The incident represents an erosion of trust in the system. Next, a citizen walks into a government office to ask about the government and is immediately kicked out because of a camera. I need to uh contact the Nassau County Department of Information Technology. >> I don't think that's a fair assessment of what happened. >> Hand it to >> I'm sorry that you couldn't get that done before without us coming here, but we'll kind >> The man who ordered my arrest was standing before me, but this time I had both the law and the camera ready. >> What's going on today? >> Oh, nothing.

It's snuffy. >> But you won't. >> You think so? >> I know. So you won't. >> People who talk about it don't normally act on it.

The video exposes the lack of accountability, abuse of power, and lack of transparency in a public system. Despite being arrested for his legal actions, Shawn continues to act as an auditor to expose these violations. No one in the public system has been prosecuted or held accountable for wrongdoing. 3. We have one in custody >> for what charge? >> I haven't harassed nobody. There's no harassment. This is very >> a satirical sign. An unjustified arrest. Blatant abuse of power exposed in broad [music] daylight. >> Record. >> Record this. >> It's being recorded. >> You can get a copy of it, guys. What are you charging me with? >> I'm going to discuss it once we go over. Okay. >> You have identification on you. >> Yeah, we can walk. >> A pro police group asked their opponents [music] to give up parking space, quietly drawing battle lines in public space, a clear sign of rising tension. Hey, is it as your group gets a lot larger and everything like that, can we just ask you guys to park over here so we don't take up the whole parking space? Not that we're going to have a mad rush of people coming in for police business, but >> you never know. >> You never know. >> Cuz the uh your counter group might be here today. And >> hey, man, thank you for setting this up. No problem. >> Appreciate it. >> There you go. >> How are you? Good. >> How are you? >> I'm well, thank you. Uh, >> can you explain where your where your your sign is? >> Yeah, we support the police. >> That's not supporting the police. >> Tensions flared when a satirical [music] sign appeared. Though legal, police still asked the protester to leave, revealing a biased handling of public space. >> What are you talking about? >> You're saying we deep throat. That's inappropriate. >> Why? >> I don't even know what that means. But >> if you don't if you don't deep throat the boot, then you don't support the police. I'm going to ask you to to move that down then if you would because that's not what we're about. We're not we're not having inappropriate signs. If you want to go down that way and do that, we certainly can. >> See, they're honking at my sign. >> Yeah, I need you to go down there. >> All right. >> Could you please go down that way?

We're very offended by this sign. >> Why? >> We're very offended. >> We're standing outside there. We're supporting the police. We've asked to have not appropriate or offensive signs. This individual has inappropriate signs. He's not supporting what we're doing. We've asked him to please move down away from our area so that people are not confused with our signs with what he wants to do. He's within his rights, but he needs to move further down and not harass individuals who are exercising their first amendment. >> Oh yes. >> Okay. Thank you, >> officer. We're very offended. >> The supervisor is coming up and we will speak. Okay. >> I would just appreciate if you want to wait here, [music] >> you want to wait outside you guys together. >> All right. Well, I'm going back to the protest. >> It's not a protest. So, >> it's not a protest. Sorry. It's a rally. >> We're here supporting the police. >> Your sign says otherwise. So, we'd ask you to please. >> If you want to go back across the street, sir, you can go back across the street. >> After the sign, filming escalated tensions. [music] Despite breaking no laws, the protester faced police pressure. A clear sign of bias. from where our guests are gathered for police support. Okay. And his sign is also inappropriate. We do not want them to be confused with what we're about to be done. They've refused to do so. >> Is there a reason why you cannot [music] move and give them their space and you can have your space and you can display your sign? [music] >> I mean, no, there's no reason. >> Oh, okay. So, you'll help us out with that. Thank you. >> And also, I appreciate that. >> They were not recording our individual guests individual recording. And if they want to move further down out of the way, that's fine. We've done that for previous. You're not allowed to record, >> huh? >> I'm pretty sure you're recording right now as well. >> I'm pretty sure it's against the law. >> What's that?

I didn't think they were here yet. >> I'd ask him to move down further because we Lieutenant Bonuchi, we had our first event. How many? >> No, no, no. That's further down. >> That's what we're preferring everybody to do. So, >> so if you could just make sure that that woman right there also recording, she's recording our people and now they can't even stay there and just pull >> uh Oh, who's >> and he's got an inappropriate sign. So, I don't want him to be confused with what we're doing. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Hey, look. >> Come and talk to me. All right. >> All right. We've asked you nicely. You said you were going to go down there and stand. Okay. >> But then I decided >> Yeah, but you but you're you're But can you >> Makes perfect sense to me. >> Yeah, but why why are you doing this? That's what I don't understand. >> To support the police. >> I know, but you're not. But they've asked you nicely. I mean, is is there a reason why you cannot move down and show your sign down the sidewalk or >> No, my opinion is is I just assume shut the whole thing down >> unless you're going to allow him to stand here. >> But we're not we're not going to have him disturb. >> Tensions peaked as the protester held their ground in sign. With persuasion failing, police [music] shifted to force. But I want to hold up my sign supported individuals and you're recording. I'm just trying to stand my ground because a lot of you have to say anything and then you say well I can do >> I'm going to ask you to leave as we've done for other events down >> that's fine. >> No I'm not moving down ask you to move down. >> No no I mean I've experienced >> the nice officer has asked you to move down. You said you would get by indoors. >> So, I'm going to ask you to either move down or or to leave. Okay. Take your pick. >> The floor is covered in sand. >> I'm going to ask you to leave. Okay. >> You're asking. >> Yes. >> Down the sidewalk. No, I'm not going to allow you to cause a disturbance, guy. And that's what you're doing. Yeah, you are. So, you know what you're doing. And I've asked you nicely to down there. You're not with this group here. You're here to antagonize. So >> I'm gonna ask you nicely. >> And I are good friends. >> He does. >> All right. What's it going to be, guy? You going to move down or I'm going to escort you off? >> I'll stay right. >> Are you ordering? >> Yep. >> Is your vehicle here or >> what? >> I'm going to escort you to your vehicle or I can escort you inside. >> No, I'm You're going to arrest me if I don't leave. >> You causing disturbance? >> I'm not causing any disturbance.

After failing to force the protester to [music] leave, police made an arrest. Despite no clear disruption, the individual was handcuffed [music] without being told any specific charge. >> Record record this. >> It's being recorded. >> You can get a copy of it. >> What are you charging me with? >> I'm going to discuss it once we go over. Okay. >> You have identification on you. >> It's in my car. >> Okay. Can you grab his identification, >> please? >> Where? Where'd you say it was? >> She said it's in his car. >> In your pocket. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, we can walk. The police arrest showed signs of violating free speech, [music] abusing authority, and bypassing proper legal procedures. Can domestic policy [music] be above the constitution? Right here, the controversy broke out when the people dared [music] to directly challenge the police. >> Officer Garcia told us that was unauthorized. Only authorized people could both go back there, but [clears throat] we didn't see any trespassing signs or anything like that. My question, >> did you get uh educated today, sir? >> Not at all. >> Come on, dude. >> There is not even a no trespassing sign.

The video clearly shows the [music] police officer's lack of knowledge of the law, mislication of policy, and on the-spot re-education by citizens. This is a classic example of soft [music] power abuse, where the police attempt to limit constitutional rights, but cannot justify them through legal process.

Do you have identification? >> You just would answer a word. Can you tell me where the property line starts?

When the Miranda rightites were read, the police thought they had closed the case. But it was the arrestee and the person filming who raised the big question. Who really broke the law?

[music] And more surprisingly, he declared a citizen's arrest on the spot. and their [music] concern is about their concern is about like um patrons here being on film and not one patron has been shown on this film just the employees. So we will wait for [music] the police. Um and that's an unconstitutional sign anyways. No cell phone use in this room. That's okay though. >> You got to put your phone down. It's not filming. >> Is this a public place? >> No, it's not a public place. This is a private place. Correct. >> Okay. So, this is not funded by the public. >> No, it is not funded by the public. >> It's not part of the federal building. Massachusetts building. So, it's public property.

I said to you before that it's all right for you to film, but if the people that you're filming say to you that they're uncomfortable with you filming, you have to abide by their con. We have confidentiality. >> Well, a second ago, you just said it's okay to film as long as they give you permission. >> It's okay for you to film someone if they give you permission to film them. Film them. >> So, you're saying I need a release? Uh, >> you are filming our staff and you do not have permission. I'm I'm telling you, >> you're in a public place. There's no expectation. >> For example, you're filming me right now. I don't want you to film me. I'm asking you to >> then you shouldn't work in public. Are there cameras in here? >> Yes, we do have cameras. >> The issue is transitioning from cuz the Malden police are going to teach you a very valuable lesson today cuz I've filmed them. They're going to teach you that it's okay for me to do this. [music] So, how this was going to end is >> So, you have the right not only to film me, but also my voice. >> The wiretap laws were repealed in 2018 and they were found unconstitutional. >> Okay. Well, >> the police showed up, but instead of dealing with the attack, they discussed [music] the right to intrude on a citizen in a public place. Was this a blatant [music] abuse of power? I went into a public place. I exercised my first amendment right to film in a public place, in a building that's publicly funded because there's no expectation of privacy in a public way. Um they did let me know that um they didn't want to be filmed. Um that it was against the law to do so. I appreciate her >> on the street. You're okay. I don't know about inside of >> with Yeah, I've filmed Malden PD and the Secret [music] Service. Um it's a constitutionally protected activity and I'll be happy to provide you with that camera footage.

I actually don't have it on me, but I'll be happy to give my information for the purposes of this police report. Auditing America, Accountability for All. We've done the Malden PD, >> the Secret Service. It's a constitutionally protected activity to be able to film inside of a publicly funded area. If I went into your house, that'd be covered under the surveilling act. >> Like you can record me cuz I'm a police officer. >> Yeah. And I can record her because she's paid by the state. >> Yeah. I don't know. You have to be you have to have to be dual consent in Massachusetts. >> No, the uh the wiretap law was repealed. >> Nice to meet you. How are you today? Hi, >> my name's Kevin. Nice to meet you, >> Kevin. Pleasure to meet you. I've been to your station before. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, thanks for coming by. You're welcome anytime. >> Appreciate it. Um, this officer has taken a report. Uh, [music] none nothing this woman has said is untrue. She said she didn't want to be filmed and she didn't give her consent to do so. Um, I politely let her know that it's my constitutionally protected activity to film what I can see in a public way. Uh, public ways count as publicly funded areas because you you know what I do. It turned in from something where it became a first amendment audit to where this gentleman on film and I'll provide the footage grabbed my phone and after he grabbed my phone I this gentleman here >> your side of the story >> y >> and we would uh solicit any information that would uh clarify what went on. >> Absolutely. >> So I mean as you know we're just here uh to make sure that everybody's right. The conversation heated up when chief declared, "You are no longer allowed to be here." And the auditor [music] challenged, "I am willing to go to jail to prove this." Yeah, >> because this is wrong and you're not a policy officer. You're a police officer. >> But but what you're not doing is affording the good people who come here to do a job. >> The feelings don't trump my rights. Here's what's going to happen. You won't be able to charge me at disorderly conduct because I'm not being disorderly. That's right. >> I mean, that that can be accomplished. >> We can be we can get that let's get that accomplished. Are you saying that it it is your >> as the person in control of the building that based upon >> these facts and circumstances that his presence correct is not allowed on the property? >> That would be correct. >> Okay. >> All right. So, I need um so that you're considering this a legal notification of criminal trespass. >> I am telling you that this person here is in control of the building. >> Yes. >> Okay. Unless I have business and I can have my legal department provide you with one in >> Yeah. So, I think I need to be provided one before it can be enforced. >> No, actually, no. She has verbalized >> unless I have business cuz I need to get an application for transitional assistance today and the business cards of everyone here. So I would consider that department of transitional assistance business. >> We can certainly give you an application but we will not provide you with >> Well, you just said thank you. So now that you you've said that I can't come in because I'm filming, right? Okay. So we're violating my civil rights. Got that. But if I have business, I can go inside. So I'm going to go inside and I'm going to get an application for transitional assistance. Well, if I'm only being trespassed for >> unless I have business, that's business. >> They'll get you the the application. >> Well, that's business now. >> No, but you stated that that was your intent was to get an application. >> I'm being trespassed if I don't have business. Now I have business, right? Filming was my business anyways. But now I'm making this my business. >> And they're going to get you the application. >> Well, I can go inside and get it myself. >> But you don't have >> So this is real time. So if you arrest me, the camera footage is not going to it's not going to get parlayed. But if I can do this to the Secret Service, I can do it there. So, you're telling me under threat of arrest, right? But if I go in there, so what happens if I go in there to get this application? >> Well, right now the person in charge of the building has told you that you were trespassing. >> Unless I have business, which I've now stated I have business. So, if I go in there, all intents and purposes, if I go in there right now to get this application, what happens? >> Well, I I would hope that you wouldn't uh >> Well, I'm going to So, I'm asking you what what the what's going to happen when I do? >> I'm telling you. >> Climax being kicked out of a public building [music] just for filming. The auditor couldn't take it anymore, sarcastically saying, "Your job will be mine." The response left the whole room stunned. >> I don't know. You haven't done anything yet. You You >> I haven't But I haven't done anything, but I'm trespassing. So, if I haven't done anything in um >> So, what crime did I commit here today that I'm being trespassed? >> Okay. >> The person in charge of the building is the one. >> And what was she upset about? >> I don't know. Why? >> So, passing the mind. >> You can't Well, she told you. I got it on film. I don't want him here anymore because he's filming. >> Okay. So, I appreciate it cuz you're you're helping her violate my constitutional rights. So, here's what I'm going to do. >> I don't see it that way. >> Well, you guys are going to get a call to come back here, right? Cuz I'm going I have the right to peaceful protest. Maybe you should give him a call. >> You know Doug Scorano? >> No, but I know Terry very well. Very good lawyer >> cuz they're both my attorneys. >> Yeah. Good. Good guy. Good friend of mine. He always will. He's a gentleman. He's a very zealous advocate for his clients. It's one of the things I admire the most about. Well, you know that he >> it's so fundamental to our system that a lot >> you can't uphold the rights that you think are right and then then turn your head to what's wrong. >> Again, I'm justify it however the hell you want. >> No, but you seem to be twisting the narrative. I >> That's what happened. I filmed. She didn't like it. She trespassed me for filming. You're upholding it. >> You're trying to act like this is unscripted. But >> we sit down in production before this. >> It's obvious that you don't want to hear answers that don't support >> I don't want to hear un unconstitutional answers from tyrants. You're disgracing the people and your family ought to be ashamed of you. Ought to be ashamed of you. I don't think so. >> I'm I'm pretty sure you're glad they repealed prohibition so now you can go home. >> The accused employee was only given a written statement [music] and was not immediately arrested. The auditor was charged with trespassing on public property, a decision he believes is completely unconstitutional and will certainly be overturned in court. The video ends with the auditor standing firm. Next, a road is supposed to be public, but just minutes later, this man is warned that he is entering an absolutely forbidden area. >> I am denying that request until I am ready to go. >> Um, again, what's your name? >> I'm not going to give that. >> Okay. Do you have warrants or some sort of reason why I would not answer that any further than that? >> When he asserted his right to film freely, the police suddenly announced, "You are under arrest." But on what charges remains a big question, partner? >> Not giving that out. Okay, hold on there. >> Am I being detained? >> You are. >> For what? >> Uh, well, this is government property. It is marked as correctional facility and it's marked as no trespassing. >> Uh, there was a no trespassing sign on the woods, nowhere else. >> Okay, sure. So, um, so I'll I'll need an ID, please. >> That's not going to happen. I haven't broken any laws. >> Okay. Well, we're not you're not allowed to be here. So, just so you're aware, and I'm just going to let you know what's going on here. This is a correctional facility. The facility is on lockdown because of your presence here. Okay. You cannot be here. But it's not public property. >> And again, nowhere is that marked. Nowhere is it marked. >> It is. >> First of all, they have a visitor center up there. Yes. Which makes this a public access road, >> which means that if I can be on it, I can take pictures from it. >> Okay. So, I I believe and I can't I can't say with certainty, but I believe they have visitation times. >> I'm interested in taking pictures. >> Okay. And they asked you to leave >> and that is what I'm doing. >> Okay. But I think you've been here for quite a while. You don't know what the time is? >> No. >> Do you have a time on your phone? I'm currently recording. >> Okay, that's fine. Um, just having a conversation, but >> took a walk, taking some pictures. >> The reality is is when you've been asked to leave, we have the responsibility to leave. And this is a correctional facility. This property is owned by the Northeast Regional Corrections, >> which is owned by St. Louis County. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> This is listed on the survey map as public access. >> Okay. >> See those telephone poles?

I've stayed to this road. >> Well, I'm asking you to leave now. So, if you can, let's stick to the public access. >> The confrontation escalates. Citizens assert themselves on the legal street while the police insist on turning it into a correctional facility. Who is right? Who is wrong? >> Okay. So, why are you asking me to do something I already told you I was doing? >> I'm just reinforcing that this is the idea we're trying to drive towards. Let's get off the property, please. No. No. You and we all of us, we're all going to leave the property together. >> I'll go when I'm ready to go. >> Okay. >> I believe I have every right to be here. >> I am I'm I'm afraid it's not your choice.
