First, MOST public employees are entirely ignorant of the law. It's basic freedom of the press & you have ZERO right to privacy in public spaces. Cops especially , given their ego, control & violence pathology, THINK they know the law.

If you're not familiar with 1st amendment auditors, here is a few links to get an idea what they do:

1st Amendment auditors are people who film in public to test the government's fidelity to law. They are part of a political movement that advocates for 1st Amendment rights, which include the right to record public officials & employees on public property.

How they operate
1st Amendment auditors typically enter public property, film, & ask questions without identifying themselves.

What they're testing for
They are testing to see if public officials will respect their First Amendment rights.

ACLU advice on what to do:
If a govt employee encounters an auditor, you can try to have commonly requested documents ready to limit the time of the encounter. You can also refer the auditor to a FOIA officer to request records.

The U. S. Supreme Court has recognized a "paramount public interest in a free flow of information to the people concerning public officials." Other federal courts have found that the 1st Amendment freedoms of the press & speech protect the right to film in public spaces with one stating "A citizen's right to film government officials, including law enforcement officers, in the discharge of their duties in a public space is a basic, vital, and well-established liberty safeguarded by the First Amendment."

My 2¢: EVERYONE should know their rights. Period. Most people's interaction with LEOs is traffic stops. PLEASE print this guide for what to do if you are pulled over. It's essential.
