1st Amendment Audit Auburn, Indiana. Police and Sheriff building 

This is an embarrassment to the State of Indiana.

Cop: 'I'm a very reasonable person with a lot of common sense...' ...but you don't know what a public sidewalk is! hmmm..... common sense, not so much.

these guys continue to show how ill-informed, dumbed down order followers. these cops are a danger

I’m an attorney, and I’m very impressed with this lay person’s knowledge and application of the law. Love this video.

Isn’t it amazing! Something as simple as a camera can draw the Tyrants out!!?

They are like dogs chaseing their tales !!!! No matter how stupid they sound, they just keep going

County property? Of course it's county property, or city property or state property because it's a PUBLIC SIDEWALK. But ownership is moot. It's a sidewalk designed and intended for the PUBLIC to use, so you can't be told to leave unless the area has been closed to ALL of the pubic.

Anything I say can and will be used against me in a Court of Law, but never FOR me! I Love that statement!!! Lol He had no reply to the statement at all.

It constantly blows my mind how inept cops are. This guy had no clue. He started back tracking and double talking the second he finally figured out this guy knows the law. Something HE should know, but so obviously doesn't.

The good sergeant has a total right to ask questions....but he has no right to any answers....facing that glaring reality was what was driving his attitude....which completely subsidized his god given right to look foolish on camera...

again. I'm the one asking the questions.... power tripping

Acting suspiciously ?? , out in the open, in broad daylight ,no attempt to allude, hide or run away ??? That describes every person out taking a walk in any down town area and photographing things. Trying to trespass you without knowing where public property ends and private property begins .....just wow!!!

He is so lost in his ignorance.

The greater suspicion is the cop.

My father is a retired police lieutenant. In the 70s, when I was a kid, he used to pick me up from school in his patrol car. Oftentimes, as we made our way home, lots of people would wave at my father and say, "hello!" I always had the sense that my dad was a very important man and extremely well-liked. Sadly, these days, very few people like or respect police officers. The abuse of power and the constant violations of the public trust has forever tarnished law enforcement's image. I wish they would get back to serving and protecting, instead of harassing and intimidating.

5:35-40 Cop - "They called and said they think it's suspicious." Indiana - "Is that a misdemeanor or a felony?" Cop - "That's terrorism."

Cop: "How do I know that you're not going to use these pictures for something illegal?" Response: "Unless you have a reason to suspect that I'm committing a crime, then you don't have RAS of a crime and can't detain me."

9:00 (TO PARTNER) "Did I call him a terrorist?" Yes, you did. At 5:39. "That's terrorism."

evasive..... they love trying to enforce authority

The officer has no common sense

County property is public property.

Another good job.... you stayed level-headed... no gutter language...

He wasnt there to investigate. Solely there to make an illegal attempt to trespass you from public property. Everything else out of his mouth was trying to back paddle his abusive of power.

"Do you think i came out here because I have nothing better to do?" Yes, 100% that is what all of us think.

It's interesting to me how differently people react to a camera, especially people in a position of power. For years I've watched the influence of auditors in places like Florida, Texas and California. Slowly, the knowledge is seeping into the mainstream. Then, some auditors started popping up in New Hampshire and Oklahoma. Finally, we have new, informed auditors popping up in Hawaii, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. (I mean credible PINAC Patriots, not attention-whores who bait cops) The precedent has been set. You will make a difference. It will take time and lots of patience on your part. Pls keep filming, your work is helping to shine a light and open their eyes. I appreciate your efforts to keep me, and my children, free from a total police state. (I've seen such places first hand.) B smart and B safe. Freedoms & Rights not exercised are Freedoms & Rights soon lost.

You can always tell when a cop has been owned by when they defer to their little microphone and pretend that they're saying something important.

this officer tries to demean and belittle you trying to educate you on being "reasonable" but everything he is bringing up saying you might be a terrorist and he wants you to leave and one second the land is not someplace you are welcome then a second later you are welcome and he keeps jumping all over the place with this logic, all these facts would suggest its the officer who is struggling with what is "reasonable" and he's the one that needs the correction...

''Again... I'm the one asking the questions'' ... How's that working for ya ??? lol

Awesome!!!! "Please, escort me to public property"!! Well Done, Sir!! " I was sent out here to investigate something, I don't know what?" You , Sir know your stuff!!!

That cop changed his attitude pretty quick.nice day isn't it. Lol

Outstanding audit! Hope to see more of your work.

That cop NAILED IT because if someone was planning to "blow up the jail", I'm sure they would record it in BROAD DAYLIGHT and risk getting I.D'd by the police! That one smart cop right there..........FBI here he comes!

Wow! Just wow. This is the type of officer that hurts the profession. This isn’t just doing his job as he implies. This is the definition of an asshole.

They just hate a citizen who knows their rights. Loyalty hand signs.

Cop was just doing his job when he approached to investigate. But then exceeded his authority the moment he refused to give his name. Then showed his ass with ‘I’m the one asking questions’.

"You're on county property" .... so he was attempting to trespass you from an entire county ??

No, I am asking the questions....hahahahahahahahah awesome!!

I wish I could have stayed this calm and collected when I had my run in with a bad cop.

verbal jujitsu.... are you trying to intimidate me

"Ve vill ask the qvestions!"

The police always end up looking so small and petty in these videos, and that's exactly why video is so powerful. They think in terms of what verbiage will sound best when read back from a transcript, while acting rude or condescending. The public gets to see the whole story, a clear and irrefutable window into the amount of disdain that government has for citizens. Great job!

"oh lord oh lord oh lord". What was that?? That was great he even mentioned you're paying him to do a job. Good job man!

Where would county and public property be? Great way to flip that to him. He is an awful cop, you were the hero here. Great work. Actually, this was exceptional and you kept your cool very well which is HUGE. Sad that they always assume the worst, as they did here. Never answer questions in audits.

These audits warm my heart, they really do..

I love how this guy just owns everybody he comes in contact with!

"How do I know that?" The best answer to this question is "you don't!". THAT'S FREEDOM DUDE. You might _sometimes_ not know what someone is doing, and that's a GOOD thing.

Once you said fifth amendment right he understood that one. Hahaha

5:30 "suspicious male" lol there are a lot of "suspiscious males in the jail" gold

"I'm going to kindly ask you to leave the property of the county of DeKalb". Did he just try to through you out of the county? In order for you to comply with his "request" you would have to leave the county its self. You were standing on a public sidewalk where the public is allowed to be regardless of your occupation. He just wanted to be right and in charge.

Indiana news .............you are the mmmmaaaaannnnn!!!!! Cop got shot down!!!!! Lol

7:15 “I am a very reasonable person, a lot of common sense” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 People with those qualities do not claim to have them....just saying

You. Must do a return, to see if HE does this again.

Doesn't it go a lot smoother if you stop harassing people who aren't doing anything wrong?

"I'm asking the questions here!" Intimidation, FAIL! Whah-Whaahh!

I'm guessing your college educated? assuming and presuming. this cop would be easy

God i love your tone !!!!! Keep up the good work !

at the end you should've asked the Cop were you still on private property or was that just a FLAT OUT LIE!!

I've watched this three times over the last couple years you are amazing and spot on thank you Indiana news

Pretty good. I think you let him slide on telling you to leave county (public) property.

Love watching you work, I’ve watch this episode a few times and enjoyed it every time! well done!!

Lmao.....Im asking the questions here. What a jokester

I love the "how dare you" phrase he uses in his audits. He uses it in the right momento and is very agressive without being rude.

cop is a power jerk

Indiana news This audit is epic and educational for us and the public officials, you guys are not changing the country but every single individual step by step, one at the time ...keep doing a good job and God bless you

That is the kind of dude that prob beats his wife for the fun of it. Then he probably says "you see how easy that could have been. I didn't want to beat you but you didn't do what I said."

Thank you for your important work. Exposing taxpayer-funded tyrants is hard work. You handled it so well.

Awesome video. Best I’ve seen in a while. Great job

I can’t stop watching your videos. They’re fantastic.

Haha “I’m asking the questions” that’s so cliche I didn’t even know cops (being as dumb as they are) said that

Him lying to you from the jump tells everything about this officer, he is a BULLY It is a protected activity no questions need to be asked officer. What does this officer not understand and he is the SGT, save us all. Not answering questions does not make one guilty!! GREAT JOB ~!

nice job sticking up for your rights... you didn't ask if you were being detained. and at least the cop didn't demand your ID

Good exchange ! You and the officer were both quite articulate. My only suggestions: Emphasize that you are not being uncooperative or evasive, but merely asserting your rights... And that the SCOTUS has specifically ruled that you can't criminalize being suspicious.

Investigate is different from INTEROGATE

Indiana News is by far my favorite auditor..I wonder why he stopped doing audits..wish he would start again.. please, come back, Indiana News!!

"Suspicious Activity" is an adjective in a sentence which any other word could replace it like your acting goofy in public. As a professional Law Enforcement Officer ask them what exact law are they trying to enforce because being suspicious is not against the law. Your RIGHT's do not outweigh his needs! When being questioned by a bully with a badge just ask them what your 5th Amendment right is? Over all an awesome audit, cool as a cucumber.

God bless you. Got theirs of you auditors for you kidding me the public for bringing to the attention of all of us the people what our rights thank U thank U thank U

Dont be defensive. Always attack.

I absolutely love your videos. You the man when it comes to this Audit stuff. Much love!!

The tyrant says that he is a resonable person! LOL

Indiana news I think you are the best I love your work keep it up I learn a lot from you Thank you.

beautiful

That cop or his supervisor should be fired asap. County property is not public? Terrorist activity for filming a building? Suspicion is a crime? God and they wonder why people dislike cops. They don't know the Constitution, rights. Thank you for upload!

Another dumbass COWARD with a badge who thinks the Constitution is a fucking joke. I hope you have a lot of photographers come to your shitty town and take some pictures. The piss stains on this pussies pants, at the sight of a camera, tells us all we need to know about this lying badged douchebag! Time for an open carry so we can see him shit his pants!

Always remember cops and criminals are afraid of video cameras!

verbal jujitsu..... you were better

I really love how any building older than about 80 years is classed as very old in the USA. It's such a different mindset to here in the UK where they would need 500 years at least to reach the "very" stage. Sign of a younger, maybe fresher, country.

LMFAO!! SUBSCRIBED WITH THE BELL!!!

Ask the officer "are you conducting an investigation?" If he answers "yes", ask him "am I the subject of your investigation?" Regardless of what his answer is, just tell them, "I'm not obligated to assist with your investigation and will not be doing so".

😂😂😂😂Earth!!

Mr. Indiana News, I'm New to your Channel and a Subscriber out here in Central California. I must say you handled that encounter very professional. Keep up the good work and be safe.

what a Jack was. who is the county?

so the cop wants to investigate a Constitutionally protected activity being conducted by a law abidiing citizen, with no "Reasonable Articulable Suspicion" nor any "Probable Cause" of a crime being committed. Just how ignorant can one cop be on the law? Any criminal investigation "MUST" be connected to an "ACTUAL CRIME" or "CRIMINAL ACT". Without these two things there can be no "Legitimate Investigation". It becomes an unlawfull "fishing trip". You should demand to see the Cop's fishing license. When the officer continues to force himself upon you and interrogate you against your consent, that becomes harrasment. It is also impeding you exercising your first amendment right to gather information by filming in public. There had been no report of a crime. He did not witness a crime upon his arrival. Thefore any conversation must be consensual. If you dont want to be bothered by him...tell him you donot consent to any conversation with him and demand that he leave you alone. Do not ask him....."DEMAND: that he leave you alone.

attempting to enforce opinion

Masterfully handled. I love sharing your videos because you comport yourself professionally and you shine a positive light on this movement so that the public can see it's not all about trouble makers trying to bait the police. Thanks for all you do

I live in auburn wish I would have seen you I would have bought you lunch or something I like what you do

Thank you for what you do, standing up for OUR rights and help all of us to be free ❤️

Duhhhh cop go duhhhh

He said:Doesn’t it go better when you’re cooperative, in other words:obey me and it’s OK everything’s cool, if not then I’m going to make a fucking bad day for you 😂 😂😂😂😂😂 LoL

County property?

“ Beautiful building” “ it’s very old” “Yes” Hahahaha I legit lol’d at that
