Do some quick Google searches for phrases like “First Amendment Auditor Arrested”. And don’t let your confirmation bias deny there is a two sided argument.
Yes, there are some bad police out there. It’s a sad fact that over and over again some that have a badge and a gun prove that they really have no business being in that occupation. The idea of a First Amendment Audit is to catch a government official in the act of denying your constitutional right to free speech. Some police react badly to this. Really badly. Like excessive use of force that cities need to pay damages for legitimate harm to the auditor badly.
But take a step back before you decide to join the lucrative world of First Amendment auditing. There’s some problems with the method that law enforcement over time has caught on to. And with effective training, the desired reaction is avoided.
FAA’s invariably call themselves journalists, which they aren’t. A journalist would seek out a story, not attempt to manufacture it. The purpose of an FAA encounter is to provoke, record, and disseminate the video content to your YouTube channel. There you can declare yourself right all the time, get enough arrogant and clueless folks who hate the police for good or bad reasons to donate to you. And if you’re lucky also pick up enough subscribers to get a couple ad revenue bucks.
Gematria is very easy to spin the decode into whatever narrative you want. And somehow, every gematria decode is supremely negative. There is no honest search for truth, the evil empire idea is a foregone conclusion. An FAA video is a foregone conclusion. There’s no point to it if the audit passes. They are prank phone calls with a live action twist. Why bother a public official on the phone when you can harass them face to face? And disrupt them enough to get police to arrive at the scene?
A common trick is to force the narrative at a place like a post office, or even the DMV. When the FA auditor arrives he will do something like give a quick video clip of the poster 7 content to verify it is actually a real post office. Meanwhile, we think more honest auditing would have the entire poster be presented fully before each video. But that shows the official government rules on disturbances and things you can and can’t do on government property.
At a minimum there’s loitering as the auditor lingers around until sufficient provocation occurs to generate a reaction from employees and innocent bystanders and the police if they get called. Like gematria forcing the evil numbers to appear, the setting is nudged to get an immediate emotional reaction from those that don’t understand that it’s all about the grift behind the maker of the video.
I’ve seen FAA videos that range from very believable they just might be legitimate from a misguided maker to ones that follow the standard format of harassment to achieve the desired reaction to one’s that are pretty clearly staged where an accomplice is playing the role of the innocent bystander. The first one is rare. The last is less rare, and always have innocent “postal customer takes offense to being recorded and magically mentions the First Amendment within his first three sentences” kinds of stupidity. Although there’s some cojones involved (like Zach showing up live at OKC or New York for 911), you are going to want friendly fire instead of an actively pissed off opponent who would rather punch your lights out instead of waiting for the police.
And the badassery can pay off. If you have die hard sovereign citizen personalities looking at similar content, you can get them to bail you out! And you could even spend some time in the pokey, request donations for bail and…keep them! Good luck finding a normal job after you find out that YouTube isn’t really that profitable for you. There are cases of FAAs with multiple arrests on records. This is more of the kind of thing a cult leader encourages his loyal followers to do than actually engages in himself too much. Let the subjects take the rap for the death threats you incited.
The same way that there are scam baiting videos of hackers going after the robocalling, gift card loving scammers there are auditors of the auditors. These can be a bit lazy, since the video content is uploaded by the FA auditor and just repurposed to support the anti FAA narrative.
The whole FAA thing is just another facet of the crowd of people that assume constitutional rights apply to themselves but not others. That somehow their right to own a gun outweighs the right to others not having their kid shot a school. That their free speech is more important than someone who just wants to go to the post office to buy a fucking stamp instead of waiting half an hour for the police to deal with the guy that knows the poster documenting he’s not allowed to loiter is in the lobby. The crowd that WILL get vaccinated because they don’t have to show proof and can scam others by selling Ivermectin, because that’s the world we live in now.
