🚨First Amendment audit, Everett WA: Man films outside multi-branch military recruiting office in a strip mall. Army recruiter calls police. Officers confront him, then solicits the nearby Petco manager to issue a trespass. He walks down the sidewalk again and is arrested for 2nd-degree trespassing. Charges later dismissed after... he argued news-gathering rights and that a single tenant can’t ban someone from the entire shared property. 🚨During second audit a year later the Marines called police again: 👮‍♂️This time police told recruiters filming was legal and left him alone. ❓Shouldn't police officers know a single tenant doesn't have the authority to trespass someone from an entire strip mall? ❓What's the solution? More training? ❓show more

These guys who harass other people with cameras, legal or not, are straight up losers

The solution is more auditing, which will inevitably lead to more training. This is one the citizens, collectively, must force the change. We all need to use our cameras more often while in public spaces.

Cops rarely rely on some weekend ‘training’ class with fake certificates. Cops rely on HARD lessons learned on the street, command discipline, & harsh hazing from their brothers in blue. YOU pay the price for all of the half truths & bullshit stuffed in their little heads.

Nothing's more of a threat to the public than the ego of a LOW IQ cop.

I want my tax $ to pay for cops who work harder than this...on real crime

You can’t film, however, you may shit in the street, shoot drugs or commit any other crimes……feel free…….

This doesn’t look good @EverettPolice

Only the shopping center property manager or owner can ask them to leave. The tenants all have their leases for their lease premises not the common area which is typically managed by the property owner.

I think we have lost all respect for authority in this country and idiots like this are why!

This is Everett in a nutshell. Its gone full woke and the police are a big part of the problem

FICKING POS COPS! All need to face Judgement and be charged with capital Felony Treason!

Here is a fun fact. It takes less qualification to be a firefighter. Nothing against firefighters. We have our least qualified enforcing laws they can’t even articulate.

The Agitator has nothing to do in life but annoy people. It's how it helps to grow his Penis when he takes a stand. Of course he seeks a lawsuit and possibly $$. This way a real job isn't necessary.

Say it on camera “so you’re gonna a solicit trespasses” If they say no? Then why do they have to go talk to other business. As usual, they don’t get their way, they make a big deal out of it.

It seems like this guy's just harassing. If some of the tenants didn't want him there why didn't he just leave.

Is there a polite way to say officer eat a bag of dicks?

There’s got to be actual crime going on during this entire thing, crazy they wasted this much time following a guy around

The solution is that these jackasses with cameras leave people alone

The Marines called the police. That’s just unbelievable and ridiculous.@USMC babies

Bootlickers have engaged with me on posts like this. I've engaged back. Eventually they block me. Right before the block they cuss me out. Morons do not understand that we are slowly losing the Constitution to local, state, and fed law agencies. Agencies aren't trained or care.

We give authority to men and women to take citizens freedom away and put shackles like a animal cops should know the law perfectly and constitutional rights applies if not we live in a society of tyranny

He was warned numerous times. The cops aren’t “thugs” they’re just doing their job and he was playing games with the cops. He deserved to be arrested.

Everett is full of corrupt pigs, I don’t even like driving through there on the freeway. FUCK THE POLICE

Some of these so called Auditors are a pain in the ass.. they get in the shit on purpose just for clicks ..

This is an interesting exchange. I wonder if a single tenant can trespass. The really bad situation is when property owners provide trespass authority directly to police. I'm not done but this is a decent audit.

Can the policy officer solicit a trespass?

Shouldn’t police have to pass a test to prove they know the constitution before their issued a gun a badge and immunity. Doctors have to pass a test and get licensed before they can do their job. Cops don’t.. but one saves your life And The other one can take it.

Lawsuit against the cops for not knowing the trespassing laws, and the 4th amendment violation, and the 1st amendment violation, and the way that cop was soliciting a trespass on him and thats against the law.

I don't understand why you idiots with the camera want to always cause trouble like you know the law and like you are entitled to something if they don't want you filming in front of their establishments, regardless of what you say, then f****** leave, Just Causing trouble

I feel these audit asses don’t do this to excercise their rights, it’s mor to just annoy the shit out of ppl

Its fucky how they escalate everytime. Every fukin time. They try to get you to incriminate yourself.

@grok did this guy sue

It is illegal for police to solicit a business owner to have anyone trespassed, he could easily win a lawsuit against the officer, department, & city 💯

If I can't see your eyes I'm going to take that as a threat!. So what if your eyes were closed. What if you were blind and you were wearing the glasses or you were just wearing dark glasses. How does that officer still have a job?
