First Amendment Audit - Knox County TN Detention Center - Grade 5/10

- Correction: In this video I say there are multiple Supreme Court rulings that support first amendment audits. I was incorrect. The most relevant rulings are from Federal Appellate Courts, specifically Glik vs Cunniffe and Turner vs Driver.

I didn't even notice til I was editing! Couldn't believe he did that and I stood next to it!
Right! What an idiot.
@@kevindenogla783 I don’t know if idiot is a strong enough term.
Just seems like common sense
That train only runs at like 3 am
Glad to see we have auditors here KPD definitely needs to shape up
Im.just south of Knox and been recovering from a battle with cancer. Send me a sub if you will. I have a few accountability videos and some random content. I have a peripheral neuropathy so I'm battling that disability but anywho I would join anyone local until about March of 2022 when the weather starts to break.
Never a high speed freight train when you need one. Lol
Be safe! And just 4 fun put in a FOIA for the pic that he took and everything related to that picture. All e-mails, sms and so on because even if it is his own phone he is using it as an LEO!
I travel to knoxville often and Im glad to see an auditor actively working this area. Thank you
Subbed!
I'm just south of him and have some content but not a lot due to a battle with cancer. Send me a sub
Let's park on the railway. Dipshittery abounds.
Can’t imagine how stressful it is in the moment. The more you do this, the better you’ll get at it. We should absolutely be able to film what’s happening at prisons. Keep it up.
Officer Parked on railroad track impeding R R traffic. Violation of 1st amendment rights ! Violation of 4th amendment rights ! I smell a Lawsuiit ! Does the prison own the railroad ? Stalkng at its best!
Don't forget to add harassment to the complaint
Welcome to the audit community. Be safe out there!
Just found your channel. You are good,stay safe.
Everyone should be addressing this violation of our rights to the Blount County, TN Mayor, Ed Mitchell... How is it that Blount County is getting away with UNLAWFULLY posting a sign on the front door of the Blount County Justice Center stating that cellphones or recording devices are prohibited? Local policies DO NOT supersede our Constitutional rights!! Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely.
"Tennessee law permits the use of still photography and audio and video recording devices in any trial, hearing, argument on appeal, or other matter held in open court that the public is entitled to attend." It is also our Constitutional right to record anything we can see in a publicly accessible area. This is a clear violation of our rights. FYI- Government buildings are paid for by the members of the public's taxes so we have every right to record anything that our eyes can see in public!!
City or county policies do NOT override the laws or the U.S. Constitution. Every American has a First Amendment right to record in public places, even in government buildings. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” This means that no government entity may curtail free speech and press activities. Photography in a publicly accessible area of any government building is our right. Both the public and the press have a right to record government officials or matters of public interest in a public place. But unfortunately, it is one thing for a photographer to know his or her rights when recording public officials and quite another for security guards, police officers, and government officials to be knowledgeable of or even care about those rights. They are constantly violating our rights. Do a search on CZcams for "First Amendment Auditors" and watch their videos. Most people (even police officers) don't even know what our Constitutional rights are, even though they have sworn to an oath to protect those rights.

You forgot the rules of the game, when he peeps out you say "PEEK-A-BOO"
I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. I'm happy to see someone doing this in our area. Stay safe look forward to more auditing videos. Also since he used his phone to create a public document I would FOIA request that phone info.
I think you did fantastic. You definitely earned my subscription. You are just starting out and will get more confidence as you go. I would have been shaking and stuttering..lol. If you were anxious...you did a hell of a good job hiding it. Those two passive aggressive thugs would have gone hands on immediately if you didn't have the camera. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks for your Activism ❤🇱🇷❤. Much Appreciated 👍
Good see locals finally doin audits...i would like see more of this here..this is 1st time in East Tenn iv seen an audit..thank u for content & standing up for our rights.

Nice work. I hope you come up to eastern KY and audit our tyrants.

You do a great job here. Sure, there are things you "could" have said, or may wish you had said differently, but that comes with experience. I wish we had more in TN. like you. I really like the respectful, non-baiting approach. Doing this, you will NEVER make THEM look better than you. That will aggravate some viewers, but ignore that "sofa wisdom" they spout. Well done !
I'm thankful that there are auditors like you out there...protecting our rights!
Best parking space for the clueless cop. On the tracks. To bad a train was not coming.
Recognizing our rights sent me ! Good job keep on rolling !
You should do an audit in Maryville. Blount County is getting away with UNLAWFULLY posting a sign on the front door of the Blount County Justice Center stating that cellphones or recording devices are prohibited inside the public building. Local policies DO NOT supersede our Constitutional rights!! Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely.

55 8 138 could be challenged, you cant be directionally forced in travel when on public property. But its a good code to know when cops think they can violate rights by saying your on private property or some other tomfoolery just to identify who doesnt suck up to police.
File a complaint for stalking. Jeee sus
RECOGNIZING OUR RIGHTS SENT ME - keep up the good work !!!
Thank you for your work. I would like to share one bit of criticism if I may. I noticed when you think you may have made a mistake or are uncertain about some verbiage, you put it in text on the screen. If you were doing a poor job, that might make sense, but I think you're doing great and the text takes away from the video. Again thanks for your work! I'm very excited to see some auditing in my neck of the woods.
Yo bro. I am just now seeing you here. How's the Dad life so far.
@@tnaccountability7455 it's absolutely amazing. My whole life is changing
@@bckelley90 didnt wanna bother till everything settled in. That's awesome brother. Well be safe. My FB is same name. Enjoy Pops!!
Be safe out there
Oooh they didn't like that u knew the law
I think you did great 🐯 9
Great to see an auditor in the neighborhood. Keep up the good work, look forward to more. Just subscribe.
Glad to know we have audits here these cops do not know the law and if you act like you do they will intimidate you cause the cops here think they are above the law aww it's a new world now and citizens are getting smarter great job bro
Hahahahaha they think just by putting up a sign it is enforceable by law, despite the fact it is not a law and the activity is constitutionally protected activity as is your right to exist in public per the 14th amendment to not be discriminated against or deprived equal protection under the law!
You should audit Pigeon forge Tn postal service on Rena street really would like to see how they respond
Great effort I hope I do as well when I get out and do this the first few times...
It appears you need to file a complaint of stalking and intimidation against the Chief since he was following you waiting for you to make some kind of mistake. Probably the most excite he's had since he discovered sliced bread.
Did he actual park across the train tracks
Absolutely! His whole vehicle was between the crossing signs and his front axle was between the rails! Jump to around 2:40
Recognizing our rights sent me. 🇱🇷❤🇱🇷
Just came over from
We the people
Great video
Do your rechearch before you go anywhere in GIS survey ect
Know you laws for that area
Well done
From west aussie
Looking good, youngin! Very articulate and solid on your law knowledge. Bright future!
Good audit, well done! Keep learning, keep going!!
Nice work! Keep it up
Also, notice the retallitorial "camback" how dare a citizen photograph public information and plate info said citizen pays for. Cops when denied by a citizen a complete bowing down to they get angry because they couldnt control them. They always want what in their minds is a "winning one over on ya" evidently, showing just how unprofessional cops are. You need to get their policy manual and search for personal phone usage, if he isnt in compliants with policy, submit a complaint. Cops are sworn to protect your right to do so and it shouldnt anger them, it should inspire them to protect that activity. Keep a mask around, when they hold cell phone turn around and put it on, deny them the retalliation photo. They couldnt cite or arrest you, so now theyre upset.
Subbed. Recognizing our rights sent me.
You are going to file a complaint against the chief?
Why wouldn't he
You did good bud! You sound like Luke Bryan 💯
I’m from west Tennessee so I’m not making fun lol
Should've parked that Impala on the tracks, how dare that guy park that Crown Vic in harm's way!
I need a line on some really scummy cops. So I can get paid. I need a new truck.
This chief should be ashamed of himself for trying to violate civil rights. Another dumb cop leaving a vehicle parked on train tracks. These cops following him to his car to get his plates & run him for warrants is the best reason to use public transportation or Lyft or uber.
Hope that cop knows that he just made a public record when you took your picture and subject to getting a copy of that!
just give them the one finger salute frequently,,,,freedom of speech.
Any chance you would come audit Rockwood Police Department? Or can refer anyone? I would love to see that. I was unlawfully detained 2 days ago by those Aholes. They definitely need an audit.
edit* you could probably do rockwood city & roane county(kingston) the same day. They just had someone die in the jail last week so im sure u can get some content over there too if u want.
So, im an attorney who just moved to TN so im not familiar with the law. Somehow went down this rabbit hole. How you initially stated your protected activity automatically starts a confrontation and would never be advised. If trying to prove a point maybe be leas confrontational. In my opinion those officers actually handled it pretty well. Im curious though as to how your complaint went as well
Next time, have a different color mask + hat and take off the jacket or put on one when inside your car.. That way when you are driving you look like a completely different person and won't match any description they send out over the radio.
I used to live right down the road from the detention center and I don’t miss those idiots at all...I can assure you that’s not the first time they’ve parked their vehicles on the railroad tracks. Please come do the Campbell County Sheriffs Office in Jacksboro!
Omg. Get with me I would love to. I used to live in jacksboro...i love the area but omg. 😆
There was no good employment there anywhere including laffollete caryville Scott and onieda. I lived in Scott co and Campbell. Specifically on the mtn if you take a right at the big cvs just passed Wal-Mart. Then I lived in Huntsville about a mile before the public man made lake. God's country but no work and total dipchits.
Send me a sub...oh I tell you what I do miss tho....Camping at Cove lake. Even tho there was no privacy due to public accessibility. But its nice to have power at every spot with water and a 🔥 ring. I was there for over a week in 08 when it was 10k degrees for bout 3 weeks and all the high rollers where in their big RV n never came out. There I was being a man in a tent with only a box fan 😆. When I called there in the winter...i had a lil box heater...got cozy n then some clown at the site beside us pushed a green pine stump into their 🔥. I bout choked while they went back inside...i got up n kicked that stinking azz log into the river as wr were in the back where the boats n docks are.. It was fun tho...in 08 as hot as it was even that massive pool didnt help.
Ive never seen another pool that big in my life 😆
@@tnaccountability7455 you just spoke nothing but truth!!😂 It definitely doesn’t offer much in terms of good employment so I drive to Knoxville for work which sucks especially with gas prices rising. I love the outdoors though and the views up here are hard to beat which is the only thing keeping me here right now if I’m being honest. I used to love Cove Lake too but it has become so overcrowded it almost ain’t even worth it anymore. Some of the law enforcement officers up here really seem to operate under their own made up laws vs actual laws which is why I made the comment so I’ll def sub and would love to make an audit happen just to see how they react😆
@@Amandaskeen87 id love to come up n visit the area again. I'm almost 2hrs south in McMinn Co. I worked at the dang Sears store there in that strip mall on the right coming from the exit.
Im basically at the foothills of the South end of the smokies. So I have amazing views also.
Another thing. About 3 miles onto huntsville rd exit to the left into a valley I used to see elk everywhere. I made pics but lord I have no idea where that phone went to. 😆
It probably be round March of this next yr before I get a chance. I been battling cancer n for now in remission but dealing with peripheral neuropathy from waist down. Was in a wheel chair for 4 months cause I was basically dead. I couldn't do anything on my own n got down to 98lbs. I'll just have to talk my lady into putting up with a lil trip n might camp out at Cove lake for a night or 2. I'm sure the cost has doubled. At the tine i think it was like 14 bucks a night no joke.
That statute only applies if you are getting a ticket, it says nothing about being detained or arrested for a crime.
Should've asked the Chief if he was going to issue the Lt. a ticket for illegally parking your taxpayer funded police vehicle on the R/R tracks? Actually I believe that is a federal offense to do intentionally and could be considered an act of terrorism. At least that would be the charges brought against you if you had parked their.
Add 11 minutes and 15 seconds with that car following you stand behind the tree make him drive up to you go to the other side of the tree, make him back up, don’t make life easy for them. They wouldn’t treat you any different if you had a gun, that camera is scary to those people. This is what it’s like when people acquiesce to their commands and you didn’t. LOL
Excellent journalism
Well done 👍 great audit sir
I went out there, driving around.
I do the same thing you do. 👍
Yes, stopping on the railroad crossing is stupid, dangerous, and illegal.
numerous supreme court rulings determined that recording from public is protected? Can you name a single ruling from the supreme court that says as such?
Glik vs Cunniffe and Turner vs Driver. Both were Federal Court of Appeals, not Supreme Court. My mistake!
@@EastTNPoliceStories no worries. I wondered if I missed some recent SCOTUS rulings. I shouldn't have been so accusative in my original comment. My apologies
Zoning doesn’t relate to ownership.
Since that pig took your photograph, it's now public information and you can FOIA request everything on that phone. All his photos, emails, call logs and text messages.
You ever done Sevierville county audit?
Ill be calling station tomorrow on him impeding traffic with no emergency, or overhead lights activated. All to retalliate against a law abiding citizen. Start posting their name, badge number, and station phone number so viewers can hold them accountable easier. Audits dont stop at just this, we have to take action. Record requests, complaints, and calls. Please allow yourself to call a supervisor out to prevent the stalking to lead to running tags illegally violating 4th amendment with no probable cause, hours to be able to go somewhere public and hide for a while with change of clothes, hat, glasses whole new identity. I am excellent at stealth if youre ever in my area I would be honored to join you. Be safe
Keep learning Patriot 👍🏽
And, the Lt parked his car on the railroad track. Now the Chief will exhibit his intimidation asshole mode to make sure you know he is watching.
Where are the trains when you need them?
😂😂😂
I certainly was hopping for a train to come through there but that doesn’t look like it’s a mainline because it just has signs that say railroad crossing.
If I can offer any advice it would be to not ask them if things are all right with them or can you do certain things that you already know are legal don’t ask their permission or don’t ask them to agree with you just do it or walk out to the public area which is what you should’ve done dragging them along with you. I think you have promise, more than many people I’ve seen on CZcams. Additionally very excellent video and coherent audio with good command of the English language. Vulgarity is not necessary I know in the heat of the moment sometimes it slips out but it doesn’t get your point across any better.
Your Safety is not his concern. He said that cuz hes a Tyrant.
They clearly have never had this before…
Everybody who's gone thru drivers ed. Knows you don't park or even drive slower than necessary, across railroad tracks. Cops sure are stupid.
should have placed a call about suspicous activity with that one stalking you the rest of your stay
2019 Tennessee chapter 13 title 39 code 39-16-604 might want to read it
a) It is unlawful for any person to solicit, accept or agree to accept any benefit in consideration of refraining from reporting to a law enforcement officer the commission or suspected commission of an offense.
law.justia.com/codes/tennessee/2019/title-39/chapter-16/part-6/section-39-16-604/
I don't understand what you're saying.
if you want some encounters with officers that have little to no training and need some education then come to tazewell .. new tazewell and maynardville tn.. just north of knoxville
I think your time stamp is off on the camera. No way this was 737p?
The timestamp is off and my settings were messed up for resolution on my body cam. Didn't catch it until I was sitting down to edit. The shots without timestamp are my phone's camera. Practice makes, well, uh, better hopefully! Thanks for the feedback!
Any time they start following you like that you should automatically turn around and go to the main office of the facility. Turn your camera off of course since they do have the sign which means on the other side of the sign not the side you were on. Ask for the supervisors and a complaint form. File a formal complaint for harassment of a citizen that has not broken any laws. Also tell them that if they continue to follow you that you will sit outside the facility and take video/pictures of every person, car and license plate that enters or leaves the facility. If they still follow you after that call the sheriff and report them for stalking you. Also do a FOIA request for the report that they should have filed and all pictures, phone records and dispatch tapes. And in some states if they ran your plates without a valid reason that is another complaint. Not sure about your state.
Well that was 14 minutes I'll never get back...
Cry us a river. Nobody held a gun to your head and made you watch the video.
What a idiot parking on a rail road , great teaching the first amendment, stay safe retired lifeboatmen uk
I don't know why, but it still surprises me how deeply stupid these "public servants" are, lol. Not knowing the difference between private and public property.
What content? The only content came from the commercials!
Take Uber when you’re being followed.
you're supposed to in the building for an audit i think...
Man I spent 6 days in that place Maloney rd.
I am in Chattanooga,Tn and it has a ton of bad cops both city and county.
Left his car on the tracks. Seems there's a vid. out there where an arrestee was in a car left on some tracks? Guess the fuzz thinks lightning can't strike twice.
I like your video. One thing I would say to you is don't go into any property even to look at a sign close up, even if they allow you. Some cops will try to trap you and arrest you for going onto their property
You can go ANYWHERE you want. If you are somewhere you are not supposed to be, they will ask you to leave. If you dont leave, cops come and ask you to leave and give you a tresspass warning. Then if you dont leave, they can arrest you. Nothing matters if you were invited onto their property at any time before or after warnings. If you were given a tresspass warning for that property, what would happen if you were legally taken there? Would they be violating their own warning?
You just have to be careful n not do so if you have been lawfully n formally trespassed prior. Like when i was at wal mart. The bish said I need management please after giving me some bs claiming i need people permission to video them in public as I was videoing parking violations (fire lane blocking/parking violations. Its in my videos. Was the first time I had ever done so. I don't sugar cost things, give in, kiss ass, cater to feelings and I dont cower to threats.. That may not be a good thing but I'm not scared of anything or anyone. The only thing I fear is my savior. That said I rather keep my servants accountable during their duties n not try to entice them. Reason being is tbh I will defend myself n they will lie n claim my 2nd isnt applicable to invoke and put to use against my servants. On my mothers grave I'll posture up n eat a bullet takr a beating or give one. Makes no difference to me so I tend to sit back n try to keep from any contact cause I refuse to be nice to a tyrant that I pay to honor their oath to that constitution.
But yeah they can't lawfully arrest anyone for trespassing without formally informing them they have been trespassed...yet if you do at that moment and you refuse and do not leave and or come back...then you can be arrested for what is still a hogus arrest simply due to the fact no crime was committed per supreme court justice law of the land ...no victim of loss harm or damages..then there is no crime or victim to face in court.
That would arbitrary arrest kidnapping and fraudulent blackmail gor a ransom for your release from felony captivity n caging.
Thats the facts but americans hate freedom and constitutional unalienable rights.
man wheres a train when you need one?
The training of LEO's is horrible. Jail tyrant is parked on the railroad tracks. You are lucky he didn't put you in his backseat.
bro please keep doing this knoxville needs it so so bad. and plus on top of that i love to see the ones that are 100% pricks and really try to be bullys like the guy whwo parked on the tracks, get worked up n mad cause he knows your in the right. Unfortunately, if you were inside that facility, I promise you he's a very, very disrespectful and one of the first ones to try to put their hands on you like or trying to bully people scaring them with whatever threat he can make. He's a real piece of shit. Honestly I've dealt with him a few times unfortunately not proud to say where I was at when I did, but those are real piece of shit. And I'll be 100% honest I loved seeing that maybe that's wrong with my part but can't help it.
Everyone should follow this Facebook page so that you can really see all the shadiness going on in Tennessee. facebook.com/crookedtennessee/
Over a year ago an auditor had a scooter it got 32 miles on one battery charge he had purchased an extra battery one time the cops fallowed him until he almost ran out of battery on the second battery driving all around town trying to loose the cops so he could get to his car
For not answering any questions, as you stated, you’re answering a heck of a lot of questions...?!?
You don't get it do you
Do NOT drive your own car to an audit. You're asking for it. I'm honestly surprised as soon as you got in your car and took off, they didn't pull you over and write you a ticket for some chickenshit charge.
Ride-sharing services are pretty sparse in that area. But next time I reckon it'll be worth the wait!
12:12 Hey dummy. It's called patrolling the perimeter. While you walk around likeva Ninja Turtle.
