My email inbox blew up this weekend after a nationally-known First Amendment auditor on Youtube, @LongIslandAudit , posted a video of his interaction at a courthouse that is local to me, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.
Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/lYQwF8ASyLg
People have been asking for my take on this video. Given the fact that I have an office a stone’s throw away from where this was filmed, I’ve been in that courthouse many times. In fact, I was first sworn in to practice in West Virginia circuit courts in that very courthouse.

Yes, and where did it go?
The part that just burns my buns . When are we going to get to a place where Law Enforcement Officers know the laws they are enforcing?.
How many more innocent people are going to be harassed arrested and prosecuted for legal Behavior?. How many times is this exact thing going to have to be decided by a court? This exact subject has been decided and is settled law 500 times over. Are we going to have to have another 500 and then another 500 and then another 500 after that?. When does a law become a law when does a right become a Right, ever?.
you would think in a township, court house, pd where you work would know better
Imagine the people living in countries where you can be arrested for cussing out a government employee or making fun of them. You can't get more tyrannical than that.
LIA is the best auditor out there.
Thank you for clarifying.
Does someone riding a bicycle need to produce ID to police when asked.
So how does it feel to see the people you work with being so ignorant and tyrannical????
"Deliverance" on steroids.
You can not deam a constitutional protected activity suspicious or otherwise a crime. great video 🇺🇸
2:49 Spaulding! Get your foot off the boat. 🛥️
You did nothing right. Coward
Awesome job it clearly shows that was money very well invested(to become a lawyer 😬👍”
Sounds like the State of WV has fully embraced the latest management system prevalent in all aspects of our society today where nobody takes responsibility for anything, but all have authority over anything and everything they choose. We are a failing Empire. Bloated bureaucracies are a sure sign of that supposition.
Love you and love SeanPaul at LIA ….my two favorite civil rights channels – hope you end up repping him – would love to see those videos across both channels
Given a great opportunity to shine and show how professionals interact with the public. They failed miserably and showed what a waste of tax payer money they are. What a embarrassment to themselves family friends department and city absolutely no professional integrity or character
Ha ha, @7:38 you said Do Do! I know I'll let myself out.
There is a key issue with these 1A audits. Why is it so difficult to find a positive interaction with public officials at all levels of government but specifically concerning is the law enforcement aspect. We can not grant powers of arrest to individuals that don't have a firm understanding of the Bill of Rights. Officer safety is a blanket excuse used to justify officers misconduct. Our government was not structured for citizens to answer to government employees. Government is not self sustaining, we fund all of it. Those in government must understand where the money in their paycheck comes from. Some people get upset when they are disrespected by individuals paid by taxes taken out of their paycheck.
I’m reminded of stories from folks a generation older than me who worked in mental health in Grant County. Law enforcement in WV used to be notorious for rounding up what they termed “vagrants, vagabonds and hobos”. The power play from law enforcement was: “You don’t belong here and you aren’t allowed in this county.” Sometimes this involved an escort or ride to the county line.
WV befuddles me at times. We love to proclaim mountaineers are always free, yet a helluva lot of us are absolutely servile to perceived authority and uniforms.
There is still an air from a lot of local sheriff depts ‘their’ counties are their little fiefdoms.
The modern nazi uniform is a USA police uniform.
As a fellow West Virginia Hillbilly, I appreciate your videos. As you may agree or may not, not agree, the lower the perhaps, educational history of a human plays such a role in defending rites. I applaud you 10,000 % for advocating for civil rites. I speak of knowledge here in WV. TY. Your channel and most of these audit constitution channels are truly educating people to their rights. It is a wonderful thing. TY so very much from the bottom of my heart.
As I read up. I see judges has jurisdiction in a court room and surrounding area of the court room they are in control such as court room, close proximity hallway and joint room pertaining on the courtroom other wise the court house is a public building and judges can NOT rule entire building out of there courtroom. any judges try to do so is violating 1st armament and also over step there authority and power. I believe the court rooms being used at the time should there be signs saying so and do NOT enter this area but auditor may continue else were there is no court being held. there is NO expectation of privacy in public including public building. also how can city council forbid 1st amendment videoing in public building pass. can they be hell accountable for this?
I love watching LIA..he's calm..respectful..i did see the original video..I saw the one's he did in Connecticut..court cases..these tyrants got away with to much for a long time..they don't like it now that they're being held accountable..WE THE PEOPLE WILL STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS…
All these auditors gets an F. Period
All "traffic courts" are Administrative Hearings!
Do not consent to Administrative Hearings!
My fantasy is interacting with the police officers that neutralize the Uvalde mass shooter. How would they come across at a traffic stop? Would they also be chicken shit ego maniacs or something different that we need to promote. Not hand sanitizer first before I engage..
Freedoms are scary. People get scared easily by others excercising their rights. Sad.
It’s not a police state it just looks like that
All of them should be fired/forced to resign at a minimum. SOP police state behavior. How do people have any respect for this stuff is insane. Our system is completely irredeemable. 😮💨
Cardinal Rule: ALL cops are violent, arrogant scum with NO notion of the law who act on their very, very tender FEELINGS.
It is a simple constitutional issue. There is an unambiguous right to film what you can see while in public, which includes the public spaces at government facilities.
I just subscribed because of Long Island audit video.
I will never live n WV
Can I watch both of these channels. Cross over. Awesome
You have a place in my prayers.
Love this man!!
Law enforcement does not care about the constitution or the law, as they make up their own laws.
Law enforcement are felons with guns and qualified immunity.
I keep asking for someone to show me one good cop that has never broken any law or violated a civil right, in any state.
No one has done that yet.
San Bernardino, California, Joshua Tree courthouse neesa an audit
I know cops are corrupt everywhere, but it seems like West Virginia has some of the worst, most corrupt law enforcement in the country. The entire state needs to scrap its system and start over.
Geezes… this entire police department needs investigating…
…and especially that female Maegan Hall wannabe.
Clear as day how she got her bars.
Auditor's would have a field day in Charles town.
Hysterical! You just knew them good ole' boys from West Virginie were going to mix it up with a damn Yankee from New York, no less…
1A auditors have a right to do what they're doing but god some of them go too far. A friend of mine had a run in with one and he's been after them for months trying to destroy their life and buisness. The 1A auditor failed after the Auditor's criminal record, including kid diddler, came to light. I will never trust that a 1A auditor is being genuine.
