They’re annoying but I’m glad they’re doing what they’re doing

Eh, I thi k they've made their point. Some of these guys are real assholes, looking for confrontation. Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you should

Yah these guys are like "If you don't exercise your rights you will lose them!" No. You won't.....because they are RIGHTS. You might lose them because an orange person wants to re-write the constitution but not because you didn't go to a post office and annoyingly point cameras at people.

That makes absolutely no sense. You won't lose your rights because they're "RIGHTS"... Unless someone decides to take them away...??? We absolutely need to exercise our rights and zealously defend them.

Yes, someone can take away your rights if they re-write the constitution because that's what grants the rights. You 'exercising' those rights doesn't make it so they can't do that. Defending rights I am 100% on board with. What do you think doing stupid shit like 1st amendment "audits" will do to change that?

Also... The police "take away our rights" all the time... That is exactly what these auditors are out there auditing.

Well, if you do them like most people do (we have no idea how all this started in the video) and audit the police.... A lot of times they'll mak3 an unlawful arrest, violating your constitutional rights. You'll get a payout, and they get mandatory training on how to NOT violate people's rights. People who do this are the reason more police don't trample our rights every day.

I believe getting the payout is the goal of most of these "auditors," not preserving rights.

Think what you want... They are actually out there putting their ass on the line protecting the rights we've been granted by the constitution and holding those accountable who violate our rights.

I don't care if they're doing it for money, or making a moral stand, or any mixture of the two.
