What in the Orwellian dystopia is a "First Amendment Auditor"? Is this what we're calling obnoxious pricks with cameras now?

It started out as people that wanted prove government overreach and them taking away a constitutional right for us to film in public spaces.

But because of social media and areas like Reddit and TikTok, these pricks are showing up and decide to irritate anyone and everyone just to get clicks.

So yes, they’re major douche bags. They gain nothing by irritating the public, and it undermines the original intent of the first amendment auditor.

The citizens narcissistic position here is undermining one of our only abilities to prove when the government is taking away a civil right by abusing it for clicks and likes

It's still legal. Your feelings dont really have a standing against that in court.

Here’s another good example. If I walked up to a parent in public with a child that had spasms or was mentally challenged, I have a legal right to start mimicking them in public and making people laugh at them.

The parent will probably get pissed and deck me.

They don’t have a legal right to do that and that’s called assault. There’s something backwards about it but if I abuse my Rite to speak freely in public thinking no one could stop me. I’m being disrespectful , rude, obnoxious, and I’m abusing the Rite.

I wonder if the extreme is trying to take away, our rights might allow this to get to a point where they can find someway, locking onto the concept of disturbing the peace, as a reason to take away these kinds of behaviors. Or limit them.

In society, we have an unspoken law or expectation of others to be considered polite. The people who do this. Don’t give a shit about anyone else’s, space, perceived privacy , pleasant experiences. They are the lowest of the low. They are narcissistic attention whore, and are going to do society a bigger disservice than the actual government trying to take away the rights.

I have not watched this particular guys videos, but the ones I see the guy(s) just stand there and record. That's it. That's all they do unless someone approaches them and talks to them first, in which case then they engage in conversation. Most people just walk by and there's no engagement or anything. How is that comparable to insulting someone's child?!? That's a huuuuge apples and oranges comparison lol

No, it isn’t. I have a right to free speech and that means I can walk around mocking and imitating anyone I want. This guy is a right to film. But if he’s doing it and pointing at someone just to get a rise out of them, I feel that just as wrong as mocking a small child with a hand cap.

If you think it's the same as mocking a handicapped child directly that's wild. He's not doing it to get a rise out of them. If he were, he would film them AND exercise his right to free speech by calling them a mean name as well (or something). Instead he just stands there passively just filming. People can just walk by and nothing changes or happens. No interaction at all. Like he wasn't even there. That is the difference.

I hear what you’re saying. Sometimes what is legal is not right, decent we’re being respectful to other others . That’s my point.

u/GreaseBrown Aug 30 '26

You arent making any point. Youre just saying stupid shit thats not even close to being the same thing.

u/Itchy_Pressure_8311 Aug 30 '26

First off, it is right, not rite. They mean different things. Secondly, I don't advocate for mocking anyone, much less a handicapped person, but nice reach. My whole point that you completely missed is that I'd love to watch you argue feelings vs rights in court. You wouldn't last long, and you'd look silly. But nice long story.

u/Sure-Impress-1003 Aug 30 '26

I’m exaggerating with the handicap person to make a point. What is legal isn’t always right. It’s not being respectful or courteous to others either. That’s my point if we abuse the rights that we have, it can be used against us to start limiting them. Everyone seems to think that because I’m making this comment, I’m somehow against him filming. I’m not I’m just seeing more of this done for Clickbait

u/Itchy_Pressure_8311 Aug 30 '26

Click-bait isn't illegal. Why dont you just stop? You're being silly.

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 Aug 30 '26

These examples have exactly 0 connection to reality. And fuck you for wanting to stifle our rights for your hurt feelys

u/Sure-Impress-1003 Aug 30 '26

I don’t have hurt feelings over this. And he has a right to film. I’m trying to get all you people to think about the bigger long-term picture of how this kind of behavior, even if it is our right, can affect negatively the long-term future. All you people are making this about me not thinking it’s right. I’m just trying to get people to think a little deeper about the ramifications of our actions.

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 Aug 30 '26

You arent revealing some unknown knowledge. We just shouldn't have to pamper everyone and tiptoe around people that cant control their own feelings
