Fellow Patriots & Freedom lovers, This is a Never Before Seen Audit was from about a year ago. The video was on the camera that was stolen from me by the Waterbury, CT Police Department a year ago. It’s funny to see how my style has evolved over time…Now Please be sure to hit the like button, it truly helps spread this around for more Patriots to see it and I appreciate it! – Long Island Audit _
Lots of ridiculous people in this video, making up laws, getting angry at the law abiding public. The postmaster is out of his mind, must be a patronage appointment, can’t image he got the job on his own. The cop is aggressive and uninformed. A mild spoken guy with a camera is scaring people? Are they that disturbed? Good Lord!
I love how Sean absolutely CRUSHES the copsplaining and he doesn’t even have to raise his voice. Just rolls off his tongue. This what I tell other channels/ not everyone can be an auditor. It’s more than showing up someplace with a camera. It’s a mental chess match. This is how it’s done ladies and gentlemen.
The postmaster caused this because he didn’t know the rules and regulations for his post office! Are you kidding me. Shameful and I hope he is suitability embarrassed.
Please don’t ever lose your cheerfulness. One of the reasons why I like watching your videos is because of your good positive attitude that you maintain while doing difficult things.
The sergeant listening to the information and admitting he didn’t know and wanted to hear the rational shows that he is willing to learn more about laws he isn’t familiar with. That’s super important since a number of officers would just assume they’re in the right with their interpretation and not listen to citizens at all. I hope that he did follow up with looking into the laws of public photography in public buildings and continues to learn about laws through his entire career. There are a hell of a lot of laws, and part of working a job should always be improving your abilities.
The sergeant was desperately reaching for anything to convince Shawn he was wrong and the police officer was right. Restrictions on rights lol. You can tell he’s a traffic enforcement police officer he used to the people giving up some rights while driving a vehicle so he correlates that to every situation now
I think people would be far more scared of a fast talking thug covered in gang tattoos carrying multiple weapons appearing to escalate a legal activity than a friendly man with a camera minding his own business
When the police were militarized during the Bush2 and Obama administrations, they changed sides, from our side protecting our unalienable rights to the government’s side protecting bureaucrats imaginary rights. Great job exposing the tyrants, even the polite ones here. It’s sad to see them so reluctant to learn anything. Peace.
God forbid, the police spend even a second explaining peoples rights to the people who call them and quell their fears. Could it be they actually want confrontations with auditors? You can tell that he thinks it’s just to escalate and get a reaction out of people, so he is only making his own job more difficult. You can tell by his original aggressive approach, proof that they prefer when people don’t know the law.
I’ve been watching activist videos on YouTube for 4 or 5 years now. LIA is by far my favorite. His politeness and knowledge of the law makes his videos so entertaining. It blows my mind how government employees act so entitled and lack even a fundamental understanding of the law and civil rights. Especially law enforcement. I hope the police officers watch this video and see how ludacris they look. A guy strapped with several weapons, a mask and full sleeve tattoos trying to explain how a man with a camera is scary.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in 17 years” Then proceeds to tell you what you can and cannot do while he still doesn’t know. You’re way too polite, Shawn.
This cop wants to trespass you! He is looking for a clause, bottom line is you have the right to film as long as you aren’t creating a disturbance or impeding business, and there is no expectation of privacy in public. That should be end of story.
It still trips me out that random employees think they have the authority to ask someone for ID!
You handled this interaction with much more patience than I could have ever done. You should not have had to explain to them and then listen as they tell you what you just said back to you, as if it were their original thoughts. Wow As always be safe
I wonder where this whole “you’re not allowed to film because it’s a government building” started. It was never based on fact. Also, I like that Sean is always polite and cordial, but I do appreciate him being a bit more direct in this one. Sometimes the polite fluff gives them a sense that they are in control of Sean, when HE is the one in control.
It’s absolutely amazing how a country of Free people can so predictability be ignorant of their basic civil liberties . Even more amazing to see greater ignorance displayed by the clowns pretending to know the law ! Is it possible our educational systems have failed us ?
Imagine walking on the road and an officer stops you to inform you of “you can’t jaywalk, you can’t rob other citizens, put a leash on your dog if you have one, if you drive always have a license” ridiculous.
When the cop sees that rrecording is permitted, that’s where the BS should stop. It amazes me just how many PO employees, including the management, don’t know their own rules and regulations.
Another utter failure by the law enforcement and public employees. Legal, lawful, Constitutionally protected activity and they go nuts. Their cameras are all ok, but if a man holds one himself they flip into tyranny.
All public officials need to get trained on filming in public. At this point, when there’s a camera above them, and they wanna complain about your camera, you can already see the corruption.
-You’re scaring people. -Well… I could say the same thing about you, but you’re just doing your job. Imagine being scared by probably the most polite guy with a camera in the entire country.
It’s good that the officers actually took the time to learn. Unfortunately he likes to give unnecessary orders.
This is a great one. Two cops show up who don’t know the law, do extra research to find out if there’s any way they can suspend your rights, and then try to school you on trivial details after being educated.
When a camera is the most dangerous weapon to armed public servants…. Transparency is their kryptonite 📸💥
I love how some cops just have to get the last word in just to flex. “Don’t go into areas you’re not allowed in”. Love when Sean pulls the dog on a leash response. So awesome. And officer Tattoo sleeves really needs to learn how to interact with the public. That dude is way too aggressive. He needs to chill.
If the Post Master had done his job and taught about Poster 7, the employees would have no reason to be afraid. He should be having the long conversation with the Postal Inspector rather than the cop. The hilarious Sgt. doesn’t know Federal law, speaks to the Post Master who doesn’t either, then proceeds to try to educate you. His expression, when you told him to ‘Put the dog on a leash’ was splendid.
Amazing to see/hear cops say “You’re scaring people…people feel threatened…” as if it’s something that is the auditor’s fault. What person in the right mind doesn’t feel scared or threatened by cops in the US?! Should they go home because we feel threatened when we have a cop car behind us in traffic? This was a strange ol’ audit. On the one hand the sergeant (aka assistant manager) was humble enough to admit he didn’t know what the laws were but on the other it also felt that he was dying for filming to be illegal in certain circumstances. I wonder what might have happened if the postmaster had said he wanted Sean trespassed rather than admitting that he could film? Would have been interesting to see how they panned out.
You’re probably the most respectful guy I have ever seen God bless you and God bless the Constitution of America
21:47 These cops are so delusional. He admitted he does not know anything about the federal law governing post office but insist on giving directives.
Everyone is “concerned” when someone does something they don’t like. What happened to minding your own business?? He wasn’t hurting anyone. Good lord.
Don’t run with scissors, don’t wrestle with a lollipop in your mouth, Man those cops really taught me a lot about the law today. The directives were full of useful information. I mean gosh I had no idea I had to look both ways when crossing the street
Amazing that this Sgt. is working as hard as he can to limit your rights even though he has never had to deal with this before. Maybe he can work just as hard and find some freedoms that are not being exercised at the post office.
Out of all the YouTube Auditors you are by far the most respectful. You respond calmly and respectfully to everyone, even those who are being outright rude and belligerent to you. This takes huge strength of character! It is not easy to do, and very few people do it. Anyone can lower themself and get into a pissing match when disrespected. I truly appreciate how your style of auditing had evolved. Congratulations on your new gig doing presentations for law enforcement!
Sean keeps calm while the postmaster looses his mind. Threatens police then says something about laws in federal buildings that don’t exist. Keeping calm and collected is KEY to making these videos.
Constitutional rights should be taught in high school. Leaving it up to people to educate themselves on their rights results in many people not knowing them, which at that point they might as well not have them.
All he has to do is point out to the staff their poster allowing permission for anyone to film on the premises in public areas, and let the Post Master know he should be ashamed of himself for him and his staff not knowing that ,and wasting Police time.
One would think that everyone that works for the post offices would have seen or been told about you and your audits and know the laws by now.
So many are doing these audits you would think they would include a class or some kind of education for all public servants that in public you are allowed to video anything you can see. It’s crazy that still is still such a big deal. And it’s fun that people get to act like that lady and your the person making them feel unsafe.
Love watchin our police officials trying to make up laws and crimes on the spot.
its amazing how irritated police seem sometimes dealing with a citizen obeying the law 😂
Still boggles my head that the post office can’t educate there own employees. Maybe they should send out e-mails instead of letters. Thanks Sean loved you copsplanning the cops
>> Emails have been sent by senior postal officials. Either the employees don’t read them, don’t comprehend them, or don’t care. Any way you look at it, it’s their failure to perform their duties.
So since cops aren’t trained on the 1st amendment or photography laws its up to ‘we the people” to educate them right?!! It seems the sergeant was fishing for something to arrest you for!! It should have been over with the first cop but since he couldn’t do anything his ego kicked in and he had to see if the sergeant could do anything and they both FAILED!!
I really like how the cop argues with starting his arguments with the fact he really doesn’t know however this is what he thinks. That is a rare feature in any cops dialogue. Coming up with individual cases of violating a private transaction or mailing in a public area can be fun. The bathroom is the easy one. Even poster 7 has some verbage that can be argued about its policy of recording. The nice thing is about taking everything not so seriously and making sure de-escalation is part of the ingredient of an education.
I think it’s a sad discovery for the average citizen to realize that law enforcement officials have little interest in keeping up with the issues that affect our civil rights and freedoms.
Sean, just walk away when they copsplain. It’s hilarious, makes them furious, and is the best display of citizen power. If they detain its just fodder for a lawsuit.
These audits have been going on for nearly a decade now. How on Earth are the post offices not fully aware by now?
Hilarious that he claims to be the “highest ranking federal official in the city right now” and doesn’t know basic federal laws, including that (apart from rare cases), police do not have authority in post offices, that’s the job of the Postal Inspectors.
This cop is totally ready to pounce on you but first he has to stir you up and you handled him perfectly!!!!
Peoples “feelings” have no bearing on my rights!! It doesn’t matter how they feel… They should be shunned, ashamed and prohibited from calling police in these instances! We don’t need the police to explain to law abiding citizens how not to break the law. 🤷♂️
“There is nothing I can do”…………. this statement should be read as , If there was some way I could violate this man’s rights , and not be held accountable , I would gladly do it. Great Video . Peace , Be Free .
These cops and public officials have their heads so full of guidelines, policies, regulations, and procedures that they totally overlook the rights we have under the Constitution.
The Sgt has 17 years as an officer, and is charge of the shift, and still has no idea what the law is. He played the “what if” game really well.
Your approach is the best. Always keep your calm demeanor. It is an inspiration not just on constitutional rights, but your demeanor is proof that you can catch more flies with honey than salt. I try to apply such a demeanor to all aspects in life and I think it works best. Good job on what you do.
I’m old, I remember when people use to be scared of someone with a lot of tattoos, now it’s so normal the police officers have them. What people perceive as dangerous because it’s unusual can be normalized if everyone does it!
You had these 1A auditing skills over a year ago? Mad props, excellent verbal jiu jitsu when confronted by the government officials looking to infringe on your rights. Though I have to admit, these police officers were very polite. No snarky comments or nasty attitude. I would probably call this a pass on the part of the government.
Hi Sean from the UK – that was a brilliant audit again from you but it does highlight some of the ways you have improved since then, like telling them that they are LAW enforcement and not FEELINGS enforcement. Don’t forget also to point out the fact that the cameras inside are filming everyone’s transactions and that ANYONE can get that footage with a simple FIOA request so their directives are pointless. Pleased to hear your news about being invited to give a talk at Ohio, proves to everyone that auditors ARE making inroads into the tyranny shown to cameras and you are the perfect man to give that talk. Don’t forget to point out that you are the one responsible for getting that unconstitutional sign removed by the mayor as well as the other changes you have been responsible for. Time for that PINAC movement to gather momentum with you as one of the leaders of it along with people like BAT, Johnny 50 and Major Awesome, as well as many others. Stay safe Sean and keep up the education one step at a time. Respect from over the pond.
Fellow Patriots, I have some exciting news! I have been invited to be guest speaker at a Police Department In Ohio. I will be speaking on First Amendment Audits & Deescalation. Stay tuned to the channel for the video! We the People are effecting change little by little! I Couldn’t do this without your continued support thank you! 🙏🇺🇸
