Legalize Drugs-Long Island Audit Co
Long Island Audit was arrested for filming a traffic stop from a public sidewalk. While in custody, he apologized to the police for filming and begged to be released, and provided information about others to the police. He was later offered, and accepted, a diversion plea from the prosecutor. That plea deal forced Long Island Audit to write a formal apology letter to the police and perform community service, and in exchange, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charge against Long Island Audit.
Long Island Audit attempted to keep his cooperation with the police and prosecutor a secret, editing out of his videos of the encounter his verbal apologies to the arresting deputy on scene. The Sheriff’s Office, upon discovering Long Island Audit’s misleading YouTube videos of the encounter, released their own body-camera footage of the incident, released to the mainstream media Long Island Audit’s formal apology letter to the police, and held a press conference exposing Long Island Audit.
A mainstream First Amendment auditor discovered the information and revealed it on the auditor’s YouTube channel. Leaders of the auditing community addressed the matter with Long Island Audit on a YouTube Live panel discussion. The audience’s response to Long Island Audit’s cooperation, and to the auditing community’s response to Long Island Audit’s cooperation, was mixed.
Long Island Audit said what he thought everyone on the panel discussion, and in the audience, wanted to hear.
The next day, Long Island Audit posted his own YouTube video wherein he characterized other auditors who challenge or confront shows of police authority as toxic to the auditing community. Long Island Audit, essentially, branded himself as the poster-child of auditing.
Long Island Audit exulted in his self-professed political aptitude, exclaimed that he would grace political leaders with his presence, triumphed that he was exceptionally literate and articulate, emphasized that others weren’t as proficient as him because they didn’t try hard enough, and otherwise alluded to his superiority.
Long Island Audit fawns over police and prosecutors, grovels in their presence, thirstily credits to them a distinguished status, and jumps at the opportunity to forgive their civil-rights violations.
Long Island Audit “politely” baits the police with inflammatory language directed towards them. He pretends to be tough, films kids in libraries, and then denies it all.
Long Island Audit forced me to reverse the unforgivable precedent established by Long Island Audit’s cooperation with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and prosecutor. I approached the scene of an arrest while filming, was commanded by a police Sgt. to “step back,” refused, was arrested for obstruction of justice, and was jailed and bailed. The charge was dismissed by the special prosecutor and the Sgt. is now a defendant in a civil-rights action. See Marc Stout v. Sgt. Pope.
It’s all in the video.
