Warren Sapp is a "first amendment auditor"

[gypsyroad]

Its basically harassment of law enforcement and public officials disguised as "free speech".

It's time to update some laws to get them in line with everyone having a video camera in your pocket.

Some more AI:

Warren Sapp has had multiple arrests, most notably in February 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona, for soliciting prostitution and assault, leading to his firing from NFL Network. He also faced a February 2024 arrest in Okeechobee County, Florida, for allegedly interfering with a traffic stop (related to filming it), with charges later dropped, prompting a $20 million lawsuit against the county for civil rights violations.
The 2015 Phoenix Incident:

• When: February 2, 2015, after Super Bowl XLIX.
• Charges: Soliciting a prostitute and two counts of misdemeanor assault.
• Outcome: He was fired by NFL Network, entered a plea deal (anger management classes), and the solicitation charge was later dismissed.

The 2024 Okeechobee County Incident:

• When: February 2024.
• Details: Arrested for allegedly interfering with deputies during a traffic stop where he was filming, violating his free speech rights.
• Outcome: Charges dropped; Sapp is suing the county for $20 million, alleging wrongful arrest and rights violations, according to this Instagram post and this YouTube video.

It must be nice to slander someone you apparently don't know, and have everyone jump on board.

For it to be slander it must be untrue.

This is where it all stems from.

Some auditors are great, some... well... are not. I always find it hilarious that we expect SO MUCH from law Enforcement, when, these videos show that they don't know a god damn thing.

It has lead to better policing with the cops learning what the rules are as before they were just "Here is my badge, Do as I say". Some of the auditors are really good at what they do, others just try to start fights with cops so they can sue the department. Problem is the cops always fall for it. Guessing Sapp is one that goes and tries to start fights so he can sue.

So Warren is a guy who travels?

He's not driving.

He's traveling in his personal property and not consenting to doing business with the United States Corporation?

 

[CYdTracked]

Maybe he can revive his career as a TV show judge, lol

I understand “first amendment auditor” is a facetious term and meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Help me connect the dots on how this is auditing our first amendment rights.

It’s mostly just people who want to be absolute jerks to people just trying to do their jobs.

Yes and no... but often times i see the SAME police departments as a follow up, and they still don't get it.

Karens are stunned to discover ******* behavior can result in consequences like people treating them like ********.

Sounds like First Amendment auditors think ******* behavior should result in compensation.

In some places these “auditors” are people looking to make money by annoying everyone else. They do this by taking video of people (sometimes right up to people’s faces) outside of post offices, churches, grocery stores, etc. and then post the ones with interesting (negative) reaction to their preferred digital channels and get paid by advertisers.

The cops don't always fall for it. We don't see the videos of the cops saying "ok then, have a nice day" and walk away.

Sapps past is bad enough he shouldn't have the job he has. Politics and his celebrity status give him a shield most wouldn't have. He's not a good person but the guy who hired him has skeletons that get ignored for the and reasons m as Sapp.

1st amendment and DUI checkpoint "auditors" on YouTube are usually complete jerks just trying to get clicks on their lonely channel.

I'm shocked that Colorado isn't happy with the circus they invited.

 

[intrepid27]

I realize it is self inflicted on the part of Colorado but Dion should be charged with impersonating a P5 head coach.

Actually there are now some videos on Youtube and such of the cops figuring out what they are doing and walk away. So it think some of it has helped a little bit. Also, people are learning their rights from the videos. So that is a good thing. In my honest opinion, I think a lot of them suck and bait the cops. However, i do like that they are showing Americans what their rights are and how to enforce them.

He beat Penn States coach last year. Thats my new favorite way to put that.

Its written so it would be libel not slander if you believe that is what he did.

Is Connor Stalions a First Amendment Auditor?
