A First Amendment auditor visits the Lake County Detention Center and Sheriff's Office to film the facility and interact with staff. After an initial aggressive exchange with a deputy, the auditor shifts to a professional demeanor to gain limited access to the building and inquire about public records and facility policies.
First Amendment auditors, don't let them catch you slipping or you'll be on YouTube forever.
Here we are at Lake County Detention Center and Sheriff's Office I would suspect.
I can feel the blood creeping from the heathens. Got will, got fight, got pride, got reason. If they want to go, we'll go.
Captain's here. Two caps are here.
Mayor's got his own spot here at the parking facility.
Oh, get in the wheel. Get it, get it.
Get on the police aid. No bikes or skateboarding on the sidewalk.
And there's your cells up there. These are the cell windows.
You ever watch any old Eric Brandt stuff? Who? Eric Brandt. Eric what? Eric Brandt.
Put your seat belts on, people. I would not. So I'm getting some complaints that you're
cussing some people out. Right, **** the cops, right? **** this ****** right here, Deputy Foose.
Yeah? Yeah. So that's our problem. We're getting a lot of complaints about stuff like that.
Cussing people. Who gives a ****? It's not against the law to ******* use ******* foul language, you stupid ****.
Okay. It's not. Yeah, it is actually. No, it's not. If they want to file complaints. You need to go read the
******* law, Foose. Maybe you should. You're a ******* idiot. Maybe you should. You've always been a ******* idiot
and you're wasting valuable water and oxygen. Go **** yourself. Yeah, yeah. You ever watch any of
those old stuff? Uh-uh, I think I may have. Well, there's a, I can't remember which one it was, but they,
Eric would show up at the jail, right? And then next thing you know, he'd be looking at
filming the windows and whatnot. And then the next thing you know,
they'd start beating on the damn windows. Oh, yeah. Because they knew Eric, and man, that freaking
jail would go nuts. Because Eric would be out there with his signs and stuff. Right. **** the police
and all in here. Oh, yeah. And they start beating on them windows, boy. With their, with their cups.
Right. For officer safety. Hello. There's the American flag. Of course, it is higher than the rest of them.
I mean, that's a term of endearment for you. Oh, of course. Of course. All right, let's see.
If they will let us do a free. Hell, I don't see nothing here.
So, how's this work?
How does the house work? Okay, if you were to go in there, you would be here. Yes. Yes.
Yeah, professional. Professional? Yes. I want to, I need to do a public records request. Public
records request, which is? For the jail. Yes. You would go down the sidewalk to the roundabout.
Take a left, a right, second building on your left. Oh, man, I figured it was in the same building.
No, it would be over at the sheriff's office.
Cool. You ready? I might have to pull you the cost on that, too. Oh, yeah.
All right.
Ma'am, we'd like to go in. Oh, you can't go in, sir. Why not? Only professional visits are allowed.
What, what, assume, why would you assume I'm not professional? Well, you would have to show me
either an attorney's bar card, or do you work for DCF or Livestream? Oh, you can't go in for
news purposes, sir. Oh, well, then it may have to, we'll have to sign a news release. A news release.
A media release form, if you wanted to speak to a certain thing. Oh, no, I just want to,
I just want to go in. Well, the public area stops from that glass this way. So,
you mean the glass that's closest to us? Yes. Okay, can I go right there to the glass and just
get a shot of it? Sure. I would need you to clear a metal detector first. Okay. So,
if you have anything on your person, cell phone, lighter, cigarettes, just put it inside the bowl.
And then your hat also, and you can place everything on the conveyor belt. Yep.
Very familiar. Are you both? Yes. Switch blades aren't illegal, are they? Well,
actually, you can leave it there because you're not going in. Yeah, actually, I thought it was
kind of funny, but. Thank you, ma'am. You're fine. All right. When I said information,
what does that mean? We used to have visitors here. No, this was here, but we used to have
personal visitation. And then after COVID, we purchased the building.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's one of the things I was going to ask, but did I hear y'all
talking about, you used to have conjugals around here? Not conjugal, just visitation.
Oh, I shouldn't say that. Okay. Yeah. I don't want to make sure I heard that.
This is all male, right? We have males, we have females, and we have males with us.
Okay. Now, what are y'all from the club? Yeah. Oh, okay. There are adjudicators.
Would you happen to know what the youngest has been, would you say adjudicated?
Maybe like 16. I haven't seen it. Okay. Cool. Well, that's not cool, but yeah.
All right. Thank you very much.
Now, see what happens when you act the right way. We're in and out.
How are you? Oh, I'm blessed beyond belief, man.
I saw the mayor's car, Phil. Is the mayor here?
The what? I said the mayor's spot there, his parking spot.
Oh, major. Oh, did he say major? Okay. I just, I saw it at a glance, so he just said major.
Okay. Okay. So the mayor's got his own spot?
The mayor's somewhere else, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah.
All right. Y'all have a blessed day.
All right. Man, I don't have my glasses on.
So it's Lake County Sheriff, can't do it for you here, have to go to Lake County Sheriff's office,
they say. So, say goodbye to J-Town Press.
