A content creator visits government buildings in Brevard County to document public facilities and test whether government employees respect the First Amendment right to record in public. While most staff are professional and friendly, the creator encounters one employee who becomes hostile, leading to a formal public records request and a complaint.
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, but we're having a private conversation.
In a public area?
It doesn't make too much sense to have it in a public area.
Yeah.
Exercising your rights?
What about my rights?
Because you're videotaping me without permission.
Are you a public official?
I'm sorry?
Are you a public official?
Do I look like a public official?
I don't know, you're working inside Solid Waste.
This lady's super unprofessional.
Now I'm going to file a complaint on you.
What's this lady's name?
It's public information and I want to file a public record request on her.
I'm going to explain something to you.
You're going to learn a lot today.
You are a public employee.
What's up guys?
Welcome back.
It's a very windy day today.
So I don't want it to sound bad.
So we're going to go over here.
I'm in Brevard County.
Public school boards.
I'm out traveling.
This is the west coast.
I just got here yesterday from the east coast.
So I'm doing a little bit of traveling here in my home state.
And I'm out with a personality check audits.
His link will be in the description below guys.
I've never been here.
So let's see if my rights are respected today.
And record our government officials.
We're here for the government and the government only guys.
You know that's my first priority.
So we're going to come over here and take some video here.
So this is the lobby over here.
It doesn't seem to be too busy today.
Where are you at today?
Hi, how are you doing ma'am?
I'm just taking a look around and file a public record request before I leave.
Yeah, that's it.
Cool. Awesome.
Awesome. Thank you.
Very nice. Very nice. Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Awesome. Thank you, ma'am.
Alright, so we got the public record.
Yeah, it's administrative.
Hi, how you doing?
Good.
Nice smile.
Oh, my buddy's doing a public records request and I'm just out documenting his adventure.
How you doing today?
You got such good energy.
Nice smile.
It's equal to your smile.
You have a blessed day, man.
God bless you.
They're taking video here.
No, I'm just I'm just taking a look.
That's it. Yeah, I know.
I'm not inside. I'm not inside.
What do you guys have? A photo studio?
Yeah, what is that for?
How can we help you?
Pretty interesting.
Yeah, what is that? Is that a photo studio?
No, that's mine.
That's why I say stop.
No, I know. I'm right here.
I know. I'm not trying to go.
I'm not trying to go in there.
I see you over there.
I just want to record it.
I see you back there smiling big.
How you doing?
Hey, man. How you doing?
I see you smile big.
All right, friend. I need you to back up.
Yeah, I'm just recording this quick.
I will in a minute.
All right, guys. There's not much here.
I don't know why.
Sure, man.
Stop. Oh, stop.
I don't care about this. This is good enough.
I don't got to go in here anyways.
Anyway, so yeah, I don't know why she's telling me to back up so much.
But, uh.
Thank you.
So I'm over here across the street from the public schools administration.
And it's a huge building here.
I have no idea what it is, but I know it's a government building.
It's government property.
Yeah, absolutely.
In a public area?
It doesn't make too much sense to have it in a public area.
Thank you.
I wasn't smart.
We're just taking a look around the building.
I'm just documenting the building.
That's all in public areas.
That's it. Thank you.
I like the smile. Awesome.
So it's not. What department is this?
I missed it.
Natural resources.
Thank you. Awesome. Have a good day.
Hi, how you doing?
We're just taking a look around and documenting the building and videoing.
That's it. Cool. That's it.
What department is this?
Oh, cool. Very small.
Awesome. Thank you.
You too.
Solid waste.
Hi, lady. How you doing?
Can I help you?
Oh, just taking a look around the building and stuff.
Taking video. That's all we're doing.
Exercise, all right.
Exercising your rights?
What about my rights?
Because you're videotaping me without permission.
Are you a public official?
I'm sorry?
Are you a public official?
Do I look like a public official?
I don't know. You're working inside solid waste.
I work for county.
Exactly.
Okay, well, I don't give you permission.
We don't need it, ma'am.
We don't need permission.
Everybody's been so nice in this whole building.
And you had to kill the video.
Yes, you are.
You have no choice.
No, you don't. Not when you work for the government.
No, you don't. No expectation of privacy in public.
Learn the law, lady. You're rude.
You're rude. You're rude.
You're rude.
I came in very nice.
There's a door. I see it. It's beautiful.
Nice. I can see right through it.
Who do you think you are? I'm not leaving.
Yeah, you're rude.
This whole building was nice.
And you had to kill it.
I don't care if it's viral or not.
Okay, you're gonna care.
You're gonna care.
This lady is super unprofessional.
Now I'm gonna file a complaint on you.
What's this lady's name?
It's public information and I wanna file a public record request on her.
I don't like being recorded.
I'm gonna explain something to you.
You're gonna learn the law today.
You are a public employee.
You have no right to tell me to stop recording, ma'am.
You're gonna get what you give.
You're very rude.
No, we can speak in here, sir. This is a public area. I appreciate your demeanor.
Are you the supervisor of this lady?
I need her name and I'm going to file a complaint on her right now.
She's very rude to the public and she can't do that because we have video cameras.
I just want to file a public records request on her.
Extremely rude. She started this. I have it all on video.
But she can't treat the public like that.
It's okay. It's okay. No, it's okay. She can't treat the public like that.
She should have asked me in a nice way.
She was very rude to us.
Now, I want to file a public records request on her.
I want to submit it to you. Do you have a legal piece of paper?
I'll just write it on a piece of paper.
No, no. I can submit it to any public employee on duty.
I don't know if I have any of those.
No, it's just any white sheet of paper is fine.
And I can just write it. Yes, that's it.
That was very rude of her.
Everybody in this building has been super nice to us.
She had to kill the video. Now, that's going to go viral on the platform that we own.
That's not cool, man.
This is why we record our government officials.
To save you guys our professional respect and our rights to record you guys.
We just want you to be kind.
Yeah, be nice. Give us smiles, dude.
That's crazy.
So, what was her name again?
Dorsey?
Doreen.
I'm sorry.
Doreen.
Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. We'll be quiet. You take your call.
Super rude, man.
Oh, I'm going to eat her candy.
I'm going to eat all her candy.
Get you some candy, Joey.
Yes, thank you.
You can talk to him. We'll be quiet.
I love chocolate hearts.
She's got the best candy in the world.
Only if she had vanilla hearts with love.
She went from 0 to 100.
Yeah.
Quick.
And she's got chocolate hearts.
Well, she had chocolate hearts.
I'm so sorry she got upset.
I'm sure she gets educated.
With a little conversation, we can turn our irritations into education.
Go ahead. Take the call. We'll be quiet.
We don't want to interrupt business.
Thank you so much for being professional, sir.
Mr. Mulligan.
Good morning, Delroy County Police Department.
Please hold.
Yeah, you're a super graduate.
Yes, I'll be with you momentarily.
That's not cool.
Okay.
This is Darlene. This is her name.
Okay.
And I'm here because today is Father's Day.
Okay.
And the date that she started.
All right.
And that's my email.
What was your name?
Thomas Mulligan.
Okay.
Mr. Mulligan.
Mr. Mulligan, I will be doing a follow-up visit.
Yeah.
Hopefully, when we come back, it'll be a different experience.
Yes.
Let me make a call to her.
Thank you. Thank you.
Just because she behaved poorly, we do have to come back to a re-visit to make sure...
Sometime, yeah, to make sure that she doesn't do that again.
You've been very nice. What's your name?
My name's Julia.
Nice to meet you.
You are so sweet.
You are so sweet. That voice.
Your voice is like...
I couldn't yell at you.
I know. I couldn't yell at you if I'm mad. Exactly.
Thank you for being nice.
Awesome.
It's okay.
Is she usually like that?
Like, is she usually mean like that?
No. No. I don't know.
No. You don't...
I don't want to put you on the spot. I'm sorry.
All right. We'll be quiet if you can take some of your people up.
We don't want to affect business.
So, go ahead. We'll be quiet.
All right, sir. I really appreciate your professionalism.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry for this.
You know.
It's really her fault.
You know.
Everybody has been so nice in this whole building.
But...
She broke the ice.
Thank you.
Appreciate it, sir.
Take it easy, man.
Oh, I need that.
I'm sorry. Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
Wow, bro. That was unexpected.
You see what I mean?
Recording.
Working.
Recording. Gathering content for our story.
Exercising our first amendment right.
In public.
And recording our government.
That's it.
Good.
Make sure they're doing the right thing.
Exactly.
See how they treat us.
You know. Stuff like that.
Thank you.
Good day. Bye-bye.
How you doing?
I'm just taking a look around.
Taking some video.
Seems to be pretty empty today.
What department is this?
Not at the moment.
We're just...
Good morning.
I am...
How can we help you?
Did you get the NOC?
Yes.
I'll take that for you.
Don't worry.
I will figure it out here.
They stapled it for you.
I'm going to unstaple it.
I'm working.
I'm working right now, sir.
But you're out in public, though.
There's no expectation of privacy in public.
For anybody.
Anybody.
Hi. How you doing?
I'm doing very well.
Good.
You're going to do that, right?
Huh?
Oh, okay, okay. Cool, cool.
Would you get a public records request sheet?
I think I want one, too.
Where did he get it?
Do you have a...
Do you have another sheet
to file a public records request?
I can get another sheet.
Cool. I just want to submit one.
That's it.
Thank you.
Appreciate you guys' professionalism.
That's cool.
Awesome.
That's what we're looking for.
Hey, guys.
Let me do this real quick.
Thank you. Appreciate it, ladies.
All right. You, too.
Huh?
Oh, I'm recording.
Recording my government.
Just working on a story here
on the building
and the government officials.
That's all I'm doing.
That's it.
It's your right to record your government
and all your interactions
with what you have with them.
It's a First Amendment right, sir.
Freedom of the press.
Oh, yeah?
So, thank you for your service.
You guys fought for these rights.
Awesome, bro. Thank you.
Have a good day, man.
Hell, yeah.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Joey.
Uh-huh.
Oh, wow.
Really?
Wow, bro.
That's crazy.
Take it easy, man.
Yeah.
Good vibes.
Mmm.
All right, guys.
I'm just acing the chocolate.
We just came from building B.
This is building C.
This is a separate building.
Mmm.
Just documenting the building.
Hmm?
Me? I don't have a mask.
Oh, I don't know.
What's wrong with that?
Did you ask people that during COVID?
Why they're wearing masks?
Yes.
You asked guys riding motorcycles
why they're wearing masks?
I'm asking you.
What made you ask?
You want me to tell you the truth
why I'm wearing a mask?
I got really low self-esteem
and I don't want you to stare at me.
So I wear a mask.
I'm staring at you more with the mask on.
But you can't see how ugly I am
and you won't take pictures or anything.
I don't judge.
Thank you so much.
Sorry.
You can't judge me wearing a mask.
I just ask why you're wearing it.
Hello.
All right, guys.
He's over there
getting into it with the lady.
My phone is really low.
Probably less than 15%.
I'm going to go run to the car
and start charging my phone.
We'll see you on the next destination, guys.
Thanks for tuning in.
We're out of here, guys.
I'm going to go have that lunch
and see you on the next video.
Rest in peace and safe.
