A First Amendment auditor visits the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport to test public filming rights. The visit leads to heated confrontations with staff and police, who threaten arrest for obstruction. The auditor attempts to file a formal complaint against the officers, highlighting systemic issues with police accountability and the legal status of taxpayer-funded public spaces.
If you start bothering people, though.
No, do you see me bothering anybody?
You did, yeah.
How did I bother?
How did I bother?
Appreciate you.
How did I bother?
I don't know how I'm bothering people by recording.
I don't understand that.
I'm recording peacefully.
I'm recording.
I'm weird exercising my rights.
You don't know me.
You're a weirdo.
You don't know me.
Now you want me to file a complaint on you now for calling me a weirdo?
I'm asking you one more time.
So you're not going to answer my question?
If you don't leave me at my job,
you're going to go to jail for obstruction.
For obstruction?
Asking questions?
What's your name, investigator?
You're the gentleman I was called down here to speak with
Yeah, I wanted to file a complaint
Cameras off
Cameras off?
Cameras off
No
How many official performances am I doing?
Exactly, that's why I could record you
So yes, those dressed up clowns
were cops
Yeah, policemen
They weren't security
They didn't work for LI, Universal Security Guards or none of that
Those were cops
We're in Sarasota,
Bradenton International Airport
And we just wanted
to come over here
and take care of what we needed to take care
of and take video at the same time that's all we're
doing and see if our rights are respected
and if they don't respect our rights we're going to
educate the uneducated pretty much
so i'm out with my friend Hillsborough Highlights which he's
recording behind me i'm gonna leave his link
in the description show him support guys um we're
out at this very small airport
which is the Sarasota International Airport in Florida so
the reason why I'm here today is because
the first time I came to this airport about a year
and a half ago with my friend J-Town Press it wasn't a pretty visit
so I decided to come pay
them a revisit today and peacefully
and respectfully as you can see there you're gonna see uh take
video in public spaces and exercise my rights not bothering anyone
and not even trying to interact
with anyone unless they interact with me
and the reason why I'm doing this voiceover now for a few
minutes is because the music was a little loud here
in this section but I had a little Karen
lady that started flipping out because I was recording
her and she snitched me out so of course
one of the staff members that short girl you see running behind
the counter there went straight to
snitch me out about me recording
and I'm making people feel uncomfortable and whatnot so I'm there
still minding my business I walked all the way
to where the TSA section is at right here to take
video at the security checkpoint
and that lady that wasn't too happy me recording also tries to
snitch me out to the cops and i think she got educated
because she walked right by and called
me an asshole to get a free education so are you
for calling me one come on so as you can see on
the left there the cops are standing right there
oh there's actually three of them and um the music
was a little loud here for some reason
um in this section of the airport so of course i started
walking away from it and keep minding my business not bothering anybody
and taking video in the
public spaces until the cops started following
us i think we're being followed right there guys
i think we're being followed hey well
