Yet each day\, new videos are posted to social media featuring officers who appear completely unprepared for the encounters. “Failed” audits u ndermine public trust in our already embattled institutions and\, too ofte n\, result in increasingly costly civil suits. All public servants\, peace officers in particular\, must be equipped with the most current case law\ , the requisite communication skills\, and the right mental attitude\, if we are to expect them to meet this challenge and uphold the public trust.\ n\nFirst Amendment Auditing has grown into a cottage industry that shows n o sign of slowing.\n\nWhat do you really need to know?\n\nRECOGNIZE AN AUD IT\n\nWhat do they look like?\n\nWhere do they take place?\n\nWhat are typ ical Auditor strategies?\n\nCURRENT CASE LAW\n\nWhich activities are prote cted?\n\nWhen is camera evidence?\n\nWho may film?
