While filming for a recent audit in Lake Worth, Florida, I stumbled upon something that perfectly illustrates the double standard in law enforcement. A Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy, responding to a call, decided that traffic laws didn’t apply to him—parking illegally at a stop sign, facing the wrong way.

At the time, I called him out on it, but he didn’t engage. Now, I’ve obtained the body cam footage from that very moment, and it raises an important question: Should the people enforcing the law be allowed to break it whenever it’s convenient?

The Incident: A Clear Violation

The deputy, identified as Officer Jason Hole (#31765), was responding to a call regarding illegal dumping. Despite an empty parking lot nearby, he chose to block a stop sign and park facing oncoming traffic—something that would get any regular citizen ticketed or towed. But as we often see, the rules seem to apply differently when you have a badge.

Body Cam Footage Tells the Story

Thanks to Florida’s public records laws, I was able to obtain the body cam footage of this deputy in action. It confirms what I saw that day—there was no active emergency, no immediate threat—just a blatant disregard for basic traffic laws.

Would a regular citizen get away with this? Doubtful. So why should law enforcement?

This isn’t about targeting individual officers—it’s about accountability. If law enforcement wants to maintain public trust, they need to follow the same laws they enforce.

Chase Bank didn’t want to be filmed… so they called the cops—who filmed for me!! In my latest First Amendment audit in downtown West Palm Beach, I tested how banks react to public filming. Things took an ironic turn at Chase Bank, where a manager called the police on me—despite admitting he knew I had the right to film! Officer A. Forgione arrived, handled the situation professionally, and even educated the staff. But here’s the kicker: while Chase had an issue with me filming from the public sidewalk, the police went inside and recorded the bank themselves! You can’t make this up.

Over at Wells Fargo, the response was much calmer. A staff member asked if I was doing marketing, and when I said no, she simply went back inside. Unlike Chase, my camera had a clear view inside Wells Fargo—no glare blocking the footage.

After skipping the remaining stops due to low activity, I wrapped up the audit with a scenic outro at Lake Worth Lagoon, showcasing a stunning view of downtown West Palm Beach.

This one is packed with irony—you won’t want to miss it!

In the spirit of upholding First Amendment rights, I recently embarked on a visit to the Palm Beach County School District. This trip was inspired by Liberty Troll’s experience there last month, where his rights were blatantly violated.

During Liberty Troll’s visit, he encountered rudeness from a staff member named Dustin and was even ordered by security to turn off his camera. When he refused, things escalated, and Major Richard “Dick” Moore of the Palm Beach County School District Police Department trespassed him from public property.

After learning about this incident, I contacted Liberty Troll to discuss the situation. We decided it would be valuable to conduct my own audit and see how I would be treated.

Thankfully, my experience was significantly different. While there were some tense moments, there weren’t any major confrontations. Here’s a breakdown of what transpired:

• Patricia Coolahan, a school district analyst, did appear agitated about my presence and contacted the police.
• However, the responding officer, Cadillo, was professional and understanding of my First Amendment rights. We even had a cordial conversation.
• The security guard was friendly and even exchanged a few pleasantries with me.
• In contrast to Liberty Troll’s experience with Dustin, the front desk staff member, Kiera, was incredibly helpful. She assisted me with my public records request and ensured it reached the appropriate department promptly. I even received a response with the requested information a few days later, including details about Patricia Coolahan.

This audit experience highlights the importance of professionalism and respectful conduct within public service institutions. It also demonstrates how situations can vary depending on the individuals involved. While I may not have encountered the same hostility as Liberty Troll, my visit underscores the potential for misunderstandings and the need for clear communication regarding First Amendment rights.

This blog post serves as a record of my experience and aims to spark a conversation about transparency and accountability in public institutions. It’s crucial for citizens to understand their rights and for public servants to uphold them. Let’s continue to promote open dialogue and ensure everyone feels comfortable exercising their First Amendment freedoms.

Should bank employees feel threatened over a camera? The rise of auditors filming bank exteriors has sparked an unexpected tension. While the auditors see it as a routine practice to document potential safety hazards or suspicious activity, some banks feel threatened by this seemingly innocuous act. Understanding both perspectives sheds light on the concerns at play.

Auditors, often independent security consultants or investigative journalists, film bank facades for various reasons. They might be documenting the accessibility of entrances for disabled individuals, identifying poorly lit areas that could be security risks, or capturing footage of suspicious activity like loitering or attempted break-ins. This footage can be used as evidence for reports, highlighting potential security vulnerabilities for the bank’s benefit.

However, banks express discomfort with being filmed. Concerns range from privacy violations of customers entering and exiting to reputational damage if the footage captures negative aspects like long lines or protests. Additionally, some banks worry that filming might be a precursor to a more elaborate attack, with criminals using the footage to plan robberies.

It’s important to remember that filming on public sidewalks is generally legal. Public spaces offer little expectation of privacy, and auditors operating within legal boundaries have the right to document what they see. To mitigate bank anxieties, auditors could ensure transparency by informing the bank of their filming intentions and purpose.

One potential solution is for the the banks to use privacy screens on their computer monitors, and ensure monitors aren’t facing public view. This can be done with curtains, blinds, and or reflective tint. What they shouldn’t do is try to enforce their policies on lawabiding citizens as they cannot control what others do on public sidewalks.

Ultimately, both sides share a common goal: bank security. By fostering open communication and acknowledging the legitimacy of both filming and bank concerns, a collaborative approach can be reached. This ensures auditors can conduct their work effectively while respecting bank anxieties, leading to a safer and more secure banking environment for everyone.
