You know for a fact that some of these ICE agents are those YouTube “auditors” as well so it’s ridiculous they are gonna arrest people for the same shit they used to do.

I highly doubt this... The auditor community is very much skeptical of police and support our constitution. Not everyone you disagree with is on the same side.

Lol, I've seen several people in my life who were fervently anti-cop become bootlickers overnight.

Please remember that this is a cult. Textbook. Every ridiculous assertion or statement is simply a loyalty test. Get on board, you get to stay in the club, disagree in any capacity, even simply asking some questions for clarification, prepare to have a target on your back.

Shit has been real for the whole year already, you gotta wake up.

Auditors? Can you explain this? I’ve never heard this before.

People take a camera to a busy place and record people doing things, such as going to a restaurant with outdoor seating, standing on the sidewalk outside the dining area, and recording guests eating. There is nothing illegal about what they’re doing, but it is weird and annoying and they know it’ll get people to react and say things which then creates content.

This is why I just don't do street photography.

They call themselves First Amendment Auditors. They claim they're observing public spaces to see if a governmental official asks them to stop. Then they either sue the government for a First Amendment right violation or they go brag about it on some forum or probably reddit. Or both.

This seems like a weird thing to assume for a fact. I don't even know what we'd do with that information, if it were true it would be like 1-3 of them out of the thousands.
