First Amendment Audits
by Frank Hatfield April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

Over the last few years citizen activists have been conducting "First Amendment Audits" with increasing frequency. This phenomenon does not appear to be led by an organization; rather, audits are conducted by individuals interested in videoing law enforcement and other public officials and offices. Although conducted by individuals, organizations such as the ACLU provide guidance and encourage First Amendment audits. (See ACLU: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/#i-want-to-take-pic….) Frequently, these video audits are posted online and, if a perceived First Amendment violation occurred, the videos are the basis for a civil lawsuit. Now is a good time to review and update or create, if necessary, your County's protocol with regard to citizens videoing County operations. Fortunately, counties and public offices, such as Union County, have prepared well to withstand a "First Amendment" without incident. Union County, specifically Sheriff Patton, was kind enough to share the attached memorandum regarding recent "First Amendment Audit" activity and permit it to be distributed by CORSA broadcast email. Thank you Union County. The attached is not legal advice nor should it be construed as such. Should you require a legal opinion please contact your Prosecutor's Office or legal counsel.
