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.

Spoofed emails from CCAO email addresses
by Tricia Callihan Sept. 1, 2020

Sept. 1, 2020

To: CORSA Members, Agents, Broadcast Email Members, Vendors, and Staff: We have learned that several people recently received spoofed emails that appear to come from CCAO email addresses. Spoofed emails try to get recipients to click on malicious links or attachments. Our Network Administrator verified that these spoofed emails are not coming from our server or Broadcast system. Our system is secure. Continue to closely review every incoming email. If it looks strange - don't click, delete it! Call the CORSA representative that is listed as the sender if you are uncertain about the legitimacy of the email. Don't be fooled if the from line contains what appears to be a "CCAO.org" address. Generally, the last email address contained in the email from line is the actual email address. "Email addresses" that appear before the final email address are bogus. Bad actors will often insert an accurate email address before the actual originating email address. For example, a from line that contains the following is a spoofed email: Tricia Callihan <tcallihan(a)ccao.org<mailto:tcallihan@ccao.org>> <morishima.kunio(a)kanokom.com<mailto:morishima.kunio@kanokom.com>>. Below is a screenshot of a recent spoofed email: [cid:image001.jpg@01D67D47.AE9070E0] The spoofed emails were generated from external IP address(es) and made it past some recipient's anti-phishing (spam) filter. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid external spoof emails; however, we have placed spoof emails originating from external IP address(es) on a blacklist to prevent those IP addresses from sending spoofed emails that appear to come from a ccao.org email address. If you receive other spoofed emails, please let us know and we will blacklist those as well. Please consult your IT department/provider to assess your inbound anti-phishing (spam) protection and other cybersecurity measures that may be necessary. We will continue to monitor this situation and be in contact as developments warrant. As always, thank you for your continued vigilance monitoring emails as part of your cybersecurity efforts. Feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like to discuss this matter.
