I caught that! I think the citizens should have a say in whether or not a local government entity leases a new space or building. So many are making people go online to conduct business and, at the same time, raise taxes or increase citations.
@ogcatlady Agreed! Auditing Mabton has been exposing Mabton's tyrannical public servants for a while, and I.AM.FREE recently went there to follow up. When he went there, he interviewed the former mayor, who shared the current mayor has been costing taxpayers twice as much by renting space outside city hall. And taxpayers didn't know and weren't asked about it.
The unemployment agency during covid in this area rented out 2 whole floors of a giant building, But then was impossible to contact, wouldnt let you in, took 6 months to get an appointment just to show them my ID card for benefits after they shut down restaurants. When I did get the appointment and was allowed in, They had all of 3 desks of the entire floor in use. They could have rented a small storage unit and had enuf space to do the work they were doing, but instead rented out 2 entire floors of tall city building. Massive waste of tax dollars. Its the same as the DMV where you go there, they have like 15-20 computers and service windows that we've paid for, but they only using 2-3 of them.
So they can act spoiled and entitled and get paid to F the dog at the working sheeples expense as the tax toilet gets deeper and deeper . Our great great great grandchildren will be signing bank loans owing government the day they are old enough to sign their name.

Then, the superintendent finally gives out the name and tries to throw in more information, but you say, "I can get the rest online." That was such a zinger.
@@juneskywalker5847 There are thousands of people making content online. For you to bring up Direct D specifically, on this channel, for no reason, sounds like you have something personal you need to work out. 🤷♂️
Yeah i i noticed that also. Plus when he first came out he rolled up a sleeve like he was ready to go hands on. Not a good public servant at all and needs to go find the job where he works around no humans because you can tell he's a hot head. He absolutely refused to accept the fact that b a t was okay.
It’s not just the blind and illiterate. It can also be people like me who resent being told to use a computer to do something. I’m in my sixties now and grew up in a time when people dealt with things person to person. I simply prefer to keep it like that.
@@bunpeishiratori5849 Thats fine. In modern times, more productivity is available with computers. The school district encourages the use of computers. She did start to ask his name and number and he refused to give it. Keep in mind that by law, she had 10 days to provide the information requested. She didn't have to write it down for him at that time.
"it is awesome how you stand up for the blind and illiterate keep up the awesome job, we need more people like you in this world." I would have more respect if BAT actually brought a blind or illiterate person along to demonstrate first hand the challenges these people have. Otherwise he comes across like a Ken (male version of a Karen). Which he usually does.
I got the same feeling and funny how many comments praise his professional demeanor and to those people just prepare some bad news from your kids one day if you trust people like that or maybe look up the name Francis Sheldon for starters.
"In the space of just a few short years we have gone from the customer is always right to call the police, as a means of interaction." BAT is not a customer. Other than a token transaction of the FOIA request, he never conducts official business. He's nothing more than a self style social media policeman. Plus I have never seen video footage of him actually engaging with employees like a normal human being: when was the last time he did conduct official business? When was the last time he fully identified himself, even if just by his first name? When was the last time he contacted a gov't facility and offered to give a seminar on 1A rights and working with the public? Like a professional consultant would do? These mickey mouse tactics he uses would be almost laughable if he didn't have the support of so many gullible followers and legal backup. But then one could say the same thing about mafioso types. He basically has the perfect extortion gig.
You must have not watched many of his videos. His first name is Jay. He gives it out all the time. This is more about the way public employees treat the public. If us as US citizens want to be rude we can. A lot of us just choose not to be. When they are being paid by tax dollars. They have to deal with all different types of people so they need thick skin. Most of his videos just show authoritarian ownership of publicly funded buildings /employees. This isn't about us citizens. It's about the way we are treated and looked at. It's not that hard to understand Mr. Fake TH-cam name 😂@@JohnSmith-ji2ys ask yourself this. Why do people like you struggle with accountability so much? Anyone with integrity or a clear conscience will openly welcome a camera in their face. Not hide under a desk like some of these people. 🥾👅
@@aday_the_great "You must have not watched many of his videos. His first name is Jay. He gives it out all the time. " That's really interesting because I watched the whole video (again) just to confirm my suspicion. At the following time stamps they specifically request his name and he expressly refuses to give it: 13:21 13:37 18:20 21:28. CAN he refuse to give it? Of course. But in your comment you state "He gives it out all the time". Well he doesn't here. "This is more about the way public employees treat the public. If us as US citizens want to be rude we can. A lot of us just choose not to be. When they are being paid by tax dollars. They have to deal with all different types of people so they need thick skin." Sure if you want to be rude you can. The problem is just because something is possible or legal to do doesn't mean it is beneficial or won't have some consequences in the long run. It is absolutely legal to be rude to my boss if I want to be. But I won't have a job for long. There's a saying I read years ago: "You give attitude, you get attitude". What you give to the universe, the universe gives back. You want to be an entitled, condescending jerk to the public employees and expect them to smile and be pleasant back? Good luck. "Most of his videos just show authoritarian ownership of publicly funded buildings /employees. " I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading this. I could get into the whole "limited public forum" discussion and the rights of the local head to restrict freedom of speech per the nature of the facility, but that's a whole topic. " It's not that hard to understand Mr. Fake TH-cam name @JohnSmith-ji2ys " Ahh... Another ad hominem attack. Nice. And so your real name is @aday_the_great then? "Why do people like you struggle with accountability so much? Anyone with integrity or a clear conscience will openly welcome a camera in their face. Not hide under a desk like some of these people." Oh the irony!!!! Mr. BAT never identifies himself or the specific nature of his story. From what I understand he always wears sunglasses, a gator, cap, non-descript clothing, etc. Talk about hiding!!! He makes demands on the employees to go way above and beyond the call of duty. And that's not to mention the call flooding and harassment the employees receive that inevitably follows because someone refuses to give that smile he so richly deserves, so he's going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget and put them on blast !!! Mr. BAT apparently must come from royalty. Why can't these employees see that they need to act like a maitre d' at a high end restaurant or a concierge at the embassy suites?
People need to stop saying, "Public employees don't understand." It's giving them the benefit of the doubt when they shouldn't be getting it. If you accidentally violate the law, nobody will give you the benefit of the doubt. It is presumed to be willful. Government agents should be held to no lower a standard.
If their is no excuse for the public who pay the bills then it MUST be the same for all irrelevant to their own personal status as a god of governance of humanity above all others
I'd say that my man B.A.T is the most informed and educated auditor on TH-cam. Always impressed by the knowledge he's able to spit whenever he's being grilled. Good one brother
...They all seem to be sooo ignorant but maintain an entitled attitude, wrongly assuming calling dangerous men with guns to handle whatever it is they don't understand. AND they get paid very, very well to insult the Public constantly! Despicable behavior!! DEI is part of the cancer!
"The ARRAGONANCE of our public employees has always been a problem!" The arrogance of BAT is a problem as well. Just because you CAN abuse your 1A rights and agitate pubic employees doesn't mean you should. Btw, I'd love to see if he actually gets the FOIA request for the photo granted. If nothing else if I was the employee I would hire a lawyer. If you want to weaponize your camera against employees they will return the favor.
@@JohnSmith-ji2ys Nobody has mentioned that he stretched the truth quite a bit when talking to the superintendent. He was never told no, nor did he directly ask to see the superintendent.
@@mrsniffwell7736 "Nobody has mentioned that he stretched the truth quite a bit when talking to the superintendent. He was never told no, nor did he directly ask to see the superintendent." Yes. I would have to review the video (again!!), but that's probably true. As I think I have mentioned in other comments, these videos are carefully edited to create a narrative. And BAT, just like any other frauditor, will say certain things that are partially true and at best misleading. Especially when it comes to explaining the law. His power comes from taking advantage of the ignorance of the employees, the managers, the police, etc. Not to mention I think he selectively focuses on more rural areas that don't have funding to fight him legally. The guy is very smart, I'll give him credit. And it can take months or years to change laws and policy, while BAT can pivot on a dime. The laws need to be changed to address this kind of extortion activity. They need to get the state DA involved, and perhaps even the FBI.
So glad you're still out there fighting for our rights, educating us, and educating everyone else! Thanks for ALL you do! "We've only been open two days." No doubt the building is new, but I'd check that out. It seems too convenient.
At the end the Superintendent knew her staff had stepped deeply into it but who's ultimately responsible for their lack of training leading to their ignorance ? Their supervisors and ultimately the Superintendent .
...Stubborn attitudes & Ignorance can/will cost Taxpayers a lot of money. Don't understand why Civil Servants are paid sooo much money when their such a Liability to Taxpayin' Citizens?...
This is the best first Amendment channel I have watched. This dude knows the law and confidently expresses it in the face of imminent danger surrounded by hostile cops without a crack in his voice or showing a scintilla of fear then aggressively puts the tyrants in their place. I learned a lot from him.
I live in new Zealand, you're the first auditor I saw long ago and I still follow with great interest, I'd love to see when police don't properly identify the auditor immediately call 911 in front of them and report them for impersonating an officer because obviously a real cop would identify as per policy right! So we should assume they are a fake cop in full costume...also would love to see a silent auditor print out and LITERALLY STAND ON THE CONSTITUTION, see how that plays out....
@@Claudette451 are you a bot? Or did you just not watch that part he was clearly very short with him and baiting him. Hes a trash auditor and gives them a bad name

*My grandfather has severe macular degeneration of both eyes…. He is able to live for the most part normally, he just cannot see people’s faces, he can’t read at all, he can’t drive, he cannot see far away whatsoever, and he needs reading glasses to see anything up close, but still cannot read. He is able to walk around and look like he can see just fine to people who don’t know (he has mastered this over 20+ years of having the disease). He even works full time and most of the people he works with do not know he cannot see for shit. He cannot use a computer…. Every time I see a public employee refuse to give someone information, like in the end of this video, it makes me think of him and just get furious. If he walked up to the front desk and asked if they could provide him with someone’s name, ect. They need to just do it. He should not have to explain that he is mostly blind to everyone in the fucking room, that is his private medical information… and he personally refuses to disclose that like whatsoever. If that happened to him he would just say okay and leave and never get the information he needed, I know him too well. Same for when a member of the public asks for the employee to take the public records request verbally. They should just say okay yeah no problem, let me get a piece of paper to write it down for you. Nobody should have to go back and forth with them, or beg them to do so, to where you get to the point you end up having to tell them I am fucking blind out of frustration for everyone in the lobby to hear. That is literally the damn reason why the law is written that way. This also infuriates me when police officers point to their badge and say “Right Here” when asked their information, for the exact same reason. He would never be able to see that even if they walked up close to him and pointed it out. JUST SAY THE FUCKING NAME ANS BADGE NUMBER. Is it really that difficult? Nobody should have to disclose their personal medical information out loud like that. Do you know how many people in this country are visually impaired? Millions. And there are hundreds of thousands of people who you would never know they are some level of visually impaired by just looking at them, or that they are not able to do certain things because of that. Some more so than others. It’s disgusting at best. How in the world are there no trainings at any police departments or offices of public services on people who may have a disability that might not be readily visible on the outside, or any other disability. How have they not read the damn FOIA law? Just once at least? I think of my grandpa every single time I see this in a video, and for all of the other people just like him. Disgusting.*
I couldn’t agree with you more. I get pissed when cop’s expect us to tell them our medical history. I wouldn’t, but if they cage me, I’ll demand medical services.
Guess what - your grandpa with a legitimate disability would be accommodated. But he’s not a guy in a mask and sunglasses arguing and insulting people for a video.
..And dirty cops have no compulsion to actually HELP or get them mental help..JUST HAUL 'EM OFF TO JAIL! Just watched a 70 yr.old woman with Multiple Sclerosis threatened w/arrest & jail from her own property for refusing to identify with no RAS given by cop AND NO WARRANT! cops are just mean thugs w/GUNS!
The lady at the desk withholding the bad servants name is just as guilty as the liar. We need her name and information to file complaints on her as well. She is complicit and an enabler. Both of these horrible servants need to be fired and searching for a new job. Why would we want our brand new building being represented with garbage new building new servants
I absolutely loved it when he handed out that verbal ass whip by letting the superintendent know that he could take his complaint to the federal level and they could lose their grant money. She got that message real quick and gave her name up with the quickness

Yeah i i noticed that also. Plus when he first came out he rolled up a sleeve like he was ready to go hands on. Not a good public servant at all and needs to go find the job where he works around no humans because you can tell he's a hot head.
He absolutely refused to accept the fact that b a t was okay.
Glad you are back! Your quality is increasing along with your knowledge! Thank you so much! Be safe! Much love and appreciation! Awesome! 😅
Good job Mike! You are exactly the kind of person we as the public love to see providing service to us.👍👍👍 Sabina on the other hand……………..👎👎👎
Dude at the window is how all public servants should act. Well done Mike
mike is in jail LOL. love how all these auditors taste the bars.
the joke is on you :)
@@TimoBlacks Mike is the civil servant lol sometimes it's best to remain silent and thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
@@marvinkline5667 oh i thought you were talking about the camtrol guy behind the camera. that's whose in jail lol.
it is awesome how you stand up for the blind and illiterate keep up the awesome job, we need more people like you in this world.
It’s not just the blind and illiterate. It can also be people like me who resent being told to use a computer to do something. I’m in my sixties now and grew up in a time when people dealt with things person to person. I simply prefer to keep it like that.
@@bunpeishiratori5849 Or people who can't read stuff in short distances and forgot glasses, etc....
@@bunpeishiratori5849 Thats fine. In modern times, more productivity is available with computers. The school district encourages the use of computers. She did start to ask his name and number and he refused to give it. Keep in mind that by law, she had 10 days to provide the information requested. She didn't have to write it down for him at that time.
"it is awesome how you stand up for the blind and illiterate keep up the awesome job, we need more people like you in this world."
I would have more respect if BAT actually brought a blind or illiterate person along to demonstrate first hand the challenges these people have. Otherwise he comes across like a Ken (male version of a Karen). Which he usually does.
@mrsniffwell7736 lol try again..."if readily available..." bet you don't wanna finish that concept, do you? 😊😂
Mike at the desk is a highly respectible Man. Good on ya friend keep shinning like the star you are.
Rockstar Mike put on a clinic! I had no idea such professionalism existed. He may have just set the gold standard.
Clown Larry..."what's happening ese?" Real professional. LMAO the way he froze like a statue mid pose when the other guy said he watches your vids.
Boss lady is dodging hard, security should be fired
That first guy is a creep.
I got the same feeling and funny how many comments praise his professional demeanor and to those people just prepare some bad news from your kids one day if you trust people like that or maybe look up the name Francis Sheldon for starters.
With THAT moustache! Total creeper!
C'mon their building's parking lot monitor is first class. Love the way he has his arms folded and how the sun is baking the top of his skull.
Dude taking the request is great very polite very respectful
Thanks!
Well done Mike!! We need more Mike’s in the our public sector space
In the space of just a few short years we have gone from the customer is always right to call the police, as a means of interaction.
No, this has been going on for decades. We didn’t have cameras to prove anything in the past.
"In the space of just a few short years we have gone from the customer is always right to call the police, as a means of interaction."
BAT is not a customer. Other than a token transaction of the FOIA request, he never conducts official business. He's nothing more than a self style social media policeman. Plus I have never seen video footage of him actually engaging with employees like a normal human being: when was the last time he did conduct official business? When was the last time he fully identified himself, even if just by his first name? When was the last time he contacted a gov't facility and offered to give a seminar on 1A rights and working with the public? Like a professional consultant would do?
These mickey mouse tactics he uses would be almost laughable if he didn't have the support of so many gullible followers and legal backup. But then one could say the same thing about mafioso types. He basically has the perfect extortion gig.
@@JohnSmith-ji2ys Get away from me with your long winded witchcraft, you devil.
You must have not watched many of his videos. His first name is Jay. He gives it out all the time. This is more about the way public employees treat the public. If us as US citizens want to be rude we can. A lot of us just choose not to be. When they are being paid by tax dollars. They have to deal with all different types of people so they need thick skin. Most of his videos just show authoritarian ownership of publicly funded buildings /employees. This isn't about us citizens. It's about the way we are treated and looked at. It's not that hard to understand Mr. Fake TH-cam name 😂@@JohnSmith-ji2ys ask yourself this. Why do people like you struggle with accountability so much?

"You must have not watched many of his videos. His first name is Jay. He gives it out all the time. "
That's really interesting because I watched the whole video (again) just to confirm my suspicion. At the following time stamps they specifically request his name and he expressly refuses to give it: 13:21 13:37 18:20 21:28. CAN he refuse to give it? Of course. But in your comment you state "He gives it out all the time". Well he doesn't here.
"This is more about the way public employees treat the public. If us as US citizens want to be rude we can. A lot of us just choose not to be. When they are being paid by tax dollars. They have to deal with all different types of people so they need thick skin."
Sure if you want to be rude you can. The problem is just because something is possible or legal to do doesn't mean it is beneficial or won't have some consequences in the long run. It is absolutely legal to be rude to my boss if I want to be. But I won't have a job for long. There's a saying I read years ago: "You give attitude, you get attitude". What you give to the universe, the universe gives back. You want to be an entitled, condescending jerk to the public employees and expect them to smile and be pleasant back? Good luck.
"Most of his videos just show authoritarian ownership of publicly funded buildings /employees. "
I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading this. I could get into the whole "limited public forum" discussion and the rights of the local head to restrict freedom of speech per the nature of the facility, but that's a whole topic.
" It's not that hard to understand Mr. Fake TH-cam name @JohnSmith-ji2ys "
Ahh... Another ad hominem attack. Nice. And so your real name is @aday_the_great then?
"Why do people like you struggle with accountability so much? Anyone with integrity or a clear conscience will openly welcome a camera in their face. Not hide under a desk like some of these people."
Oh the irony!!!! Mr. BAT never identifies himself or the specific nature of his story. From what I understand he always wears sunglasses, a gator, cap, non-descript clothing, etc. Talk about hiding!!! He makes demands on the employees to go way above and beyond the call of duty. And that's not to mention the call flooding and harassment the employees receive that inevitably follows because someone refuses to give that smile he so richly deserves, so he's going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget and put them on blast !!!
Mr. BAT apparently must come from royalty. Why can't these employees see that they need to act like a maitre d' at a high end restaurant or a concierge at the embassy suites?
People need to stop saying, "Public employees don't understand." It's giving them the benefit of the doubt when they shouldn't be getting it.
If you accidentally violate the law, nobody will give you the benefit of the doubt. It is presumed to be willful. Government agents should be held to no lower a standard.
If their is no excuse for the public who pay the bills then it MUST be the same for all irrelevant to their own personal status as a god of governance of humanity above all others
@@FreeUkraine69 Huh?!? 😒
Well put! Agree totally!
BAT isn’t holding them accountable- he’s just griping when he doesn’t get treated exactly how he wants. When he leaves things to back to normal.
@@OlYables ..If he doesn't follow up then, yeah, the whole video in just an exercise in futility. I check back to see.
Mike seems like a great public servant so far!!! 👍💪
Another Great Job Sean. This Shows All Of Us Just How Much Our Public Servants Want To Be There To Help We The People.
I'd say that my man B.A.T is the most informed and educated auditor on TH-cam. Always impressed by the knowledge he's able to spit whenever he's being grilled. Good one brother
They guy taking your records request was probably the most professional I've seen. Let's give him kudos.
👏
❤
🎉🎉🎉
12th grade Government class was difficult for some.
The Constitution thingy...
The ARRAGONANCE of our public employees has always been a problem!
...They all seem to be sooo ignorant but maintain an entitled attitude, wrongly assuming calling dangerous men with guns to handle whatever it is they don't understand. AND they get paid very, very well to insult the Public constantly! Despicable behavior!! DEI is part of the cancer!
I agree..I think it's because no one has checked them on it. So even they don't really know what's up...anyways it's funny
"The ARRAGONANCE of our public employees has always been a problem!"
The arrogance of BAT is a problem as well. Just because you CAN abuse your 1A rights and agitate pubic employees doesn't mean you should.
Btw, I'd love to see if he actually gets the FOIA request for the photo granted. If nothing else if I was the employee I would hire a lawyer. If you want to weaponize your camera against employees they will return the favor.
@@JohnSmith-ji2ys Nobody has mentioned that he stretched the truth quite a bit when talking to the superintendent. He was never told no, nor did he directly ask to see the superintendent.

"Nobody has mentioned that he stretched the truth quite a bit when talking to the superintendent. He was never told no, nor did he directly ask to see the superintendent."
Yes. I would have to review the video (again!!), but that's probably true. As I think I have mentioned in other comments, these videos are carefully edited to create a narrative. And BAT, just like any other frauditor, will say certain things that are partially true and at best misleading. Especially when it comes to explaining the law. His power comes from taking advantage of the ignorance of the employees, the managers, the police, etc. Not to mention I think he selectively focuses on more rural areas that don't have funding to fight him legally. The guy is very smart, I'll give him credit. And it can take months or years to change laws and policy, while BAT can pivot on a dime. The laws need to be changed to address this kind of extortion activity. They need to get the state DA involved, and perhaps even the FBI.
I think you do a really great job! That's why I subscribed
That guy Mike is AWESOME! Should be commended for his professionalism.
BAT BABY! We out here lettin these entitled tyrants know what it is and what it ain’t one video at a time!!!
Damn straight!
What’s good TTA family. Oh wait
It always starts with them being nosy and ends with the ego. Every single video. Lol
They’re just giving back what they’re getting. BAT is a complete diva with unrealistic demands.
@@OlYables John Baer, and your a troll. What do you think?
@@OlYables Protecting literally every single American their rights is not a bad thing tbh.

Bay Area my Man. Your videos and content are awesome. Love your work bro. Can't wait till your next video comes out. Take care and God bless you 👍👍
So glad you're still out there fighting for our rights, educating us, and educating everyone else! Thanks for ALL you do! "We've only been open two days." No doubt the building is new, but I'd check that out. It seems too convenient.
Mike is a true professional. KUDOS to him for being a fantastic public employee.
At the end the Superintendent knew her staff had stepped deeply into it but who's ultimately responsible for their lack of training leading to their ignorance ? Their supervisors and ultimately the Superintendent .
...Stubborn attitudes & Ignorance can/will cost Taxpayers a lot of money. Don't understand why Civil Servants are paid sooo much money when their such a Liability to Taxpayin' Citizens?...
Mike was a pleasant surprise. Seems he is aware of audits AND the peoples rights.
Thanks
This is the best first Amendment channel I have watched. This dude knows the law and confidently expresses it in the face of imminent danger surrounded by hostile cops without a crack in his voice or showing a scintilla of fear then aggressively puts the tyrants in their place. I learned a lot from him.
There was actually some people in this video that did a great job.. seems they’re learning
Thousands of government agencies and departments still need to learn.
Some learn and are fine with serving us. Some learn, but hate it.
The painting that is on the wall is gorgeous
I thought that painting was amazing! I wonder if it was a student project, or a pro artist.🤷♂️
OMG , repaint it , the poor eyes of them damn hands that feeds us saw it !
Closing see through gates. Brilliant.
@carlosfandango6255, the uneducated fool closed and locked the gates to a public access parking area. PRICELESS ignorance.
I live in new Zealand, you're the first auditor I saw long ago and I still follow with great interest, I'd love to see when police don't properly identify the auditor immediately call 911 in front of them and report them for impersonating an officer because obviously a real cop would identify as per policy right! So we should assume they are a fake cop in full costume...also would love to see a silent auditor print out and LITERALLY STAND ON THE CONSTITUTION, see how that plays out....
The guy at the desk is more than happy to get the complaint and public records of that guy. Speaks volume on that guy
Wow a public worker who respects the public and knows how to do his job the right way!
and BAT was still shitty towards him the first half of the convo

Straight up strength. Awesome to see you making horrible, ungrateful, public workers accountable.
*My grandfather has severe macular degeneration of both eyes…. He is able to live for the most part normally, he just cannot see people’s faces, he can’t read at all, he can’t drive, he cannot see far away whatsoever, and he needs reading glasses to see anything up close, but still cannot read. He is able to walk around and look like he can see just fine to people who don’t know (he has mastered this over 20+ years of having the disease). He even works full time and most of the people he works with do not know he cannot see for shit. He cannot use a computer…. Every time I see a public employee refuse to give someone information, like in the end of this video, it makes me think of him and just get furious. If he walked up to the front desk and asked if they could provide him with someone’s name, ect. They need to just do it. He should not have to explain that he is mostly blind to everyone in the fucking room, that is his private medical information… and he personally refuses to disclose that like whatsoever. If that happened to him he would just say okay and leave and never get the information he needed, I know him too well. Same for when a member of the public asks for the employee to take the public records request verbally. They should just say okay yeah no problem, let me get a piece of paper to write it down for you. Nobody should have to go back and forth with them, or beg them to do so, to where you get to the point you end up having to tell them I am fucking blind out of frustration for everyone in the lobby to hear. That is literally the damn reason why the law is written that way. This also infuriates me when police officers point to their badge and say “Right Here” when asked their information, for the exact same reason. He would never be able to see that even if they walked up close to him and pointed it out. JUST SAY THE FUCKING NAME ANS BADGE NUMBER. Is it really that difficult? Nobody should have to disclose their personal medical information out loud like that. Do you know how many people in this country are visually impaired? Millions. And there are hundreds of thousands of people who you would never know they are some level of visually impaired by just looking at them, or that they are not able to do certain things because of that. Some more so than others. It’s disgusting at best. How in the world are there no trainings at any police departments or offices of public services on people who may have a disability that might not be readily visible on the outside, or any other disability. How have they not read the damn FOIA law? Just once at least? I think of my grandpa every single time I see this in a video, and for all of the other people just like him. Disgusting.*
I couldn’t agree with you more. I get pissed when cop’s expect us to tell them our medical history. I wouldn’t, but if they cage me, I’ll demand medical services.
Guess what - your grandpa with a legitimate disability would be accommodated. But he’s not a guy in a mask and sunglasses arguing and insulting people for a video.
Same as my grandma, it's annoying AF that people have become so numb to someone who needs help. Not all disabilities are visible.
..And dirty cops have no compulsion to actually HELP or get them mental help..JUST HAUL 'EM OFF TO JAIL! Just watched a 70 yr.old woman with Multiple Sclerosis threatened w/arrest & jail from her own property for refusing to identify with no RAS given by cop AND NO WARRANT! cops are just mean thugs w/GUNS!
Brilliant comment!!!
Sheeeeeeessshhhh!!!! That was crazy at the end. Just brushing everything off like nobody did you dirty 😡😡
Take their federal grant money
The lady at the desk withholding the bad servants name is just as guilty as the liar. We need her name and information to file complaints on her as well. She is complicit and an enabler. Both of these horrible servants need to be fired and searching for a new job. Why would we want our brand new building being represented with garbage new building new servants
Great comment!
I agree. She was horrible. The absolute worst.
At 28:40 minute mark or so,
Gina seems to be her name.
Funny how she had everyone's info on a sheet of paper under her notebook. Could of just lifted that and given all information.

I'll bet the door was not supposed to be propped open and was done so because they were still moving stuff in.
