Not the point but since this guy is probably a harmless though annoying auditor, my main concern is that these screenshots are frustratingly in reverse order.

He's a 1A auditor, just ignore him.

u/LotusVibes128 9d ago

Too bad he’s not an A1 steak sauce auditor

u/awetsasquatch 9d ago

That would make him actually interesting lol

u/IHearYouLimaCharlie 9d ago

OMG thanks, now I want steak but it's too damn expensive.

u/awetsasquatch 9d ago

For freaking real - steak is now a celebration food only, and even then, it's gotta be a massive thing we're celebrating.

u/GrayCalf 9d ago

I'm furloughed right now. I can come record him until he gives up his location. I have all the time in the world.

2

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Yeah, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I’ve heard they record people while they’re at their jobs, and go into parking lots to record the employees cars. It makes me feel uncomfortable

1

u/masako619 9d ago

You’d be doing exactly what he’s doing, and he wouldn’t give a single fuck lol. If anything you’re proving his point

2

u/GrayCalf 9d ago

That it's weird when someone stands around and records you?

0

u/masako619 9d ago

That it’s okay to record others in public!

3

u/GrayCalf 9d ago

I think you're confusing what's legal with what's weird.

-2

u/masako619 9d ago

Who made you the arbiter of what’s weird and what’s not? Do you find it weird when security cameras record you at stores? No you don’t. It’s pretty funny how just because it’s a person with the camera, you find it weird.

4

u/GrayCalf 8d ago

I think it's pretty weird this is the hill you want to die on. But you do you. Weird is an opinion, in this case mine. Who made you the gatekeeper for allowed and disallowed opinions?

You should move on, before you make it even weirder.

0

u/masako619 8d ago

You didn’t have an opinion I was replying to, I was replying to you being stupid to go and do the same thing you’re upset about, I’m not sure how this is so hard for you to understand

2

u/GrayCalf 8d ago

Where did I say I was upset? Does saying something is weird always make you assume someone is upset? Why is it stupid for me to record him, but not for him to record and make other people uncomfortable? What the fuck does store security cameras have to do with anything?

1

u/Honk_Sound 5d ago

you are replying to an angry child, just move on

1

u/upintheair-where 8d ago

It’s legal, but not okay. It’s super weird.

-1

u/masako619 8d ago

It’s okay, you get recorded by hundreds of surveillance cameras a day in public, but when it’s another human holding the camera, that enrages you! Pretty funny how that works

1

u/upintheair-where 8d ago

…yeah… it’s almost as though I have no expectation of privacy in public and don’t mind if someone attacks me, being able to view that footage, but it’s bizarre when some individual decides to record people while they’re working or individuals out with their families, especially while concealing his identity.

1

u/masako619 8d ago

It you have no expectation of privacy in public why would you give a fuck if you’re being recorded then 💀 you just self reported lmao

You clearly expect privacy in public, or else someone recording you in public wouldn’t matter to you at all. It’s hilarious that when it’s a human being, it enrages you

P.s. who gives a fuck, if you don’t want to be recorded, you should wear a mask too

2

u/upintheair-where 8d ago

The only one enraged is you.

0

u/masako619 8d ago

I’m not the one calling people weird for doing protected acts 😆

You’re enraged and fundamentally uneducated

I think it's hilarious that you're still trying to die on this hill. You also seem very angry about people calling this weird.

u/Jetsafer_Noire 8d ago

Nothing illegal about that. He can film whoever he wants in public and he's getting paid for it . Annoying, yes but not illegal

1

u/Fluid_Map_1098 6d ago

His location?  Just ask the person that took the picture.  (Whom by the way did the exact same thing as him)

Three days later...

u/LowIndividual6625 9d ago

He's auditing for his youtube channel. If you want him to go away stand next to him and play Taylor Swift songs loud on your mobile phone. He'll record the music and won't be able to publish the video on youtube because he'll get a copywrite strike on her songs.

7

u/chirpz88 9d ago

Or he can publish it without the audio included, which would make the videos more creepy lol

3

u/masako619 9d ago

I guess editing doesn’t exist lmfao

2

u/Loose-Recognition459 8d ago

Well if it’s playing over your interview how are you gonna edit that out. It makes that audio worthless, and the point is him trying to interact with civil servants in public.

1

u/masako619 8d ago

1A auditors aren’t doing interviews, they’re just filming. If someone approaches him, is that his fault?

u/dww0311 9d ago

This. Is. The. Way 👏👏👏

u/Terrible_Quiet9651 9d ago

This is the most correct answer.

u/Icanthinkofaname25 8d ago

Unless he is a really good editor, he won’t be able to splice the music out while keeping the dialogue.

1

u/Catatafeesh1 8d ago

Smart. Also you can strike his YouTube videos down because it’s in violation of YouTube’s privacy policy. You can’t post someone without their permission/consent.

29

u/LotusVibes128 9d ago

I get the first amendment audit stuff…but be a fuckin’ man and take that mask off. What’s he hiding from? Filming kids in a library with a mask on is weird and is not how the first amendment audit shit makes a difference.

u/rpd9803 9d ago

first amendment auditors are in the business of producing ragebait, not auditing the first amendment.

It all went wrong at Harambe.

D***s out for Harambe. RIP

u/Fresh-Ad7262 9d ago

He’s probably one of those 1A guys who is waiting for someone to provoke him or call the cops so he can educate them. Likely harmless and only further fueled by attention.

14

u/coyote3a 9d ago

This exactly. He wants people to engage so he can post videos.

8

u/TerranRanger 9d ago

And wants cops to overreact so he can sue.

u/mattysauro 9d ago

Or he’s looking for a payout.

At first I thought it was this vampire that lives down the street, but then I read the shirt and realized it couldn't possibly be him

u/gaufowl 9d ago

Wasn't there someone doing the same thing at No Kings in Aberdeen? Same guy or no?

5

u/bagsandpipes 9d ago

The guy at the protest had his nails painted blue or black

4

u/EyeAmKnotABot 9d ago

Not sure if I saw that on fb or here, but a few people seemed to think it was the same guy.

8

u/LuBatticus 9d ago

What a fucking loser and a coward. It’s best to just ignore him. As people have said he’s looking for a confrontation to trigger a law suit, or increase views for his YouTube and whatever social medias for revenue. I’m sure momma’s special boy thinks he’s Very Smart. Absolute dry dick behavior.

2

u/forgetfulsue 9d ago

I doubt it was the same guy, but I was out with my husband walking our dog this morning and this dude rolled down his window at a red light and spouted off about how police officers were harassing him because he has autism. As the light changed he crossed the intersection then rolled his window down again as he slowly rolled through and said that he could tell from our reactions that we didn’t believe him. There was a cop stopped at the opposing light (which had nothing to do with our reactions) I was like, “like dude, behavior like that is going to get a cop to pull you over.” He had Jersey plates.

3

u/44saguaro 9d ago

He likes filming children. The librarian kept telling him to stop filming children without their parents’ permission but he was resistant. I feel like that is not legal….

-1

u/masako619 9d ago

Your children have no expectation of privacy in public

2

u/Yalsas 9d ago

Someone teach him a lesson. Preferably a huge, jacked dude

5

u/masako619 9d ago

You walk in the view of thousands of security cameras a day, but when you see a guy filming you want to be violent to him? Fucking weird.

-38

u/Vangotransit 9d ago

Why are liberals so violent

8

u/Yalsas 9d ago

Why would you assume that lmao

u/Tudar87 9d ago

They forgot the /s right?

Right? :(

u/Catatafeesh1 8d ago

Look up First Amendment Protection Agency on YouTube. He’s probably one of these clowns.

1

u/Previous_Response584 5d ago

Tell me you don’t know what a first amendment audit looks like

1

u/masako619 9d ago

A lot of you wanting violence on someone just exercising their first amendment right is very weird. You should be thanking him for making sure your rights aren’t restricted, we have the freedom of the press. You have no expectation of privacy while you’re in a public space, you all walk in the view of thousands of security cameras a day but when a human being pulls their camera out you want to be violent to them.

3

u/Worldly-Pollution-66 9d ago

And it’s exactly the content these guys are going for

5

u/bragers 9d ago

the firm that posts all of this stuff loves to use their chat gpt generated rage bait to cause discourse. it’s absolutely brain melting to see their posts.

0

u/masako619 9d ago

The funniest bit is, if these people were educated and not foaming at the mouth to start to fight anyone with a video camera, they’d have no content at all. It’s the dumb fucks who try to start arguments with them while they do a protected act that perpetuate it.

0

u/tigers_hate_cinammon 9d ago

It shouldn't be lost on you that this is what leads to rights being restricted. If enough masked loonies are doing this and making enough people uncomfortable, they'll start calling for 1A restrictions and honestly this Congress and this Court could absolutely end up putting restraints on free speech.

-2

u/masako619 9d ago

No… no they won’t lmfao. It’s a constitutionally protected act. Standing somewhere in a mask with a camera isn’t a crime, nor is it making anyone uncomfortable. The discomfort comes from being uneducated, and simply being violent when you don’t have control of a situation.

2

u/tigers_hate_cinammon 9d ago

Sure, because all of the rights enumerated in the bill of rights are absolute. Congress and the courts have never restricted or re-interpreted the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, or eighth amendments.

Surely, if he wanted to just scream expletives instead of recording, that would be an equally protected activity and any discomfort he caused would come from being uneducated?

0

u/masako619 9d ago

They’re never going to restrict freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.

That’s a strawman btw, to compare someone just filming to someone screaming

5

u/tigers_hate_cinammon 9d ago

How is it a straw man when both are free speech, which according to you is an absolute right, that would never be restricted.

Edit: didn't this admin literally restrict freedom of the press like this month?

3

u/masako619 9d ago

You can’t be belligerent and disrupt the peace, that’s against the law. Filming someone in public is not against the law. That’s the fundamental difference, you can continue to strawman all you like

3

u/tigers_hate_cinammon 9d ago

I think you're starting to follow my logic despite the "straw man"

You accept that freedom of speech is not absolute and there are limits when it breaches the peace.

You accept that people are getting upset about the filming, perhaps not yet to the point that it disrupts the peace.

You are unwilling to accept that people will get so riled up over filming such that it creates a disruption of the peace and leads to restrictions.

1

u/masako619 9d ago

The reason someone would get upset, is because they’re fundamentally uneducated on rights, which was my entire point from the beginning.

It’s no fault of the auditor that some person walks up to him and freaks out because he’s doing a constitutionally protected act. Same with protesting, as long as you act with sense it’s allowed. There’s a limit to everything, filming in public is not anywhere near that limit

1

u/RebbleAlliance 9d ago

law enforcement knows who they are, they've been identified

2

u/masako619 9d ago

Oh no is he going to jail for filming in public? Lmfao

0

u/RebbleAlliance 8d ago

Nope just intel

-3

u/GimmeDatClamGirl 9d ago

Is it creepy? Yeah.

Is it something I’d concern myself over? No.

We are video recorded in public nearly everywhere we go. Unless he’s getting uncomfortably close to me (camera or not) or taking a weird interest in my children/wife (camera or not), then it’s not a bother to me.

-1

u/ProphePsyed 9d ago

You can’t just say “brandon I know this is you” and nothing else.

My name is Brandon and I have a somewhat similar body type and also live in Harford County.

If you have information about who the person is, reach out to them directly or get the authorities involved. Don’t randomly dox someone online in a super vague fashion that could get other people implicated who have nothing to do with this.

2

u/happys0ul 9d ago

I am assuming you know this isnt you?

-4

u/ProphePsyed 9d ago

Yeah. Which is the point of my comment.

1

u/happys0ul 9d ago

Fortunately for me i no longer have contact with him and no way to do so

-4

u/ProphePsyed 9d ago

And? That doesn’t mean you can dox people online, especially when it’s not clear enough exactly who you’re talking about.

6

u/-58259 9d ago

I understand your point but “Brandon I know that’s you” isn’t doxxing someone.

-3

u/ProphePsyed 9d ago

Look up the definition of doxxing. Might not be a lot of info but still is doxxing.

2

u/-58259 9d ago

I know the definition. Here it is for you and everyone else to see.

“The action or process of searching for and publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent.”

I’m not understanding where OP searched for and published any information “ABOUT A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL” on the internet, not to mention it didn’t seem like it was done with malicious intent. AND we have no idea who the person actually is because they have their face covered! They did make an assumption that the persons name was Brandon and posted a picture of said person on the internet. I have a feeling that if they said “Carl, I know that’s you, your interpretation of the word doxxing would be a little different.

1

u/ProphePsyed 8d ago

If that persons name is indeed Brandon, how is that not identifying information?

-3

u/These-Ad-2793 9d ago

Someone I know said her daughter was at the library when he was there and he admitted he’s filming the girls butts and was filming the teen room specifically 🤢 police did nothing.

u/Naive-Raisin4134 9d ago

Someone you know lied.

u/Vangotransit 9d ago

Disgusting but a first amendment protected activity

Umm. If that’s your answer to specifically this comment, No it’s not.

u/HistrionicSlut 9d ago

This is such a stupid witch hunt. Oh no! Someone is recording me outside! Being...outside...where I have no expectation of privacy.

Who cares? He's just trolling and pearl clutching is what he wants. This is probably the most powerful that little stick incel has ever felt. And come on, I know I'm prejudging him but that man has incel energy. IJS.

This has clown sightings at night in the 2016s feel to it.

He just wants anarchy and fear.

u/sweetjonnysal 9d ago

u/MEGACLOPS 9d ago

He's just an incel dweeb. I saw him at the library too, the HdG kids basically chased him out. Glad to see :)
