The interaction captured in today’s John Ligato Show highlights a common theme among certain confrontational individuals known as "auditors" or self-proclaimed defenders of constitutional rights. What often starts as an assertion of personal rights can quickly spiral into chaos, particularly when the person in question believes they are immune to legal authority. Breaking Down the Situation: Initial Engagement: The confrontation begins when officers attempt to execute an arrest warrant for the suspect, who immediately denies any wrongdoing. His repeated claims of having been assaulted, coupled with his insistence on filming the encounter, are classic tactics used to gain sympathy and deflect responsibility. Use of Live Streaming: Auditors often resort to live streaming interactions with law enforcement, as if this provides them with some form of shield. They believe that broadcasting the encounter will deter police from using force or violating rights. However, the reality is that it does not negate the legal obligations of the officers or protect the individual from consequences. Escalation and Threats: The suspect’s insistence that he’ll defend himself with "any and all means necessary" only serves to heighten the tension. Threats of violence—even if not followed through—can and will be taken seriously by law enforcement, especially when dealing with individuals who have demonstrated erratic or aggressive behavior. Misguided Claims of Self-Defense: Throughout the interaction, the suspect claims he has a right to defend himself, implying that he’s a victim rather than a suspect. Yet, in legal terms, self-defense does not apply when resisting lawful arrest, particularly one supported by a judicial warrant. His behavior actually strengthens the case against him, demonstrating a lack of compliance and posing a potential threat. Attempted Escape and Endangerment: The most concerning part is when the suspect chooses to flee, leading armed officers to his own home where his family is present. This not only puts his loved ones in danger but also places officers in a precarious situation. By bringing the conflict to his doorstep, the individual heightens the risk of an already volatile scenario turning deadly. The Purpose of an Arrest Warrant: Arrest warrants are not issued lightly. They are judicial commands, not suggestions, based on probable cause and sworn testimony. When a person is accused of making terroristic threats, especially against law enforcement, officers have a duty to act, regardless of whether the suspect believes they are innocent. Key Wording in Warrants: "Commanded forthwith to arrest the above individual defendant and bring him before me." This language emphasizes the urgency and necessity of the arrest, leaving no room for negotiation or delay. Closing Thoughts: Today's episode provides a stark reminder of the risks officers face when dealing with non-compliant and potentially dangerous individuals. The suspect's repeated defiance, insistence on his innocence, and use of his family as a shield highlight the complex and unpredictable nature of these encounters. Stay tuned for Part Two to see how this high-stakes situation unfolds.

Auditor Leads Police On High Speed Escape
It’s clear that this new wave of self-proclaimed First Amendment auditors often exhibit behavior that borders on bullying. Their confrontations with police and public officials reveal classic traits of control, aggression, and a desire to assert power, even in non-threatening situations. Here’s a breakdown of these behaviors: Characteristics of Auditor Bullies: Domineering and Controlling Nature Auditors take pleasure in controlling interactions, giving commands to law enforcement, and pushing boundaries to feel dominant. They display behavior rooted in fear of vulnerability, aiming to mask their weaknesses. Low Self-Esteem Many of these bullies derive self-worth from belittling others. Their harsh language and refusal to cooperate are often rooted in past experiences of feeling insignificant or powerless. Impulsive Actions and Lack of Self-Control Their actions are fueled by emotions, leading to impulsive, aggressive outbursts. These bullies lack emotional regulation and quickly escalate situations. False Sense of Self-Importance Auditors exhibit an inflated view of their own importance, demanding respect and authority from public servants, as if they are above the law. Their behavior often reflects an exaggerated self-image. Intentional Aggression and Harassment They deliberately provoke officers, using hostile language and gestures to elicit reactions. This aggression is carefully planned to undermine the authority of public servants. Example Scenarios: Auditor: "What's your name and badge number? You’re a servant! Tell me now, or are you too much of a coward?" Officer: "Sir, I need you to calm down and move aside for safety reasons." Auditor: "Don’t tell me what to do! You work for me!" In these situations, auditors often test the patience of officers, exploiting the constraints of the justice system, where officers must uphold citizens' rights to free speech. The auditors' disrespectful behavior and language are protected, but there are boundaries. When they cross into criminal acts like trespassing or physical interference, consequences are warranted. Why Cameras Make It Worse: The presence of cameras emboldens these bullies. They hide behind their recording devices, believing the camera grants them invincibility. Their behavior becomes more confrontational and outlandish when they know they have an audience. Final Thoughts: Auditors often justify their behavior by claiming to protect constitutional rights, but their tactics resemble those of classic bullies, using intimidation and aggression rather than genuine activism. While free speech is a vital right, there is a line between exercising it and abusing it to harass and undermine public officials. So that’s my take on it. What’s yours?

Frauditors Are All Bullies, But Only With A Camera
Welcome to the John Ligato Show. I'm John Ligato. Today, we're covering a controversial trend among so-called First Amendment auditors: filming at schools. The goal? They claim it’s a constitutional exercise. But many question the real intentions behind filming elementary schools and children. Let's break down a typical interaction and discuss the nuances of these situations. The Setup: Auditors approach schools, camera rolling, and insist on their constitutional right to film public property. They often engage school resource officers or staff in debates, claiming: "I have no ill intentions. I'm not filming kids, only the public areas." When challenged, they ramp up the rhetoric: "Show me the statute that says I can't be here!" School administrators and police officers, responsible for safeguarding children, must react quickly. But are they equipped to handle these provocations without jeopardizing school security? An Example of Confrontation: Officer: "Sir, please step aside so we can handle this safely." Auditor: "No, I’m fine right here. Are you forcing me to move? Is that a lawful order?" Officer: "I don’t know who you are, and my job is to protect these kids." Auditor: "You’re protecting them from a camera? That’s ridiculous." The officer patiently asks for identification. The auditor refuses, claiming his rights are being violated. Meanwhile, officers are pulled away from monitoring school safety, leaving other potential entry points vulnerable. This is where the Ask, Tell, Order approach should be applied: Ask: "Sir, please present your ID and state your purpose." Tell: "You must leave if you won’t comply." Order: "You are now under arrest for trespassing if you don’t leave." But in reality, as we saw at Robb Elementary, even slight lapses in vigilance can be catastrophic. Officers and school officials must act decisively to minimize distractions and keep schools secure. Understanding Trespassing Law: Many auditors argue that public schools are funded by taxpayers and, thus, are open to all. However, legally, schools are considered limited public forums, meaning access can be restricted for safety. Trespassing occurs when an individual refuses to leave after being asked to do so by an authorized person, like a principal or a police officer. Consider this legal framework: "A person shall not enter the premises of another without lawful authority after being forbidden by the owner or occupant." Schools have every right to enforce this, especially in today’s climate of school safety concerns. What Are the Real Consequences? Parents like Ashley Glock, whose children attend Monroe Primary, are understandably alarmed. She says: "We shouldn’t have to worry about people filming our kids under the guise of protecting constitutional rights." The auditors argue: "I'm peaceful and have no ill intentions." But intentions aside, schools have a duty to prioritize children's safety. Filming without a clear purpose only escalates tension. In the end, the law allows restrictions in sensitive areas like schools. The Supreme Court acknowledges that while free speech is protected, it doesn't grant unconditional access, especially where children’s safety is concerned. My Take: This isn't just a matter of free speech but one of balancing rights with public safety. Schools aren't public parks; they're places where vulnerable young people learn and grow. If auditors truly want to defend constitutional freedoms, perhaps they should choose their forums more carefully. Now, that's my take on it. What's yours?
