3 /5 Emily Baldwin: I dont have any personal experience with this agency. I do support our First Amendment Rights and while I do appreciate the auditors that spend their time educating and making sure our Rights are upheld I believe it can be done in a respectful way. I watched the YT video pertaining to this particular business/public sidewalk being filmed by an auditor (he is very good at what he does and I appreciate the videos he shares on his YT channel.) However, this particular encounter with the lady kind of gave me the creeps. It was the fact that he was just standing there with his camera filming her through the window and it was like he was a "peeping Tom." It would probably freak me out a little bit if I were in her shoes especially, if I was the only one in the office (there was possibly 1 more.) There were no blinds she could put down. There was nothing she could do to escape the feeling of being uncomfortable. She has a history and unless you know her you dont know what shes been through in life. Has she ever been stalked before or in a bad relationship? All I know is with that particular audit it came across a little creepy and like he was a "peeping Tom." I think he could have walked back in forth on the sidewalk stopping briefly every once in awhile or to sit on the bench. The LE officer clearly was in the wrong and Im glad he learned his lesson...I at least hoped he learned his lesson. The sidewalk is def. public property and thats not difficult to understand. I hope the lady understands that to and I think she knew but, just wanted him to leave the area. You should not judge this business, lady, or auditor based on this one encounter. I do however, am concerned how the LE officer doesnt know the law and that is why I appreciate auditors like this one. I put three stars to simply be neutral.
