First Amendment Auditors, what is your opinion of them? I've gained a great deal of respect for Americans by watching them operate.

Some know the law and politely explain it to police as they refuse ID

Others provoke a confrontation and are intentionally rude and insulting to police trying to provoke them

Yes, manufacture drama for clickbait, others to educate and hold police accountable. I've seen both. I prefer the American ones because they sound generally educated and informed. I watch some of the Canadians ones simply because they are local outfits but both the cops AND the auditors seem like neanderthals compared to many of the American sourced videos. At the very least in the U.S the auditors know that bad police behavior could cost the officers their job and/or a civil court case while in Canada I've seen multiple instances where police dont care and they knows.the auditor wont be able to find a lawyer because the courts and politiicians also dont care. It's why so many risk their lives to get into America, true freedom and opportunity. You've created a real system of justice and accountability.

One thing I will say is that Americans cherish their freedoms and they go to great lengths to express them. I've seen officers act professional in the face of verbal abuse and I respect that, they should have low blood pressure.

There are instances when I am sure the officer was going to go off but the camera in his face probably prevented them from doing so. There are some instances when the officer did go over the line, sometimes losing their jobs and I have to wonder "how many times and to what extend did they react violently to others who did NOT have a camera rolling"?

I'd recommend Long Island Audit, and KULT News.

Some others just act like jerks and even though they are right about their rights, I find them obnoxious.

It's crazy, I just found out that the Long Island guy was charged with a relatively serious crime in 2013 and was incarcerated.

Now he is making a living by educating and winning court battles. It is interesting to note how authorities shift their approach once they realize they are being recorded.

He seems reasonable I suppose though I haven't watched too many videos.

Your Constitution would be the biggest reason the U.S would not accept Canada as a state. Trump would demand it I'm sure and so would many Canadians. You would be on the losing end of any deal in which you would broaden economic fluency while allowing the same covert activities in U.S corporations.
