First Amendment Audit

Not all first amendment audit videos are the same. Amagansett Press (with father Jason and his son Ben) are exceptionally well done. Some auditors are out to create unnecessary drama.


On Feb. 24, 2020, a YouTube channel called Amagansett Press posted a 51-minute video of a man and his son entering the post office on a “First Amendment audit” to test their right to “take video and photographs in public and from publicly accessible places.” After police asked the man filming inside the post office to desist and leave the premises, the man threatened legal action, and the town of Silverthorne, Colorado, eventually agreed to pay a $9,500 settlement, as per Summit Daily News, a local newspaper serving Summit County, Colorado.
