In this week’s Flightless Bird, David and Rob meet Betsy, a librarian who one day found herself being harassed by a “First Amendment Auditor” - a man in a hoodie badgering her endlessly for her name, salary and employment details. After calling the police, she discovered they could do nothing - and Betsy’s footage was uploaded for 100,000 people calling for her dismissal, and arrest. Farrier interviews Kristina Wilson and Kristi Nickodem, both experts in Public Law and Government, to find out what the hell was going on - and to see what someone like Betsy can do when confronted by this very unusual subculture of insufferable YouTubers.Email us: flightlessbirdchat@gmail.com Patreon: <a href="http://patreon.com/flightlessbird">patreon.com/flightlessbird</a> Dealing with Harassment and Threats Towards Local Government Officials and Employees: <a href="https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2022/07/dealing-with-harassment-and-threats-towards-local-government-officials-and-employees/">https://canons.sog.unc.edu/2022/07/dealing-with-harassment-and-threats-towards-local-government-officials-and-employees/</a> Responding to First Amendment Auditors: <a href="https://www.sog.unc.edu/sites/default/files/reports/2022-11-09%2020220124%20LGLB%20141.pdf">https://www.sog.unc.edu/sites/default/files/reports/2022-11-09%2020220124%20LGLB%20141.pdf</a> Coates’ Canons NC Local Government Law: <a href="https://canons.sog.unc.edu/?s=%22responding+to+first+amendment+audits%22">https://canons.sog.unc.edu/?s=%22responding+to+first+amendment+audits%22</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
