wow.. the city manager did a great job at the end and it takes a lot for some one to admit they were wrong, he and the chief were fantastic.. awesome video, keep up the great work..
Respect to the city manager for admitting when hes wrong. One of the first I've ever seen. Watching in support for all those upholding the constitution.
I just love when Big Russ and his lovely wife Lana go out together. They are the best couple doing audits right now. They are the cutest couple. Their my Beasties and always will be.
David Brooks used to be the principal at Carrollton High School, and he started there as a math teacher. He was notorious for giving his students a packet of worksheets in lieu of teaching each semester. However, everyone called him Coach Brooks because he was one of the many faculty members involved in athletics.
Dang good job man,.....you shined for sure. It took a good bit for the guy to admit he was wrong....actually surprised me that he did that. Thanks for sharing this with us. Greta job. I'll give them a pass....barely.
It always seems important that they feel like they can order you to "take a seat." I wonder if that's not their way of gauging some level of compliance.
City Halls across the United States of America are PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies. Journalists. May film/ record in public buildings.
there's a war in ukraine, soldiers and innocent people are dying every day, a bit of grace and understanding , that people's rights don't stop, because some public employees feel uncomfortable to do their job, that they get payed for ...
Why do so many public servants seem to think that they are only required to help citizens? Aren't they also required to help me if I am a citizen of India who is considering living in their jurisdiction for a period of time?
So, if you will allow for some corrections and comments: 1. You kept saying "Carroll County City Hall". This was Carrollton City Hall. The actual Carroll County government buildings were two streets over. 2. 'Signing In' does not violate your 4th Amendment rights (search and seizure). It's also not a violation of your 5th Amendment rights (Hiibel v. 6th District of Nevada - Supreme Court Case). In Hiibel, the Supreme Court stated the disclosure of your name is not a violation of the 5th Amendment. You were correct that you don't have to give it (via consent), though, without reasonable suspicion of a crime. If you consent, there's no violation. If they forcibly ID'd you, there would've been a violation. But voluntarily via consent signining is no violation. Deputy Chief Dobbs knew this, which is why he didn't ask you for your name and/or really impress on you to sign in at the front desk. 3. The building was the former Tabernacle Baptist Church of Carrollton, converted into City Hall. What you did not know was that if you walked upstairs, it was just 'archives and city records.' Some private documents, which is why you would have to sign in to go up there. On the other side of the door down the hallway that says "Staff" is the Police Department, so Dobbs asked you if you wanted a tour. So, half the building is the City Hall, and the other half is the Police and Fire Department. 4. You certainly have a right to film in there. I get the purpose of this. There were snarky attitudes on both sides.
Great job brother I just subscribed to you great content and you know what you're talking about we'll stay safe and keep up the good work bro Gary from West Virginia
It’s crazy how people freak out when taxpayers show up. 😂😂😂 Great job on the report. Glad you were able to flip that around. That is excellent communication skills. 👏👏👏
in 10,000 BC I am sure somebody guarding the cave said "oh no you cant make a drawing of our cave! you know with whats going on in the world today"...lol
Finally! You did one close to my home! I live in Carroll County (specifically city of Bremen) and I would love to see your interaction at Bremen City Hall, police department, etc. Love your work!
City Halls are public buildings. The U.S. Constitution-1st Amendment gives Journalists the Right to film in public. He holds Public Employees Accountable for their jobs. It is a U. S. Constitutional Right to film in public buildings and to film Employees as they go about their daily work.
With the things that are going on in the world today......bad things have been going on in the world forever. So tired of excuses for tying to get people arrested because they feel uncomfortable. Atleast he apologized.
This is upsetting. These public servants have a mentality that they somehow are better than the hard working individuals whose taxes go to pay these individuals and the buildings they occupy sad part is the some of these public servants make much more than some of the citizens who are barely making ends meet. It’s a total disaster.
I was born, raised, and still live in Carrollton. In fact the lofts(in the background) and adjacent to city hall is my former address. This video makes me very proud of our little town. Thanks for the audit. Now we know
I live in Carrollton and and am pleased when compared to damn near every single audit I’ve laid eyes on. People grow certain expectations and the employees are just people with personalities and have been withheld from understanding the difference between rights and benefits and privileges. What we need now if accountability for judges who testify, act as an attorney or testify from the bench. All too often we see judges asking discovery questions, not allowing certain evidence etc..
Where not out to sue everyone for everything. An education into the rights is much much better. However, some agencies do not seem to get and a law suit is the only way to get that point across.
Any Man that will step up like this Man did, I would call this a pass. C- maybe because of the uneducated staff. But I’m sure this will be talked about and educated among the staff.
⛔️⛔️SALUTE TO THE CITY MANAGER FOR ADMITTING HE WAS WRONG IVE NEVER SEEN ANY PUBLIC EMPLOYEE DO THAT GOOD JOB MR. MANAGER. LAME OF THE CHIEF FOR FOLLOWING HIM, SAD.
Its still a fail!! They're starting to catch on, but the mentality of their righteousness is alive and well! "Their building" The conversation at the end was awesome!! So satisfying, felt hopeful!! That is how it should be, from the start. Talking, listening, HEARING, understanding, paying attention....I understand the instinct to protect your staff (when people work together, y'all get to be a lil tribe) worry about protection, having concerns about what is going on, that's natural. So ask the questions and LISTEN to the answer, stop that panic and pay attention...this auditor was entirely respectful. Had they opened their ears & minds, maybe these "fails" will stop happening. We are all equal!! We all have the SAME rights!!
He gets the reactions from people not because he is doing something wrong but because people understand that criminals take footage and photos of places. I can’t believe he didn’t expect these reactions. More so look forward to the reactions for content. Again, there’s nothing wrong with what he does and he highlights how easy using the law criminals can setup crimes being done easier.
The city manager apologized ! That was amazing !
Well done sir ! ❤
I give the deputy chief credit, he forced himself to honor your rights, but he sure didn't want to. Yup, city manager is the man.
wow.. the city manager did a great job at the end and it takes a lot for some one to admit they were wrong, he and the chief were fantastic.. awesome video, keep up the great work..
Just found you but I already love you. Seeing you go back and say "Oh Maam, maam so I'm allowed to film in here and she just went quiet. Great work!
Respect to the city manager for admitting when hes wrong. One of the first I've ever seen. Watching in support for all those upholding the constitution.
It's frustrating how the majority of these public servants are uneducated... We really need to put these people through a couple classes and tests.
I agree. The hiring process should include being a public employee.
Most are probably smarter than you paco.
I just love when Big Russ and his lovely wife Lana go out together.
They are the best couple doing audits right now.
They are the cutest couple. Their my Beasties and always will be.

They make the cutest couple and are my besties.
They are just so cute together
It is not what this clown "ALLOWS", it is what he cannot "PROHIBIT"!
5:00 No matter how many times I see the laughing baby, I laugh.
Kudos to the Deputy Chief as well
The city manager really redeemed himself there at the end. Great job! Stay safe and God bless 🇺🇲
This dude was my high school principal LMFAO
Seriously. Which one?
@@georgiatransparency Carrollton
Don’t you just love Big Russ and his wife Lana with J town
Such great audit 🙂 nice to leave the place, after educating everyone, and even left with a handshake. Good city manager.
Love me some Lana and Big Russ
They are my neighbors
Those are definately not private offices. I know this is an old one. I will say that you have come a long way. Keep up the fight!!
Excellent job once again sir
Damn you are right. Real people admit if they are wrong, he did and we all can move along. Good audit!
It always seems important that they feel like they can order you to "take a seat." I wonder if that's not their way of gauging some level of compliance.
The Deputy Cheif of Police was very respectful. The city manager won me over at the end but the other employees 👎
A camera is like cryptonight to government workers!
Glad to see someone auditing Georgia! Keep up the good work!
Agreed, we need more auditors over here.
Lana and Big Russ are the best
I was in their wedding and drive them to the airport to leave on their honeymoon.
Love it and your work. Thanks for being a patriot. Go get em bub
Thank you it means a lot. This city manager actually admitted he was wrong and fixed the issue.
1st amendment definately covers berating
City Halls across the United States of America are PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution applies. Journalists. May film/ record in public buildings.
These public officials act like they are working in North Korea. Shame on them. Another great job by G.T.🤯🤯
there's a war in ukraine, soldiers and innocent people are dying every day, a bit of grace and understanding , that people's rights don't stop, because some public employees feel uncomfortable to do their job, that they get payed for ...
They're just people making 15 dollars an hour that dont want to be hassled by some dipshit who's trying to get youtube famous.
Why do so many public servants seem to think that they are only required to help citizens? Aren't they also required to help me if I am a citizen of India who is considering living in their jurisdiction for a period of time?
This is priceless! You really give the county sheriff's department in both Carroll and haralson county! I love it
i really admire your work sir...u do a great job
That was the most passive aggressive tour by public officials I've ever seen.

I live in Carrollton and just found this channel from my cousin. I love the work you’re doing brother. Keep it up 👍
I do personally respect the city manager for owning to his wrong. He should be mayor
Yes first time sometime saying he was wrong. I’m sure he’ll be a great city manager from now on. Respect
You should let them know that the Supreme Court has ruled that she can be recorded just in case she needs to be exposed for doing something wrong.
Corruption around for years, look at the top, managers wages. Well organized,,Well trained, our public servants. Thank you 😊 peace 👌 ✌️.
Great job brother I just subscribed to you great content and you know what you're talking about we'll stay safe and keep up the good work bro Gary from West Virginia

I love me some Big Russ and Lana the are just the best.
I went to their wedding and their my neighbors.
When she said “I don’t have to” I would of quickly said “you just did” 😊😂
Mr Brooks. I'm not going to allow you to film our building. Like it's his choice. Hahahahahajahaj
He told the receptionist his purpose and company name and still had an issue. So is there a corruption problem at this city hall?
in 10,000 BC I am sure somebody guarding the cave said "oh no you cant make a drawing of our cave! you know with whats going on in the world today"...lol
I would love to see you go to Villa Rica or Paulding County. They make their own laws
Great Audit! Respectful and respected.
Public Employees work for We, the People. FACT!
The city manager redeemed himself. Bravo.
So many people work for America but don't like it its pathetic
The claim and exercise of a Constitutional Right cannot be converted into a crime..
Pass ✔️
I love it when the arrogant learn how wrong they are
Glad to hear you say that..
👍......

You're headed in the right direction don't blow it.😁

Especially when one of them says we're going to get your ID and when they don't you can see that ego starting to deflate.
That was a great conversation... well done
City manager begins with "how the world is today"
*Well done! New sub from Costa Rica!*
Finally! You did one close to my home! I live in Carroll County (specifically city of Bremen) and I would love to see your interaction at Bremen City Hall, police department, etc. Love your work!
The disdain all these public servants have for the public and the people they work for is sickening. Fire the Mayor!!!
Great audit, I believe they have a city manager with integrity there....
5:10 money shot! great work

Honorable city manager👍🇺🇸

You should have pulled out a huge cross, blessed with holy water, and point it at them. Go in there with a mirror and see if they have reflections.
Thank you for your service
Definitely respect the city manager. For saying he was wrong. He has my respect.
I would give it a pass, hopefully they are now better educated on filming.
I'm laughing like this baby...😂😂😂😂😂🥰😘🙈🙉🙊📽️😜🇺🇸
Are not the schematics of the building part of public records? Stay strong buddy.
Good job on that magager for being honest and transparent
The scroll with their names is a nice touch
This is upsetting.

Well done! Smart and respectful. I check your other videos for sure!
Really beautiful ❤️

I was happy to see this one also. Although I would love to see Amagansett Press adit Carrollton.
Wow. Epic audit. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The City Manager is a good guy. He owned up to the fact that he was wrong about recording. By owning up, this says alot about his character...
I live in Carrollton and and am pleased when compared to damn near every single audit I’ve laid eyes on.
People grow certain expectations and the employees are just people with personalities and have been withheld from understanding the difference between rights and benefits and privileges.
What we need now if accountability for judges who testify, act as an attorney or testify from the bench.
All too often we see judges asking discovery questions, not allowing certain evidence etc..
That was big of him to admit he was wrong and to walk out there and de-escalate and try to make things better. That man is a good city manager.
They have two reception areas because they like wasting taxpayers money
How embarrassing. Poor people think they're smart but they have nothing of that
thank you for not filing a lawsuit , but giving them a free education instead, our taxes were wasted enough already today.
Where not out to sue everyone for everything. An education into the rights is much much better. However, some agencies do not seem to get and a law suit is the only way to get that point across.
Paying taxes with taxes is a FN JOKE🙄🤙👍🔥🔥🔥
One auditor signs in as BEN FRANKLIN
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AUDIT 💯
Thanks so much.
I like this guy... I would like to see him try this at Georgia Regional Hospital and see how far he gets.
Same old same old for our safety. And he was so nice to say he was wrong. 💯🦊
Awesome work man!
The walk of -“SHAME ON YOU”
Any Man that will step up like this Man did, I would call this a pass. C- maybe because of the uneducated staff. But I’m sure this will be talked about and educated among the staff.
17:45 perfect corrupt politics you said it right
Awesome stuff my guy. I am now a subscriber 😃
Thanks so much for the sub.
The "Processing" bubble is a great indicator of the moment a human decide to make up authority...
"filming of schematics" these people have watched waaayyyy to many movies. get real. great job brother.
Another excellent audit 👍
17:22. 😆 trying to save face...😆
10:55 - not berating it appears that Georgia is performing an in the moment corrective action.
Should have been done by the city mismanager
Good video good edits great work 💪
Glad you enjoyed
How often does the deputy chief hang out in city hall?
I think the two are in the same building.
Great audit and this day and age I am now a subscriber proudly.
