Denver Metro Audits

01/12/2026

While at the DMV to renew my drivers license, I decided to exercise my First Amendment right to document my interaction with government by recording my experience. It triggered every single employee to the point of being treated with disrepect, rudeness, refusal of service and even getting the cops called on me. Luckily, the Arapahoe County Deputy who showed up honored his oath and educated the rude employees on the rights we have as American citizens.

Season 2, Episode 2 concludes the sentencing hearing in my federal court case stemming from a First Amendment audit.

After the U.S. Attorney makes the claim that I "accosted" a man during a separate audit, my attorney responds by playing the unedited video for the court - exposing that the accusation was false and that, in reality, I was the one who was approached and confronted.

I then address the judge directly, explaining what it is I do, why I do it, and why I believe recording public officials in public spaces is both lawful and just. I speak on accountability, transparency, and the principles that guide my actions.

The hearing concludes with the judge issuing a sentence of 15 days in jail, two years of probation, and a $3,000 fine - a sentence I ultimately served as 16 days.

This episode marks the end of Season Two. Season Three begins next, documenting my time inside jail and the aftermath of this case.

Season Two, Episode One picks up at the start of the sentencing hearing for the Social Security Administration audit - and immediately exposes how far the U.S. Attorney is willing to go to reshape the facts.

The U.S. Attorney claims that I "found" a security guard from the audit and berated him without justification. What the court is not told is the full context: that this same guard went hands-on with me multiple times during the audit, forcibly blocked a doorway, smashed .T.Chronicles foot in the door, and left her with a visible bruise on her arm.

In a second false allegation, he tells the judge that during a prior audit, I had accosted a man. In reality, video evidence shows the opposite — I was the one being accosted.

The U.S. Attorney repeatedly pushes a narrative that my "brand" is getting arrested for profit — claiming I audit solely to make money on YouTube and attract views.

Due to new pending charges for interference, Craig Fansler escalates his sentencing request, asking for 20 days in jail and a $5,000 fine, despite previously recommending only a $500 fine and probation.

My attorney raises serious constitutional concerns, arguing that punishing me based on an unrelated arrest — for which I had not been convicted and was later found not guilty - raises Fifth Amendment due process and double-jeopardy issues. That case is now the subject of an active civil lawsuit against the Colorado Springs Police Department.

This episode lays the groundwork for what comes next — exposing the claims, the contradictions, and the evidence the prosecution didn't want the judge to see.

Episode Two continues immediately where this one ends.

In this episode, the trial reaches its conclusion with closing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense. After days of testimony, evidence, and legal maneuvering, each side presents their final narrative to the court.

The prosecution summarizes its case and argues why it believes the charges should result in a conviction. The defense then delivers its closing argument, breaking down the evidence presented at trial, highlighting the lack of evidence, addressing the law as it applies to recording in public government spaces, and explaining why the government failed to meet its burden of proof.

This episode marks the end of Season One of this documentary series.

Season Two will cover the sentencing hearing.
Season Three will document my time in jail and the aftermath of this case.

As always, this series exists to show the full, unedited reality of what happens when a citizen challenges government authority - from arrest, to trial, to the consequences that follow.

16 Days In | The Case That Made Transparency a Crime (Episode 2 – The Trial)

This episode covers the first half of the criminal trial stemming from my arrest for recording inside a Social Security Administration lobby.

Following the overview established in Episode One, Episode Two moves directly into the courtroom. This portion of the documentary presents the prosecution's case, including witness testimony, evidentiary arguments, and the government's theory for why recording in a public-facing lobby was treated as a criminal offense.

Viewers will hear trial audio and see how the government framed the Social Security lobby as a space
"occupied by the tenant," despite officers and employees repeatedly describing it as a lobby, waiting area, or reception area. This episode documents how that framing was used to justify the arrest and prosecution.

Episode Two concludes at the point where the prosecution rests, setting the stage for the defense case and the legal arguments that follow.

This video is Episode Two of an episodic documentary series examining the arrest, trial, sentencing, and incarceration that resulted from recording inside a federal building lobby.

This episode serves as the introduction and framework for the Social Security Administration documentary series.

Episode One provides a concise overview of the events that led to my arrest, trial, and conviction after recording inside a Social Security Administration lobby - a space repeatedly described that day by officers and employees as a lobby, waiting area, or reception area.

In 2018, the Department of Homeland Security issued are guidance stating that photography and video recording are permitted in federal building lobbies for news purposes. Despite this guidance, I was arrested after briefly recording inside the Social Security office lobby during a livestream.
This episode functions as a "Cliff's Notes" setup for the series. It clarifies key facts, addresses common misunderstandings, and introduces limited excerpts from the audit footage, trial audio, and sentencing proceedings to establish context for what follows.

Subsequent episodes will examine the case in depth, including the full trial proceedings, sentencing, and the government's use of building design and occupancy classifications to justify criminalizing recording in a traditionally public-facing space, as well as security camera footage from the Jefferson County Jail of my incarceration.

This is Episode One of an episodic documentary series created and filmed by this channel. Episodes are editorial sections of the same original documentary project and are released with clear labeling and context.
