find that Cony Clerk's Office this first thing the office of the county clerks all right eie County fam as you seen in the previews this is the office of the county clerks where Sean from Long Island was held out of and eventually even pushed out of so the revisit here is very interesting to see the Improvement and the things that still went on here so let's go ahead and take a little bit of look at his footage if you got to see all his footage you're going to have to go to his channel his video's link is in the description oh it's your office over here this this as far as you're going okay no problem anything I can see from public I can film sir yeah just I mean I guess you can keep getting in my way y that might constitute disorderly conduct well you go right ahead it might constitute it no you go right ahead your action no I've told you you're not allowed in my office but your actions are intentional to try and alarm me annoy me he's not guarding the door anymore so see if we could submit our request sir out out I'm submitting my request please don't touch me please leave please leave this is the one I've got the request my request can you can you can you make me a copy out can you not you have no Authority don't touch me I told you before not come in here with the camera Rel sir can you relax can you get out of my office public this is a public office this is not your office this is office like I said if you want to see the full video of Long Island Audits and you haven't already it's on his channel Linked In My description um it's pretty wild interaction the county clerk is totally on hinged so this is a revisit to the same office with same county clerk and we're going to see what happens differently today you guys be the judge as to whether the first amount audit Shan did the first time had an impact on today's visit so we don't have excuse me the public record room off limits to the public it's authorized Personnel what's that authorized Personnel yeah but the county statute state law states that these records would be open to the public the computer are you'd have to sign in but you can't use any type of Photography or anything on the computers says who that's that's restricted area no it's got posted right listen the county law the law that dictates this records room said that these records have to be open to the public yeah so it's open to the public Y come go it in going all right e County F let's pause it real quick and take a look at the county law 525 for County Clerk duties um we're going to go ahead and Skip down to part two he shall provide at the expense of the county all books files and other necessary equipment for the filing records and depositing of documents Maps papers in actions and special proceedings of both civil and criminal nature judgments and lean dockets and books for the indexing of the same as directed or authority by law therefore what you're seeing there is those documents and those records of are to be out to the public at the County's expense that room is open to the public period by New York state law so what's up with these signs that authorized Personnel what's with the signs that authorized person now well because we back here we've been doing some back scanning some some court documents so we we put the sign up just so that people don't walk in where does this say get Authority no photography cuz this is a constitution protector in this office and I've seen your actions with Mr Long Island from Sean sh somebody out here are we ready to take these signs down because they're not going to go over well n I'll be taking pictures of documents in here and anything I want that's open to the public these signs here authorized Personnel against the state law that allows you to charge money for documents you know it and I know it those are those are unlawful signs this is a publicly accessible area to the public open to the public by law these documents and public records that have to be open to the public well there you go so you going to take those signs down so you want you want another fre to are you looking for another line of redress well I don't know I'm not sure what you're talking about so do you remember pushing Sean from Long Island out of this office oh no not what you you remember that I remember it I seen it than you so much so they got no photography signs and as you can see how this gentleman here treated Shan from Long Island before he still hasn't learned his lesson and they're still trying to enforce unlawful signs about authorized personnel only these signs here are not this this is open to the public this you don't have to sign in you don't have to sign your rights away to come in this office this is absolutely out out they're out of the Rockers with these signs the actual state law mandates that these record are to be open to the public so we got one unlawful sign two unlawful signs three unlawful signs a fourth one trying to make you sign with your public your fourth amendment let's walk around find out how many more unlawful signs we have down here let see four unlawful signs down here sir okay just make sure he's not going to violate any rights down here cuz I think that after 5 500,000 views on Sean's video this guy pushing people out of here they still have unlawful signs of no photography but they can't enforce these signs fam they cannot these books are open to the public if they're open to the public they're open to the press the press and the people are the same person so as far as these documents not being open to the public by state law they have to be two if the public is allowed to open these books up they are allowed to take pictures now the state statute that makes them bylaw open to the public are also States how much they can charge per copy it doesn't mean that they can charge per copy and the keepers of the records than the only one that can take a picture that means they can't charge more than the St allow sayate allows them to so say that somebody was suing this County and they needed some records the county can't charge them $1,000 a copy so that they could not afford to have the records they need so these State these County officers who think that they can limit who can carry a camera number one this this clerk here this clerk who put his hands on Sha before he swore an oath to the Constitution yet he's going to leave these unlawful signs up that contradict the Constitution and state law this man's word is worthless unless he takes on those signs as far as I'm concerned he it's you know no no no photography allowed right here this sign that's a violation of his old of office he should be removed if he's not willing to take the sign down now every single record in here that is publicly accessible is okay okay to be documented and photographed by the public now if you needed some of these documents from this office that need to be certified for court purposes obviously you would have to pay for a certified copy but if you want to come down here and look at these books and photo photograph how old they are and check out some of the old writing in them and take a photograph everybody is allowed to because the Press is a right of the people that everybody has so as far as this clerk learning a lesson um from from Sean's video I'm going to say that he has not learned his lesson of his public office oath he number one has signs saying that this is authorized personnel only by State statue this room has got to be open to the public by law people have the right to these records they have the right to come in here anything that's not locked up in here is a public record allow it to be looked at by the people so apparently this guy still has not learned his lesson um as far as having doc like he says that they're scanning in that are classified documents that their average person ain't supposed to be coming in here he should have these things protected it's not our responsibility so like all these documents are out on the table if these are documents that he is not by law allowed for the general public to see he's violating the law here that they're here not me with a camera CU I have a right to be here and I have a right to video record in public space the county clerk's office is definitely not an office that can be restricted it is a public place check out these old registers man some of these things are really neat so our County Clerk down here has not learned a lesson he has at least four unlawful unconstitutional signs that I've have seen um I don't know if that's his attempt to counter what Shawn did here that day um they definitely did expose him um from what I've heard the county had a meeting with this gentleman about his actions that day cuz they were absolutely Unbecoming of a county admin a County elected official in that so um it's a shame that the gentleman does has not learned his lesson yet that he thinks he can limit the public from this room and call an unauthorized personnel only now if you don't know the law if you're unfamiliar with the law you you might take that bluff and and be locked out of such a room but all these records are open to the public you can ask abolutely photography them you can photography everything in this room that is open to the public and accessible to the public there's not a thing they can do about it they can put up as many signs as they want when they start violating laws and rights they may as well end up in a in a litigation lawsuits and this this County attorney seems to be tyrannical as it as You' seen what he did to Shawn yet he still hasn't learned his laston and I and one day you know I hope that this County attorney or County um clerk here learns that he works for the people he doesn't have authority that he doesn't have it's just not not the way it works um these people work for the public they are bound by public laws the laws that they state that they try to use to limit who can take photographs in here is the same law as it says that this room is a publicly accessible room by law it is not restricted access area got County Clerk here refuses to remove these signs for this unlawful sign here so it's 1 2 3 4 unlawful signs far as I'm concerned they got to go his behavior here last time unacceptable I'll tell you one thing he's not going to push me around today so that's that's what I see is just four unlawful unconstitutional signs and uh Tyrant County elected official who swore an oath has an oath of office on file he's violating it violating his word is worthless and uh I mean only thing I can say that Sean definitely did is cut this man down to size a little bit that he's not willing to push somebody out of this office today so got some maps of this uh County here is this County completely inside the anderon park no half of it uh it's probably let see if I got a map the northern part part you're in right now is not is not Malone Malone chatay Burke there it's probably 50/50 I would say half of it's in the park half of it's not do you have a business card yep right at the front camera and um just you know I'm just trying to talk to you no that's fine yeah we're not willing to take these signs down by law those those signs this is a public this is not restrict absolutely I don't disagree with you I I I don't disagree they're mainly there so that people wouldn't get into the books and take take photographs of brittle pages okay I understand the photography that's why I allowed you to come in that's that's fine I but you guys did just try to enforce that this is a restricted acent I didn't quote the law to you you might not let me in here no and I'm a pretty bold person if you haven't noticed you're just and that's fine I I'm friends with Shawn I know Shawn well and he's a really nice guy he's he's not one and that's okay we I didn't deny you coming in we just we'd like to know what's in just because we don't have enough staff to to accurately monitor right in here we just have people sign in so that we know who comes in we change the signs these are old these are old folks be careful if it makes you feel better I'll take them down I think I think that it would make the people feel better and I think that it's the right thing to do I don't have a problem with it if that's what you would like absolutely and you know it's not me coming in here with a camera it's just me we're talking you know that hundreds of thousands of people may see this and they're going to have an opinion but like to hang a sign to say that this is a restricted access area that's a that's a blatant violation of the public if this makes you feel better absolutely Ian it makes me feel better that you're not going to get litigated against cuz I'm a litigator if you would have put my your hands on me like you did Shawn that day I would have sued the crap out of this place okay well Sean's a little nicer than me in some areas but I appreciate you taking those down it's the right thing to do okay and you said your business card is right up here somewhere my business card's right here yep there you go thanks you're welcome I I appreciate you taking those down it's the right thing to do so I think I got all the angles of here I needed and we definitely got the them signs down and they as they need to because this is this is not a restricted access area um to sign in they can ask you to sign in just like a cop can ask you for ID but they can't enforce that it would be a violation of the Fourth Amendment so we we' and we've never forced anybody to sign in we we just ask them to just so that we have a way of monitor that's all nothing nothing more yeah no I I got it and like I said you know police can ask for ID but they can't demand and same thing goes in here if a police officer can't demand ID you certainly come out um to get into a public place and uh I appreciate not getting shoved or pushed out of here like I've seen in the past and I'm sure that you've got more than enough redress from that and more than enough um you've heard enough of it so I'm not going to bring it up anymore I appreciate you taking those signs down it's the right thing to do and uh you guys have nice week rest of the week and a nice weekend yep my name is Dan by the way yep I get to shake a lot of County County uh Clerk's hands through my I've been to over 45 counties in this state um Sean kind of bounces around but I focus on New York more and uh I got to shake a lot of County you know exec's hands I got to shake a lot of County Clerk's hands so I'm glad I got to shake your hand and it wasn't an instance like Sean that and U I hope that uh we don't put them signs back up at any point and we respect the laws that we expect everybody else to abide by so you guys all right y have a great day you all have a nice week so that is a great followup to what we' seen sea break the floor in the ice here in Franklin County and uh maybe we'll tell Sean to do a another uh throwback Thursday and add the county um clerk respecting the law this time and even going as far as to remove the unconstitutional signs the unlawful signs and uh you know like here we're not going to have any Guff we're not going to be bullied

here he's taking pictures of the building just the publicly accessible area she says this is the only public area she say like this is confidential I don't know I have half of stuff to take care of I said and that lot that list of names on the wall that's happened too isn't it this right here is just our employees so he can yeah he can record that just all that back there is patient stuff yeah I'm not going to it says employees only so I'm obviously going to go past that point this is the only public area wherever the public area is and I'll give you a second to flip anything over on the desk you want I'll just start it over here employees only past that point just don't take any pictures of me I'm not very photogenic you look fine you look fine you're looking good today are these binders with stuff in it publicly accessible for the public to look into or it's just it's just basically common knowledge that it's not common knowledge it's it's public knowledge you can find it on the internet anywhere all right um for the majority of it gotcha yeah it's out here to the public so I assume it was but I kind of open one up I look at a bunch of people's names I didn't know if uh it was not supposed to be that's um that's a signing out stuff like shredding boxes and stuff like that MCH phone interviews database that's a public record this is just the one I I happen to take off the shelf that's something that should be out to the public or no just might be directions or I just I opened up one page and looked like it had people's names so I didn't know if that was I was supposed to be off for the public it's not even mine what's that nothing okay what was I doing yes should everything is covered up there and I think that should do for me you have a nice rest you have a nice rest of your week and uh have a great weekend you too I do not give you permission to post anything about me on the Internet or on YouTube or nothing perm you gave permission by taking a job for the public though huh when you took a job for working with the public you gave your permission by taking that job it's just you know something you should probably know because um it's a constitutionally protective activity to video record your public servants in the course of their duties whether it's police public officials or public employees from a publicly accessible area so just by taking this job here you actually give consent and permission and not to mention even if you didn't want it and you weren't working for the government when you're in public there is no expectation of privacy and that is the essence of like the first amendment if you think about like Google I am going to Google go ahead you know this what we're here for is little education there but um like just think about Britney Spears and all those bald head pictures she has if she could say I don't want those pictures out papaz are coming out you know what I'm saying like if if that she could stop the paparazzi you don't think she would of course she would but you have a nice weekend and yeah definitely Google that and the education rolls on office here hi guys doing how you doing um I'm just

right now he captured the Virginia battle flag during the Civil War uh he was awarded a purple H he lived up here oh nice yeah they have uh if you're interested in it the wck park has a monument for him oh really yeah we might check that out on their way through yeah here's the statue that he was just talking about folks honoring the guy Civil War right here from uh Franklin County the town of bone oh nice I might have to check that out yeah this a local picture here at the bald eagle uh I believe so actually that one was here around uh and moose too moose yeah I I remember a few years ago moose getting hit in the lake classet area oh yeah we've been seeing a lot pardon me 458 uh between like St reg just Falls and over on uh in 30 they I've seen a lot of moose out there and right past Paul Smith uh if you're familiar with that area yeah that's where by yeah so you know when you get past the college on 3 and there's that kind of flat stretch it's kind of swampy area for a little bit I saw a bunch of moose in there going cuz I do one day a week down in oh and they like it there's not a lot to get in their way while they're walking around they're just a pain cuz those eyes don't reflect light so if if you're at night you got to be careful of them yeah they'll chase you down especially if you got a dog yeah they hate dogs cuz they Wolves of course but is your office here yeah

it was a pleasure to meet you all right if you need anything else let me know you got it now if you remember fam in Sea's original visit 2 years ago he wasn't allowed in the DMV cuz of some mysterious New York state law that prohibits filming in the DMV that well quite frankly it doesn't exist so now you can see the difference between my interaction and his so this looks like the DMV no sir area no sir no filming inside there that's a state regulation it's a Department of Motor Vehicles it doesn't matter I'm in public it doesn't matter you want to put the camera down come on in Who Who Are You I'm the county clerk you're the county clerk yes I am absolutely not that you're holding a camera so I guess I can okay I mean I'm not going to push past you if you're going to keep me out I'm not I'm not a violent type of guy so I'm not going to push past you to get into a publicly accessible [Music] area got the DMB Department Motor Vehicles down here oh okay it's official it's [Music] official this another sign here cell phones are prohibited prohibited by what just the their feelings I mean technically you could use a cell phone you could definitely use a cell phone at the counter there's no reason it can't be used all set Abate they can say what they want and they ask what they want but until there's a law that prohibits it there's not much they can do hi there how you doing what can I help you with uh nothing really I just down here grabbing some photographs of the office down here okay if I need anything I will let you know we got to grab that I'm sorry I can't this yeah was that stuff ready to go yet that Co over uh we choose to keep it up just because I mean it's still um with the customer contact the germs and everything are still high yeah you know there's still Co out there so we just chose opted to keep it up yeah but but yeah I was I was just saying if I need anything I'll let you know oh okay thank [Music] you just um please be careful with the camera that because these are all yeah confidential I'm going to be just scrolling through here if you want to flip stuff over real quick while I'm coming through uh I won't be here long okay just getting what what it looks like down here yeah just because I just don't want the confidentiality part of it as long as you understand the confidentiality is on you guys it's not on the person with the camera that comes through [Music] so she going go ahead and flip stuff over like the law requires her to do we'll be down here you're not getting that on me guys suckers thank you yeah no problem can I get your name my name's Caroline Caroline I'm Dan so like I said before you obviously they can say is prohibited cuz they they think it's rude or whatever but I mean if you pull out your cell phone what are they going to do you know they can't stop you there's no law behind that that's all oh I was talking to the camera oh I was just saying about this no cell phone use is prohibited it's it's not really Pro prohibited anything more than a piece of paper there's no actual not necessarily there's no actual from using it basically is we don't want people talking on the phone when we're trying to ask them questions and you know talk back and forth we it's just very very rude and it's usually like during the day like right after lunch we have such a long line that we ask we say we have the sign there but we ask the customer to please not use her cellone why they're trying to do business I was just making the point it says prohibited prohibited generally means there's a law or a way to enforce it but there's actually not if somebody was on the phone while talking as it may be ruding from my thing was a little off as it may be rude it's not illegal or you know enforcable to sign is all I was mentioning yeah yeah can I help you yeah are you okay just stand in line I'll be right okay hi how are you got the DMV down here they got a little mirrored tint on there to prevent people from really seeing but the camera's really good at getting past that can I help you actually don't need help I'm just taking some pictures of the office what's available what the place looks like okay checking up on our investment you know okay well back here is private so yeah I'm not going to go back there it looks like it's locked off anyway excuse me the office is private yeah I'm not going to go back there so that office is private we're not going to go back there but if we can see it from public I mean it's not illegal to lift your hands in the air it's not illegal to press a camera to the glass so I mean if they want it more private they're going to have to definitely make it more private and there's a reminder they're always watching us so got the New York State flag excelsor so this is the Treasures Office where they're collecting funds in there I like that one I've seen this before but this one's like metallic smells like popcorn corn in here somebody's got something good

Kind ofit give me just a minute that's a good thing though you know it is like me and my uncle always said you know the political Spectrum should be like a pendulum you know if it goes to far one way needs to swing back because you know if you go too far one way there's going to be [Music] problems it's like being married right hopefully your wife it's kind of banged up but that one's mine beautiful and Hew isting the blue so is the public allowed to get popcorn you I'm walking around this building and I'm getting thirsty stopping every drinking fall the last thing I need is popcorn I just was I was just wondering if I could get it and the answer is yes so that's good with me you know I'm all about checking for for public candy and stuff so public popcorn's good if you're here on Halloween or Christmas some cupcakes out tday yeah thank you guys you guys are great 9 1 to Wednesday the of stuff we got in the walls here Thurs the 3 1 to 4 5 to8 yep October 1 2 or 3 Tuesday Wednesday popcorn guys I just knew it yes [Music] yes okay yep oober yes October looks like a goofy guy right there registration forms come down here get registered to vote County [Music] Manager hi there how you doing are you the county manager I am how are you my name is Dan hi Dan Don and Cass conna it's nice to meet you I'm as well down here just working on a story on the building and checking out all the publicly accessible areas and and uh I I say I had a colleague come through here two years ago I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and all I can say is what an improvement I hope we've improved we've really worked hard at that to make sure the only Rocky or little rocky part was the county clerk again he had some signs up going into the records room as said authorized personnel only okay now by the same records law that quotes that they can charge per document which is the law they try to use to say you can't take photographs that law mandates that that room be open to the public so it can't be limited access I explained it to him we had a conversation he did take the signs down okay and uh then no photographer signs he did take down so hopefully this time around it's not as big as a blowout with the public sees that but um definitely got to say what an improvement it is from 2 years ago's visit to to my visit coming here and uh it was quite enjoyable coming here everybody was pretty polite and Cal good well we've done a lot of Education and Training and we I I won't ever say that we we strive for 100% but of course I think some people make mistakes from time to time but I appreciate you you know pointing that out and that he immediately rectified that that's it wasn't immediate it took a little convincing you know the same day anyhow yeah definitely the same day hopefully um he doesn't put that up and maybe you can even keep an eye out like the public records law that binds what they can charge and what the record room literally states that that has to be open to the public in the law so I'll actually follow up on that yeah so that's great um do you have a business card I do let me go grab that okay thank you let's grab some photos in [Music] here got the 2024 budget out here you need my email I just need to write it on there they changed emails and I hated to print new cards so would you like me to write that on there where else would you like to go uh I pretty much about the whole building just going up here last place I always like to check out as a legislative Chambers I assume it's open y let me walk you over but yeah I just finished up this haul and head down there so the I can want me give you a little tour down here more than welcome to sure so of course um I don't expect any reactions around here this is um some storage this is a back door to our district attorney's office where we hold our grand jury um in there but it's not in session right now um this is our grant writer in there and our County attorney um but neither no one's in there I don't know if she's got any case records yeah I'm not going to go in her office just a public we can public we got to come in here and audit make sure the candy the public cand is ready to go you know that's the most important thing can have have a Jelly Bean if you would like one and um she's hybrid you know work um so sometimes um Works remotely in another commun well another Community that's in Franklin County Tupper Lake and then she comes here two three days Frankl County yes it is one of my favorite vacation spots isn't it beautiful there topper Lake and seret both are part of Franklin so then this is is Sak in Tupper sarenac Lake is in Franklin County but completely separate and it's it's still in Franklin County but it's a different Community than Tupper Lake oh yeah yeah I get that so this is our um is Lake plet in Franklin no so our director of community services that Ma manages like our mental health and substance abuse no she's actually I just checked the door to see if it's locked they obviously off limits the well no she's just not here today and so um because her main office is in Sak Lake gotcha and then through these doors is the the fourth floor so uh the judges oh the don't we're not going to go I don't have access I have to go to the second floor it's completely there's restrictions about bring cameras into that room right and the Jud respect that for now someday I always say the final frontier for the First Amendment a is to open the courtrooms up to the camera there's no nothing more American than transparency and checks and balances and for there to be no cameras allowed in the courtroom it's kind of ludicrous yeah so this is um our tourism office at Economic Development sto in there and that our district attorney's down there you got some stickers I got some stickers in there and I even got a hi hello how are you I even got a uh what do you call it I got a um pair of a glasses for the for very good would you like some candy I don't have this Pandy pack for nothing and so the I'm just helping you guys out so you guys don't need it all the clerk of the board nice to meet you do you have a business card I can grab I don't have a business card no I never do I'm sorry I can give you information I'm sure write it down on the website it is definitely y so we can show you where they hold the meetings and you're the secretary I'm the cler a deputy clerk Heather I was just telling her and I tell you guys the same is um Sean from Long Island audit I sure you know who that is from 2 years ago doing a First Amendment audit here he's a good friend of mine and uh I pretty much came down here did the same thing he did and did a revisit on this building and wow what an improvement and the county did very well this time around versus what the clerk did to the the county building Last Time by holding them out of an office and that and I just wanted to tell you guys let you guys know that there's much big Improvement on the education in the building yeah and we we we continue to remind folks and review policies we've added you know a section to our um our policy manual for employees and yeah so we took it very seriously yeah I think that video did almost 600,000 views of public seeing it and it's quite the exposure yep I'm not as big as that channel but I'm fairly big probably the second biggest in the state but uh so the chambers is through here or this way in here get the I'll let these ladies show you this is where they hold their official official meeting so the board here Works how you have a chairman of the board mhm or a county executive or that's me you're the county ex ex County Administrator right County manager and so the chairman of the board so we have you know the county exective cler the clerk of the board chair the chairperson the county attorney and then we have the other six legislators so it's no the six legislators are just voted in by districts I take it so it's not like uh every town has representations like a some like every county has a little bit different how their boards are set up so every so for example legislator L's on and you ladies can correct me if I'm wrong so every town has representation but he he they have combined gotcha District Town chips that make up their District so he represents uh the town of Fort Covington um the town of hogansburg and Westville okay then uh legislator janeski represents the towns of Belmont Shaday and Constable right putting it to the test today legislator um Andrea Dumis represents um part of Malone and North Bangor and Brandon correct legislator uh Martin represents the towns of Bombay brushton MOA and St Wes Falls legislator Ned Sparks you're test you're giving me a little quiz here right yeah you're killing it he represents the towns of Tupper Lake Santa Clara and Brighton oh and legislator Martin also St riches Falls at the town of Waverly yep and legislator Alis represents the towns of Harriet toown the village of sarak Lake and the town of Franklin nice yes we chair booklets that say all that too if you wanted I'll take one of these and chairman had Lockwood represents the other part of Malone and I think that's it because Malone's so big they have two represent we're in Malone right now you're in Malone is this is Malone the biggest town or city in I would say it is yes yes and so there so you know usually the counties office ends up in there I'm actually my YouTube channel is called auditing Erie County so I'm from County so I'm I'm from Western New York a little way away but uh so legislator Lockwood and Dumis represent Malone but different streets divide them up so if you live on one side of Elm Street you would be um legislator Dumis or oh so it's all divided up so no one's overlapping nice let's get some photographs in here and do my final seat in the Chairman's seat wa what it looks like to be the chairman these are all the old all the past uh chairmans and representatives most of them yeah so this is Edward Lockwood's chair here and uh we're going to go ahead and get a seat here in the county Chairman's seat we get see what the chairman sees during the county meetings here we have a press table here the Press comes in and and sits here do you have like a local news station or specifically that comes in theone telegram attends all of our meetings and of course you know our other designated um um newspaper is the adder on Deck Enterprise and they um often don't come but we certainly would make room for them and do you guys have a local TV station around here not it would be in platsburg platsburg would be the closest one yes all right so of course we got to grab that gavl down here and we give it a little tap here and say Well done Franklin County um much improvement from what we've seen in the past as far as the county and Long Island audit versus the time that I came down here and did an audit um big Improvement the only hiccup I really had was the county clerk down there trying to make the public records room a restricted access area but by law that has to be open to the public by public records laws that govern the clerk's office well well in informing him he did take those signs down um without too much fuss and uh all I can say is well done and uh looking much brighter than it did before so hopefully this bring sheds a new light on the county and brings them up to constitutional standards for sure so um glad to be the one to get a recheck on this place so good day pink hair and don't care so you guys let me know what you think about that one in the comment section we got Franklin County down here it was a big improvement from what I seen when Shawn came through um County Clerk wasn't pushing me around but they did try to assert a unlawful order that the county records room is off limits to the public by public records laws through New York that govern how much they can charge for a copy and all that is govern the same law that says that room has got to be open by the law um knowing the law and educating yourself is your best defense against tyranny guys um if you don't know your local laws I suggest you do your research so that you're not ever bullied and uh like I said that's the best defense you can have towards tyranny or or unlawful orders is education education is king um we have a great country from the Constitution up if we don't assert these right and we don't um exercise these rights we might lose them now you know sea came through here you know 2 years ago just about and had quite the problem I don't have much of a problem here today everybody pretty much respected my rights the county clerk tried to enforce his private access laws you know by putting a sign up but at the end of the day when we informed them how educated we were and we know the law you can see how fast he folded on his bluff now unfortunately we have to watch the government and they like to Bluff and they like to uh you know make up rules and laws and and stuff like that and it's a shame because if they continue lying to us we never know when they're telling the truth and if we don't know when they're telling the truth um how are we supposed to know when they're lying so you know it's important that we all know the rules we know the laws and the better we do that the better we are able to hold them accountable and have more transparency in government we live in a society now where people want to recall how they discipline their child people that might get mad with this video is the people that probably already embarrassed their child you can you can Discipline Your Child in they room take something away from them if they act up I'm like son you can't play the game quite the Improvement down here from the last time I seen somebody come through with a camera yeah yeah May two years ago I think Sean from Long Island came through here and the county clerk shoved him out of the office a lot more respect for the Constitution and all the right the difference though you come in here looking like a noral person he was all blacked out black hat on Black sunglasses black mask a long black trench coat looks done assuming you know you look like a normal Joe you know you pull the Constitution out your pockets to here like that was supposed to prove something First Amendment freedom of the pr have there your name is not Dan Eerie County this isn't Erie County yeah sure it is on is Dan Erie County legitimate maybe official no
