A note from LAPD Senior Lead Officer Brian Espin, sent on Friday, August 2: “I’m sure you have noticed in the last couple days, there have been a small group of First Amendment Auditors roaming the downtown streets of the Palisades. These individuals will sometimes cover their faces with masks and walk around recording people trying to bait them into some sort of confrontation. These individuals are knowledgeable of the right to record on public property and what they are allowed to do on public space. They will even say things just to get a reaction from people (that is their right to freedom of speech). I monitored the group from a distance the other day to make sure our community members did not get involved with the group. My suggestion is to ignore these individuals, and do not engage in any confrontation or discussion with them. Once they see they are not getting any reaction from us, they will move on to another area.”
