online forums like Urban Dictionary, the term "fake auditor" is used to describe an individual involved in a First Amendment audit who is seen as acting in bad faith. A First Amendment audit is a social movement in which people film in public spaces, often at government buildings and of police, to "test" whether officials respect their constitutional right to record. The practice is viewed differently by supporters and critics, and the term "fake auditor" or "frauditor" is typically used by the latter.
Critics apply the label "fake auditor" to those who:
Provoke confrontation: Rather than genuinely seeking to promote transparency, they deliberately try to create a sensational, negative interaction with public officials or police.
Seek profit and attention: They monetize the resulting video content on YouTube and social media for personal gain, and may not have a sincere interest in civic activism.
Misrepresent the law: Critics argue that these individuals often "cherry-pick" or fabricate their interpretation of the First Amendment to justify harassing behavior.
Harass and intimidate: Some auditors have been accused of abusive tactics that go beyond simply filming in public, such as insulting or provoking employees to illicit a reaction.
The label "fake auditor" reflects the division surrounding the movement, as critics see these individuals not as legitimate civic journalists but as disruptive "performance artists" or instigators.
