TRAINING BULLETIN #18-02

“FIRST AMENDMENT AUDIT ACTIVIST LAW ENFORCEMENT GUIDELINES”

SAN ANTONIO POLICE TRAINING ACADEMY

APPROVING AUTHORITY: Captain Brian Reyes DATE: August 28, 2018

The purpose of this bulletin is to advise officers of tactics and techniques available when encountering First Amendment Audit (FAA) activists. FAA activism is present in all areas of our country. We have seen these activists recording government facilities and employees all over the nation. This especially includes police officers and their activities. These contacts have been popping up all over social media and judging from these videos it appears the sole intent is to illicit a negative response from law enforcement in the presence of their cameras. It is believed their hope is that officers will take action based on emotions and ultimately ticket and or arrest these individuals. The more dramatic the arrest the more fodder for the camera. To make matters worse, these contacts are often laced with profanity and vulgar comments directed at the officers. Like Open Carry activists, they may refuse to identify themselves. As a reminder, police cannot arrest for failure to identify if the activist has not committed a crime. Officers should maintain a professional demeanor and use good discretion in action and word choice when interacting with these individuals. Keep in mind, many activists will be well-versed in their interpretation of the laws regarding first amendment rights. The information in this bulletin should not be taken as definitive way to handle all FAA activist situations, but serve as a guideline to incidents that may present themselves. All incidents are potentially different and should be assessed on their own merits, as well as the totality of the circumstances.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

The San Antonio Police Department strives to treat all persons with respect and dignity regardless of their activism. Remember, these audits are carefully planned to take place in an area where they can legally be, and there is no law about recording activity or buildings from a public place. Keep in mind they are well within their rights to do so. Any activists roaming around the public areas of our police station or neighborhood should not be engaged and left alone after it is determined they do not pose a threat. They eventually lose interest and move on to somewhere they can make headlines.

When an officer determines that they are being confronted by FAA activists, there are a few things that shall be done initially. Ensure your body camera is recording, and immediately request a supervisor to respond. If officers are asked for their name and badge number, it should be provided without hesitation through verbal or written communication. In dealing with a FAA activist situation it is important to consider that an arrest may not be the best solution but if it is, keep in mind the following statutes:

Page 11

TEAMWORK.INTEGRITY.COREVALUES.INNOVATION.PROFESSIONALISM

Sec. 38.15. INTERFERENCE WITH PUBLIC DUTIES.- (Class B)

(a) A person commits an offense if the person with criminal negligence interrupts, disrupts, impedes, or otherwise interferes with:

(1) a peace officer while the peace officer is performing a duty or exercising authority imposed or granted by law;

(2) a person who is employed to provide emergency medical services including the transportation of ill or injured persons while the person is performing that duty;

It is a defense to prosecution under this section that the interruption, disruption, impediment, or interference alleged consisted of speech only.

Arrest for interference with public duties should only be considered if an officer is already handing another call and the FAA activist has now interjected their presence into the ongoing police matter. This interjection must be significant enough to raise concern for the officer’s and public’s safety, so it’s important officers clearly articulate in the report all the facts leading to the concern for safety. In the effort to build a solid case, it is suggested the activist be given a clear explanation, so it can be properly documented on the officer’s body-worn camera. Be specific and point out what you want the activist to do and why it is important they cooperate with your request.

The following are examples of explanations that should be given to the FAA activists:

Identify and establish a perimeter by asking them to please stand in a designated location.

There is sensitive information (medical, HIPPA, etc.) being relayed to me, please stay a reasonable distance away if you are going to continue filming (direct them to the perimeter you previously established).

I am trying to gather pertinent witness information, please respect their privacy, or move further away so the EMT’s or I can communicate with someone.

A continuous violation by the FAA activist after the officer has explained his requests will strengthen the officer’s case and enable the officer to take the appropriate action. In addition, video evidence captured on the officer’s body-worn camera will paint a clear picture to the jury during court proceedings.

In all incidents involving FAA activists, officers shall request a supervisor to respond. As in all circumstances, officer and public safety shall be a priority, so stay vigilant and utilize good police tactics.

Sec. 30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS.- (Class B)

(a) A person commits an offense if the person enters or remains on or in property of another, including residential land, agricultural land, a recreational vehicle park, a building, or an aircraft or other vehicle, without effective consent and the person:

(1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or

(2) received notice to depart but failed to do so.

It is difficult to prosecute anyone for Criminal Trespass specifically if they are in a public place. If an FAA activist enters a lobby open to the public, such as a police substation, they have the right to receive police services or ask questions pertaining to those services or laws. Once the activist has received those answers within an adequate amount of time, the activist should be asked to leave if they continue to insult persons and make a scene. Uninvolved citizens have the right to receive those same police services without hearing a profanity laced disruption. Simply issuing a notice will not suffice in arresting for Criminal Trespass. Other factors to consider are:

Is the FAA causing others a delay in receiving police services as a result of their actions?

Is the FAA causing additional officers to be out of service for an unreasonable amount of time?

Is the FAA causing citizens or service agents’ fear, intimidation, and/or harassment?

Page 12


Page 12

Officers will have to detail the totality of circumstances for the Criminal Trespass to apply. In this situation, officers shall request the presence of a supervisor prior to the criminal trespass notice. As applicable, obtain any witness information.

When an FAA activist enters a restricted area of a police facility or other governmental office and the entry point has signs clearly posted indicating that unauthorized entry is prohibited, the call should be handled in the same manner as any criminal trespass situation. Generally, the FAA activists should be allowed to leave the property in question without an arrest being made unless he or she refuses to do so. If the individual agrees to leave, he or she cannot be compelled to identify him/herself. As with any encounter involving a FAA activist, officers shall request a supervisor to respond.

Officers need to be aware that if the criminal trespass statute is enforced, it shall apply to that incident only. A criminal trespass warning will not be given as the Department has a responsibility to provide subsequent police services to these individuals.

Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT.-(Class C)

(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:

(1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;

(2) makes an offensive gesture or display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;

We have always been asked to exercise restraint, and remain professional. It has been suggested that as officers, we are held to a higher standard and we cannot be easily offended by what the general public says, even if it is directed to us. If an activist is engaging in a profane laced banter of an officer, it is very important to identify the activist and any potential witnesses. Remember “An individual cannot be compelled to identify him/herself unless he or she is under lawful arrest! However, this does not prevent an officer from requesting the person to produce a driver’s license or other identification, and by consent obtaining this information.” If the activists’ names cannot be determined at the scene, investigators can in many cases find them online due to social media. Many of these activists are well known and with a detailed report, can easily be filed on through municipal court.

Remain professional and try not to exchange “words” with these activists based on emotions or opinions. It is imperative we do not mirror their acts (i.e. body language, pulling out a cell phone to record, etc.) as it is difficult to file a case for disorderly conduct when the officer’s demeanor or reactions contribute to the problem. The strategy is not to arrest them at the time of occurrence but instead, to file at large, which gives police and the prosecutors additional time to ensure our reports and any additional paperwork that may be needed are full and complete. By filing at large, we stand a better chance of being fully detailed to help ensure a successful prosecution of the case, rather than reacting in the heat of the moment.

Things to include in your reports, if applicable:

unprovoked verbal attacks

the circumstances of the contact

the use of repeated and/or profane personal attacks (provide examples why it is personal)

obtain witness information.

There is a distinct difference between someone using vulgarities when speaking to an officer and speaking poorly of the police vs. a personal attack on the officer that goes beyond what anyone would consider to be acceptable, so please articulate the exact language used.

If you have a disorderly conduct case that meets the elements of the offense and it needs to be filed at large, please notify personnel assigned to the Southwest Texas Fusion Center at (210) 207-7680 and e-mail a copy of your report to [email protected].

Calls or incidents involving FAA activists can be volatile and are almost always made public online. All witnesses should be identified, and if possible, all parties who are recording. A phone or camera should not be confiscated for a Class C misdemeanor. If a Class B or higher is committed, the recording device (cell phone, tablets, camera) may be confiscated as evidence if it was used to record the incident. A search warrant shall be secured for content of the recording.

Keep in mind that each time you go to YouTube and view one of these videos, there is a good chance you are contributing to their cause unwittingly. Most of these videos are sponsored by someone, so each time it is viewed, there is the potential that they are getting paid by the sponsorship.

CONCLUSION

All officers are advised that this training bulletin cannot cover every scenario involving FAA activism. Officers shall use caution when responding to these incidents. Be professional and use good tactics. Officers shall contact their supervisor and brief them on all encounters involving FAA activists. Officers are also encouraged to keep the Department’s Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles in mind when handling these types of calls.

If you have questions about this training bulletin, contact the SAPD Training Academy at (210) 207-6262 or the Southwest Texas Fusion Center at (210) 207-7680.

ALAMO AREA POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION CHIEF AJ SANDOVAL III, AAPCA AFFILIATE REPRESENTATIVE

Pag

TO Chief Al Ballew

President – Alamo Area Police Chiefs Association

FROM Chief AJ Sandoval III

AAPCA Affiliate Representative

DATE June 7, 2018

REF. AAPCA Affiliate Representative Report June 2018

Chief Ballew

My thanks to you, to the Executive Board and to our AAPCA membership for

allowing me to represent you as the AAPCA Affiliate Representative.

With the executive’s board approval, I would like the opportunity to seek for my

replacement due to my current support load serving as the Region 7 Director

for TPCA. My thought is to announce the open position and accept

nominations from the floor at our June 7th meeting.

As for this report, please accept my report as submitted in speaking with Chief

James McLaughlin, Jr. (Ret.), General Counsel/Executive Director, Texas Police

Chiefs Association, we felt it was important to pass on (in part) some of the

information below to our local police chiefs.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1) RECOGNITION PROGRAM REPORT

a. Currently 145 recognized agencies with City of Shavano Park

receiving Recognition Status as the 145th agency.


Pag

e2

b. If anyone would like more information about becoming a

recognized agency please contact me.

2) TEXAS SUPREME COURT NEW MENTAL HEALTH COMMISSIONERS

APPOINTED

a. Texas' two high courts, after approving a joint mental-health

commission in February, have chosen the commission's 31 initial

members for terms that begin immediately and extend through

August 2020.

b. The order by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the Texas

Supreme Court establishing the commission named its co-chairs

then, Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Barbara Hervey and

Supreme Court Justice Jeff Brown. The initial vice chair will be

Justice Bill Boyce of Houston's 14th Court of Appeals, who led a

study by the Texas Judicial Council that recommended the

commission's establishment.

c. The 31 commissioners, including Boyce, represent judges, mental-

health advocates and policy experts from across the state.

3) TEXAS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES APPOINTMENT

a. Cecile Young will take over as the Texas Health and Human

Services acting executive commissioner June 1.


Pag

e3

b. Young, who has more than 30 years of state service, will oversee

the 40,000 employee agency as it prepares for the 2019 legislative

session and works to put its procurement and contracting practices

in order.

4) TIME TO TALK ABOUT POLICE SUICIDE NATIONAL SUICIDE

PREVENTION LIFELINE

a. Data in recent years and found that there are an average of 130 law

enforcement suicides every year, or 11 per month.

b. More officers die of suicide than die of shootings and traffic

accidents combined. It’s a problem that cries out for answers and

remedies, but too many departments are reluctant to admit it

exists, much less implement programs to address it.

c. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 24/7 national network of local

crisis centers providing free and confidential emotional support to

people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress.

d. Visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org or call 800-273-TALK (8225)

5) TEXAS DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDING ISSUES (FYI ONLY)

a. The Texas Department of Public Safety is feeling the heat over a

budget-related decision to lay off 117 officers serving in a

retire/rehire program. In its latest attempt to address budget cuts,


Pag

e4

the Texas Department of Public Safety is again facing harsh

criticism.

b. Multiple lawmakers and the department’s officers association have

called for the reversal of a DPS decision to cut the positions of 117

law enforcement officers currently employed under the agency’s

retire/rehire program.

c. The decision was made while the agency looks for ways to comply

with a mandated budget cut of more than $50 million, according to

a DPS memo from last month. Other budget decisions made by the

department this year have been overturned after public uproar.

6) TEXAS DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY STATE CRIME LAB FEES (FYI ONLY)

a. TDPS shocked the law enforcement community when it announced

it would begin charging local agencies for the previously free use of

state crime labs, which perform tests like DWI and DNA testing. A

budget provision allowed the state to charge fees for forensic

testing to make up for a cut to the division, but Abbott again

stepped in after the outcry.

b. He said in a letter to McCraw about a week after the agency

decision was announced that the budget didn’t mandate the fee

collection and that its current budget should “ensure the crime lab

will operate at full capacity.”


Pag

e5

c. Gov. Greg Abbott asked the Texas Department of Public Safety to

retract its plans to begin charging local agencies for forensic

testing. DPS agrees to reverse new policy of charging for crime lab

testing.

7) 86TH LEGISLATION – MARIJUANA AND IMPAIRED DRIVING

a. Texas legislators will continue tackling the use of marijuana and

impaired driving; it’s effects on our state, during next legislative

d. http://wtsc.wa.gov/wp-

content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2018/04/Marijuana-and-Alcohol-

Involvement-in-Fatal-Crashes-in-WA_FINAL.pdf

8) TEXAS OPIOID EPIDEMIC (FYI ONLY)

a. The nationwide opioid epidemic is just one of the drug abuse

problems facing Texas. Methamphetamine use continues to soar,

creating problems across the state. The correlation between

addiction and higher crime rates is evident, suggesting that drug

abuse and overdose are just part of a much larger problem.

http://wtsc.wa.gov/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2018/04/Marijuana-and-Alcohol-Involvement-in-Fatal-Crashes-in-WA_FINAL.pdf




Pag

b. Methamphetamines A Huge Threat: A recent police investigation of

a burglary found something much more alarming. They seized over

600 pounds of lollipops shaped like Batman and Star Wars figures.

The lollipops were laced with methamphetamines. Extra diligence

is required when the police are dealing with drug sales that are

aimed at children.

c. Researchers say that while meth has always been a problem, it’s

even more potent and available than ever due increased demand in

the U.S. and mass production in Mexico. Meth made in “Super Labs”

is flooding the market in Texas. Fatal overdoses involving meth

more than doubled between 2010 and 2014. The problem isn’t just

in Dallas and Houston. The problem is statewide, and hitting rural

areas harder than others.

d. Meth Use and Violence: Unlike other addictions, methamphetamine

use often results in violent behavior. A recent study to determine

the link between meth and violence found these frightening

statistics:

i. 56% of those studied perceived their methamphetamine use

resulted in violent behavior.

ii. 59% reported engaging in violent criminal behavior after

using meth.


Pag

e7

iii. 38% said they threatened someone with a weapon or tried to

beat someone up while on meth.

e. These people might not have otherwise been prone to violence, but

their struggle with methamphetamine addiction makes them

behave in ways that hurt themselves and others.

9) IMPORTANCE OF JOINING TPCA AS A CHIEF/POLICE EXECUTIVE

a. Please see me if you’d like more information or would like to join

the Texas Police Chiefs Association.
