The scene unfolds outside the tall chain-link fence surrounding the Worcester County Jail, where an unseen cameraman approaches Cpl. Caleb Foster, dressed in his brown correctional officer uniform.
“What are you doing here? You can’t be back in here,” Foster says, hands in his pockets, starting down the camera. “Want me to call the sheriff’s office and have you arrested? This is a secure facility.” The radio on his hip starts to pick up chatter.
“All due respect,” the cameraman replies, “if it’s so secure, I don’t know how I got here.”
The man recording the video is SeanPaul Reyes. Calling himself a “First Amendment auditor,” Reyes goes to public places staffed by law enforcement and pushes the boundaries of where and when he can film them.
Since 2021, Reyes has uploaded the sometimes-combative results to social media under the name “Long Island Audit.”
Reyes turned his camera lens to the Worcester County Jail the afternoon of March 16; it’s been viewed 291,000 times as of Thursday.
Good! Those C.O.’s are ignorant of the law! The “Thin Blue Line” can KMA!!!
