As the Trump administration continues to press the boundaries of the Constitution, Johns Hopkins Professor Lester Spence says we need to understand one yet-to-be-examined source of the push towards authoritarianism: urban policing.

As part of our upcoming documentary I Am But The Mirror: The Story of American Copwatching, we spoke to auditors and YouTubers about their process for filming police. In this excerpt from, legendary activists Tom Zebra and Joe Cool engage in a spirited debate: should you get arrested to prove a point about you right to record or avoid it to keep filming police?

This is part of broader question we try to answer in the film. What is cop watching, filming the police, confronting them, trying to get arrested on purpose? And when do any of these techniques cross the line? All of this is examined through the lens of one of copwatching's most controversial practitioners, Eric Brandt.

In our documentary I Am But The Mirror: The Story of American Cop Watching, we delve into what drives hundreds of activists across the country to raise their cell phones and hit “record” when they see police. As part of this exploration, we conducted in-depth interviews with a wide range of YouTube-based cop watchers, who shared their motivations, personal philosophies, and the unexpected sense of community that has formed around this grassroots movement.

In this segment, we sit down with Colorado-based activist Liberty Freak.

Known for his close collaboration with fellow activist Eric Brandt—whose provocative tactics ultimately led to a 12-year prison sentence for targeting judges—Liberty Freak offers a more nuanced view of their work. Together, Liberty and Eric made legal history in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals when they successfully sued a police officer who interfered with their right to record a traffic stop, setting a critical precedent for First Amendment protections.

In this candid interview, Liberty reflects on what compels him to film the police, the surprising twists in his life story, and why he believes Eric Brandt’s legacy is far more complex—and more revolutionary—than most people realize.

YouTube activists have turned watching cops into a popular genre. With cell phone cameras and customized channels hundreds if not thousands of chaotic camera wielding watchdogs film cops in communities across the country. I Am But The Mirror chronicles this phenomenon through the lens of one of its most provocative and controversial practitioners: Eric Brandt.

The documentary examines Brandt's rise as antagonistic YouTuber along with a group of eccentric cop watchers as they turn the process of filming police into an often confrontational art-form. It documents Brandts' prosecution, severe sentence, and how his community rose up to support him.

It also recounts the story of the journalists who covered him. How they tried to adapt to Youtube while reporting on the rise of cop watching. A film that examines the line between reporting and showmanship while grappling with the chaos that has turned our information ecosystem on its head.

In our latest episode of the Police Accountability Report, we dive into the heartbreaking story of Christian Mobley, a hardworking pizza delivery driver whose life was turned upside down by relentless traffic enforcement from the Jonesboro, Arkansas, police. Over the course of a year, Christian faced stop after stop after stop—minor traffic infractions that escalated into confrontational and invasive encounters. From being detained without cause to having his car searched by a drug-sniffing dog for driving in a so-called "high drug area," Christian endured repeated humiliation and mental anguish. And the cost? We will let Christian speak for himself. We’ll walk you through every step of this outrageous story, breaking down the body-worn camera footage so you can judge for yourself what these officers did and how systemic over-policing is wreaking havoc on working-class communities. This isn’t just about Christian; it’s about a policing system that too often prioritizes punitive control over public safety, leaving hardworking people like Christian as collateral damage.But Christian is not giving up—and neither are we. We’re exposing the systemic flaws that make this kind of policing not just possible but disturbingly common. Christian’s story is more than just a series of wrongful stops; it’s a window into how over-policing disproportionately impacts working-class people, sowing chaos in their lives instead of serving public safety. Why are so many resources being poured into questionable traffic stops instead of community needs? And why are people like Christian being targeted when all they’re trying to do is survive? Please join us this Thursday night 9pm EST with livechat to have this discussion with us! And if you have experienced over-policing in Jonesboro, Arkansas, please reach out to us! I hope to see you there!

My dear Police Accountability Report family! I wanted to thank you for standing by me this year! I wanted to give you an update from my Christmas kitten wearing his first flannel! But, I do also love dogs, and although I am not a caretaker yet... perhaps my kittens will have a puppy companion in the future! I don't often share much about my personal life, but I will admit the past 3 weeks have been a bit taxing as my car was stolen, and it has been a very difficult process. But I am treating it like a life experience and might even do a few reports from the Baltimore City impound lot! BUT We have a really important and HAPPY update from the people we have investigated for on the Police Accountability Report coming up this January. I am happy to say some of the people we have assisted have had charges dropped and will be able to file lawsuits as qualified immunity was ruled unconstitutional in their case! So please join us next year and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
