About Audit Faction
Audit Faction is an independent publication covering First Amendment audits, police accountability cases and the everyday application of citizen rights in the United States. We work from public records, court filings, bodycam footage and civilian recordings — and we explain each story in plain English so readers understand what was at stake.

Editorial standards
We do not republish unverified clips. Each story is anchored to a primary source (incident report, court document, named witness or first-hand recording). When the facts are still developing, we say so. Corrections are added at the top of the article and dated.
Affiliate disclosure
A small number of articles include affiliate links — typically to dash-cam or recording gear we have used or evaluated. These links are clearly labelled and the commission, when one applies, does not change our editorial coverage. See our disclaimer for the full version.
