A popular activist YouTuber known for his First Amendment video stunts was arrested Thursday after he showed up uninvited to the Suffolk County PBA’s headquarters, union leaders told The Post.

Sean Reyes, aka The Long Island Auditor, was arrested for trespassing at the Police Benevolent Association building in Brentwood as he confronted union members on video over reports that cops who admitted to misconduct were allowed to stay on the force until their pensions kicked in, PBA President Lou Civello said.
