Grande Grande Johnson so um if anybody approach you by videoing you're allowed to video public building great um and who wouldn't look at this I I I saw some other areas that were just dark hallways and I was like but I got up here and said who wouldn't who wouldn't pull out a c well there the cafe right it's closed now but there's a cafe right out there and you can actually eat out there too it's you got to go to the checkpoint but it's open up to the public oh really yeah I hate these security checkpoints a lot of government buildings are doing this now but it's well there's a court here I get yeah I saw that yeah so it's different but they're not going to give me problems about filming on the court floors either as long as I'm not in the court room right uh yeah it's well the build closes at 5 right sure absolutely absolutely I won't try to sleep here yeah no it's uh I got a bench down the road really any place uh accessible to the public you could you know you can't B into somebody's office computer um but yeah any public spaces you're actually allowed to record hey cool um yeah I met your security downstairs they were real nice yeah you know there a problem is you watch like First Amendment Auditors and a lot of problems is they get bad uninformed information that's not true people think that you need to sign a waver to record you don't it's public so no you won't get a problem from us once Auditors is that like a tax thing or no they call what they call First Amendment Auditors that actually go in to like build post officers a big for it and they'll go into post offices and record it says no recording but technically they can't enforce it because it's public so you can record in public I've audited people before how do you audit the First Amendment uh it's kind of a a social media name I guess that they came up with I didn't know what it was at first either but um I have to check it out yeah but no you're you're welcome good to meet you sir you too thank you have a good weekend you too enjoy your stay all right thanks excuse me you can't take pictures of us what's that you're not allowed to take pictures of us what's that you're not allowed to take pictures in the buildings right on that sign it says on the door why are you videoing me what did you I'm sorry I was over there what did you say no you're still videoing me what did you what were you saying though I you're not allowed to take pictures in this building oh it says it says it on the door when you come in oh no do I delete it then or yeah why are you taking our picture um I was just I was trying to do a tourist video uh I was thinking about moving out here and I was going to do a tourist video and talk about some of the properties and some of the building government works and but that because that's a felony you're not allowed to take pictures a felony yes is it still a felony if I delete it delete it now would that be deleting evidence of a crime well nobody knows you did it but us and we're not going to tell you on you you guys will keep this on the DL yeah just delete it oh my God I feel like I'm just delete I feel like we're conspiring here to like delete evidence of a felony is everybody else in on this too or look that's my boss and he's telling you to delete just to delete just should I just delete it boss is should I just delete it like I I don't want I would I would just because it sign says it uh I just she said it's a felony I don't want to I I think that deleting evidence of a crime is like illegal it's better to delete it and not have it than take it out of here I'm not an officer I'm not to say it's crime or it's not but she said it's a Fel sign that says it so okay gosh oh my God I'm like shaking now like felony she said felony and I'm like there's officers as you walk out the door okay they have problem should I just ask them if I should delete it okay I'm like shaking you said felony you got me like oh my God I would just delete it because you don't you're not going to take it out of the building that way okay so as long as it stays in the building it's not a felony probably probably because you've not done anything with it but if you take it out of the building then you're in trouble or like published it somewhere okay yeah I was just trying to do like a tourist thing I the day that just at the end of the day um so can you tell me where the best tourist places are to visit in this area uh the stadium the stadium over at UT there a game tonight no but you can still walk around there's tons of UT
