Photographing
the exterior of Federal Buildings
A
letter to FBI Director Comey
Last
week, David Warden, a former Police Officer, and currently of YouTube channel,
News Now Houston -
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC39jLNl2UpxDeYVYCToA56A
- was legally filming the El Paso FBI field office building from a public
sidewalk when he was physically detained and his camera seized. FBI Agents did
not appear to have probable cause for a detainment. Mr. Warden subsequently
complained of an injury to his left arm as a result of the physical contact by
agents. The full video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npxnlhQEtJw
. (Be aware of some profane language.)
David
is part of a group of photographic journalist activists who specifically
conduct “audits” for the purpose of testing whether law enforcement will
respect individual’s rights to film public buildings from a public location. Mr.
Warden’s goal is not to illicit any
response from law enforcement but to ‘verify’ an individual’s First Amendment
rights are not violated. Given the negative response, there will likely be
complaints filed (at minimum) against the FBI and special agent in charge
(acting) Scott Brunner who was present during Mr. Warden’s
detainment.
Additionally, negative responses by officers such as this encounter, will
generally result in additional activists visiting the same facility in greater
numbers to conduct additional First Amendment Audits. As such, I highly
recommend the El Paso Office review its procedures regarding individuals
filming public buildings.
Refusal to be identified:
Texas
Penal Code Section 38.02
(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to
give his name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the person and
requested the information. - See more at: http://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-38-02.html#sthash.uszA16Xq.dpuf
1st Amendment right to Film:
Please
refer to case Turner v. Driver, US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals
ruling in February of 2018, which clarified that citizens to have the right
under the first amendment to film law enforcement in the course of their
duties.
Law Enforcement Procedures regarding individuals
filming federal buildings:
May
I direct your attention to US Department of Homeland Security Bulletin
HQ-1B-012-2010 issued 08/02/2010 (attached) directed towards Federal Protective
Services (FPS). While this bulletin is directed towards FPS/PSO’s, the guidance
applies to any law enforcement agency in regards to an encounter with an
individual taking pictures or video of any federal building.
Specifically:
“…Remember,
that the public has a right to photograph the exterior of federal facilities
from publicly accessible spaces such as streets, sidewalks…”
“Because
the initial interview is voluntary, PSO’s should not seize the camera or its
contents, and must be cautious not to give such “orders” to a photographer…. As
this constitutes a seizure or detention.”
Lastly,
I should note that none of the activists involved are Sovereign Citizens or
dislike the police. To the contrary, they greatly respect the police, however
they wish their rights were not violated simply for pulling out a camera and
walking down the street.

THE BOTTOM
LINE: Most
of my readers know that I too have been illegally harassed and threatened by
the FBI for simply writing the truth. As
in any illegal unconstitutional Federal organization without any oversight to
speak of, they tend to get out of control even to the point of becoming the
very description of crimes they claim to be protecting us from. Since the 1920’s
the FBI has illegally become a Federal Police Department/Gestapo, instead of just
an investigative department that it was intended to be.
Let FBI Director
James Comey know that you are watching his agents.
You
can cut and paste this letter to your email and sent it to James.Comey@ic.fbi.gov

Thanks
for listening. Now go do the right thing and fight for freedom.

The individual's name is David Worden, not Warden. He is not a former law enforcement officer. He was in the Air Force and his family owned a security company. He is a current and lifetime registered sex offender out of Texas, full name Earl David Worden. Mr. Worden used his family company's security guard vehicle and uniform to rape a young woman at gunpoint, and he has at least 2 other felony convictions. 3.4 seconds on Google will provide you with the truth about this rapist.
