@Scott: How were we intimidating? What lie(s)?

you do what you want to do … you know the law far better than I. I’m familiar w/ photographers rights. It just seems to me that you were showing as much intimidation and harassment as the guards. You comment on the lack of respect and guards lieing … when you admit that you gave false information.

looks kind of shady to me.

“Obama is not going to do a damn thing about it because he has his hands full with larger issues.”

Since when is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech a small issue? Thousands have died protecting that right.

I live in a small town in West Ky. and we have 3 branch offices of US Bank here. I will be going out on Monday to take some local pics. I hope to have some fun with some of the local rent-a-cops here. lol.

Nice job! I’m an amateur photog who lives downtown… I’d love to join you guys next time you do this. If you have more photographers than security guards, won’t they look silly? How about scheduling it fairly early on a Sunday morning? Will they have multiple guards around? Would the LAPD be more available to come set the security guards straight?

Matt,

It’s not about convincing them. It’s about documenting it.

Why waste your breath with these people? They’re doing what their employer tells them to do. You should contact Jan Perry (http://www.lacity.org/council/cd9/cd9ci1.htm), Council district 9 Representative, Eric Garcetti, Council President, the Mayors office and the city Attorney. You should also contact the Central Community Police Station to complain about the harassment. You’re not going to get anywhere debating the finer points of the Constitution with the security guards at these places.
