How far away from Federal buildings, or property do you have to be to take pictures, or videotape?

spaceshotx7 asked:

I know that outside federal buildings, or even off federal property (ie: across the street from the building on the sidewalk), there have been issues about people being detained or questioned by authorities, or even Law Enforcement for photographing federal buildings, even from public property. I don’t know what the rules are. What even gives security guards in federal buildings the right to enforce photography restrictions off federal property? How far way from the property do you have to be?

There is no law preventing photography. Just don’t look suspicious when you are doing it.

Legally…the sidewalk…In George Bushes America – It’s illegal and you will never be heard from again if they so choose.

Just wear a shirt that says “Back Off I read the Constitution” and you should be able to photograph the inside of the building considering this is still supposed to be the United States ruled by law as prescribed by the constitution.

I say we ALL drive to Washington DC and tar and feather the whole Bush administration…and of course put the video on YouTube for the world to see that the Americans finally woke up and took back their country.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!
