NOTICE OF COMPLAINT
September 16, 2022
ICMS #: 2022-0819
On September 19, 2022, the OPO received an email complaint.
The complainant alleges: I just saw the videos below of
calling the police and
trespassing members of the public from a public
for public photography in the
publicly accessible areas of the
This is beyond outrageous and a violation of the
First Amendment. It opens you up to civil litigation. I've been to your
many times
and I've taken video and pictures with no problems. I've also seen many many people doing
the same things, especially when sending or receiving loved ones from a
or when we
see a celebrity.
even went SO far as to tell the photographers that if they're not
out, then they cannot be there. Ridiculous! I can't come to the
to meet my
girlfriend for lunch or buy something from you shops???
told the photographers that they had to get permission from your PIO. Your
employees do not know what they're talking about and they're misleading the public. Your
employees were enforcing their feelings instead of
policy and the law this is
unacceptable. They appeased the women at the
because they're friends and
again that's unacceptable. They refused to provide the name of their supervisor because
the photographers dared to film his friends at the

The first set of officers that came had to explain your policy and the law to your employees,
and let them know that the photographers had a lawful right to film there. But that wasn't
good enough for

SO they went and got another set of officers that didn't know
the law and would do what they wanted. Smug and ignorance is a bad combination when
dealing with the public.

24:00 mark on the second video.

Not a good look.
