Harassed for Photography (Port of Tacoma, WA) (With USCBP Officer Daniel)


Part I of this video starts after security personnel contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection, while I am in the public access area at the Port Of Tacoma, WA. Federal Officers respond. Officer "Daniel" arrived first but refused to give me his badge number. He did, however, draw his firearm on me because I happened to be legally armed and acting in a peaceful manner Stay tuned for parts II and III, as well as accompanying clips of the security officers who first responded. For questions addressed to the US Customs and Border Protection Office, in Tacoma, WA: Their number is (253) 593-6336 ********************************************************************************************************** I am often asked why I am shooting photography or video in a certain area. I am accused of trying to "instigate" and encounter with law enforcement or security personnel. This is simply not the case. If I find a location particularly interesting...if I see something that stands out to me, it is in my nature to film it. It is not my problem that certain people have problems with my legal and constitutionally protected activity. It becomes my problem when THEY confront ME. If they choose to approach me, while I am peacefully engaged in legal activity that is constitutionally protected activity, they will be filmed. If I have to endure being treated as a criminal, terrorist or thug, they will have to endure being documented and having the incident shared for all to see.
