A US Census worker came to my house today in Greenville SC to give me a piece of paper and punch in the GPS coordinates. He would have not told me about the GPS unless i asked. Then his explanation was to "matchup" the house better. I thought I was very nice to him.

Then as he walked around the neighborhood i shot some video as is my right even on a public street muchless my own porch.

He then came back and rang my doorbell to interrogate me on why i was taking his picture.

Particularly interesting is how he yelled he worked for the Federal Government. And I was invading his privacy even though he was just at MY front porch punching in a GPS to my front door.

He didnt walk away until I informed him it was MY constiutional right to film him. He wasnt happy at all. My neighbors were alarmed at his tone with me as they were walking by. They couldnt figure out why he was freaking out.

This is really disturbing. It seemed as though my camera was a gun to him. Even before i came back out to film he was staring at me as soon as i walked out. He was watching me before i even filmed him. I think it was because I asked about the GPS which he wasnt going to explain.

  • I work for the Census and there are a a significant number of people who get off on mistreating census workers, they hate government and it's the easiest way to direct that anger, the politicians wont listen, we have to go to houses. No one likes to be spied on, cameras in public are there to tape locations, not specific people. Anybody would become irate if followed and filmed, not for real purpose, but to annoy, harass and try to find something wrong with what he is doing to use against him.

  • @ChiefInspectorClouse your filmed literally every time you step out of your home esp with satelites what a pathetic and nonlogical argument

  • this dude is a lil bitch

  • Beware of the USPHS. 

  • You have to expectation of privacy while in public...which means...you can take whatever pictures you want while in public. I guess he doesn't go to Wal-mart, K-mart, Target, or any gov't buildings if he doesn't like his picture being taken.

  • Population: A few

    Population: A lot

    Population: Too many

    That should suffice for the road signs.

  • Something I recently learned is that Lockheed Martin, one of America's largest military contracting companies, who makes bombs and fighter jets and anything else that is designed to kill people, was involved in collection of our census data and scanning in the forms. So how can they explain that when they say this data is private?

  • The dad was acting all scared... "I didn't film you.." What a pussy!

  • -every govt. never lies to the public, they always are forthcoming with information, and no govt. has ever been distrustful...if you believe this well...
