Actually posting this video of this woman without her consent (via signed release forms) is illegal and she could sue you for defamation. ...Just so you know.

@rodneyj42 Thanks for the concern, Rodney. Issues you failed to consider: First, this was recorded in public; therefore, no expectation of privacy. Second, editorial use; no permission needed. (I am US based)

@tommcelvy The security officer wasn't harassing you, she was just doing her job. The company is a really cut throat company. She was kinda caught between a rock and a hard place. G4S (f.k.a. Wackenhut, G4S Wackenhut) has been known to fire people on the spot for doing what they were supposed to do vs. what they were told to do. I know it is not right but according to that company, "The client gets what the client wants!" She was calling her Lt. to cover her own butt.

@deutsch2k5  Wow, you are way off! First of all I am a guy. That is why it is a male voice! And I am very much AGAINST the OWS protests - nothing but a bunch of little kids. The security guard approached me and asked me to stop a lawful activity, which she cannot do. I was on a PUBLIC sidewalk taking a pic of something in public view. Case closed!

I'd like to bone her and cum all over that cute face of hers...

@rodneyj42 LMAO, in public there is presumption of privacy, so explain HOW a person can be defamed by being video taped in PUBLIC? You either live in the UK or Australia or have no clue of how the First Amendment to the United States Constitution works.

She is cute ,most G4S females I have seen are fat.

@rodneyj42 In what way was she defamed? I don't see how what she said was misrepresented here to cause harm to her character.

[rodneyj42]

Some issues *you* failed to consider! Editorial Use: you're assuming you have press credentials... you don't (see Josh Wolf). The woman could sue you for defamation, and win. Public place: sure, you can *photograph* all you want... and show them to people in you own living room perhaps... but once you post in public in any way you have to have releases for all recognizable people or you are open to a suit... please go take a basic photography class, kthanx

@fmycsmith Agreed about the girl just doing her job (it seemed she didn't even know why she was supposed to be doing it), but he was being harassed by Wackenhut whenever he went by there.
