Amtrak Police Confronts JNReport for filming TSA at Chicago's Union Station

Following my video back on July 5th "TSA Invades Chicago's Union Station", I went back to Chicago's Union Station on July 18th to meet with the Director of "Why in The World are they are Spraying Mike Murphy". Before I met with Mike; I walked around Union Station to see if TSA was still lurking around the Union Station Grounds. As I approached Metro's Union Station Restaurant I spotted a group of TSA agents about to eat lunch, so I decided to document them again at Chicago's Union Station. As I began filming I was approached by a member of Amtrak Police who noticed me from my prior TSA video. The Amtrak Police officer admitted to me that the government has seen and sent my TSA video over to them for reviewing. I was also told not to film TSA inside the Amtrak Passenger area, and if I did, I would be arrested for trespassing.
The bigger question is- should the American public have a right to film TSA agents? Or should we trust them with securing our airlines, railways, and buses?

Photography and video recording within restricted areas are prohibited. Individuals found in a restricted area will be subject to investigation and possible arrest and seizure of photography and/or video recording equipment may occur pursuant to the arrest. This policy applies in all circumstances, including where Amtrak may be promoting a photography contest or event.

What is that called Ebonics talk ?

You should have stopped conversing, kept filming, never gave them your I.D., and offered to call the real police, since they were acting as rogue agents. Speak little, say much.

Awesome! Nail this piece of shit!

I just encountered the officer in this video yesterday! Needless to say just because i didnt "fucking walk" when told to and after he grabbed me i get kicked out and now a law suit is filed on this officer

I don't agree. Amtrak is a government agency. The area is open to the public. Court rulings have upheld our right to photograph government officials and operations that are public. The TSA's own policy allows recording. The is some room for discussion about the private property aspect but in general I believe in the end it is functionally public. It's not a simple equation as you suggest.
