US Bank Tower Guards Harass Photographers (Higher Res)

Hi there.

I have a legal question.

As the photographers/reporters are on the sidewalk, i..e public place, couldn't they have called the police and got the security guards arrested for harrassment or infringement of human rights, or any other laws? The security guards were in effect out of their "jurisdiction" and therefore had no power in "public space" and off private property were in fact the "public" and not security guards..

Thank you.

@stapley12 AFAIK this is actually what happened. The photographers called the police and they helped to sort out this situation. Bank Tower security now hands out courtesy cards for photographers that state their policy. It is, of course, still totally legal to film from a public space.

AS a Maguire stockholder I am disappointed in the behavior of these guards.

to the stupid reporter who is asking "why should not i take picture of the bank".
do not you know, that robbers are using your photos to make plans to rob the bank? or terrorists are using YOUR photos to make terror!!!? do you have a brain? or just camera is your brain?!!! STUPID REPORTER! doing his job... giving photos of places to the terrorists!!! these guards are doing their job too.. if you want them not do that, you DO NOT do your job EITHER!!!

@vasifka Stupid comment is stupid

robbers is the last thing i would worry about. terrorist is the thing today....

he is much more better than these jerks, and YOU! and how would you feel when these jerk cameras will take your photo in your nose??? will you feel good? you dumb ass rassist

rassist? lol!

wow can you not find anything better to do with your time other than harass a security guard in front of  a bank. all of the security issues that we have all over this country and you want to spend your time partaking in these types of activites!!! get a life losers!!!! let the man do his job instead of distracing him for a potential crime!!

those guards were retarded. apperently they didnt know the laws or were full of shit. i hold my rights to photograph on city streets and if the security guards did me wrong i would go after the company.
