Today, my boss Buddy Bao sent me to do some filming in Irving Texas.This is what happened. This video documents a “First Amendment audit” at a plasma donation center in Irving, Texas, where the creator films people entering and leaving the business to test public reactions and police response to filming in public. The filmer explains that they are exercising their constitutional right to record from what they believe is public property and compares their filming to the business’s own security cameras. During the encounter, an employee confronts the "filmer," claims the property is private, and threatens to call police. After a second conversation, the interaction becomes calmer, and no police arrive. The video ends with commentary from the creator about public photography rights, private property concerns, and how businesses and law enforcement respond to public filming.
