My choice to record the MPD 2nd District Station was based on the goal of exercising my rights only. My views on MPD and DC government policy and current leadership had no bearing on this video and will remain private for these purposes.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback concerning the music on my videos. I chose to continue using it for this one, but on the advice of one of my viewers, I included a microphone in the bottom right so it’s clear when there is dialogue if you want to mute otherwise.

Due to matters outside of my control, it was necessary to conceal the identity of one of the security officers involved.

For those wondering about the "information pertaining to video" language in my FOIA response, I contacted Secret Service's FOIA office and they claim that they actually did search for the footage itself, not just information pertaining to it.

At 4:25 I misspoke: the security officers are not public officials. Their company is contracted by DHS, though it has no bearing on whether they can be recorded in public. This is clarified at 5:45.
Paragon Security has been contacted concerning the actions of its personnel.

The National Assembly declared that Guaidó has assumed the role of president, but Maduro still enjoys the support of the majority of the armed forces. 54 countries have recognized Guaidó.
When Maduro's diplomats vacated the Embassy of Venezuela in DC, they left key cards with Code Pink and other American anti-intervention activists who are determined to stay in the embassy until Maduro's representatives return.
Outside the building on May 1st and 2nd, 2019, Pro-Guaidó Venezuelans protest the activists' presence and attempt to block more activists, food, water, and other supplies from entering.

Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Police personnel involved:
Officer Daniel- originally detains me on the sidewalk
Officer Lewis- handcuffs me, places me in the vehicle
Staff Sergeant Hook- orders Officer Lewis’ actions
Detective Mitchell- released me from detention
The base police department faced controversy in 2017 due to PD personnel posing for a photo pretending to beat one of their own: http://www.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/controversial-photo-leads-to-internal-investigation-of-joint-base-myerhenderson-hall-police

I recognize carrying ID is not best practice, and doing so was an oversight. I have heard your feedback and have since used that procedure on an audit that has yet to be published.

To be clear, I introduced myself by my first name (which is redacted) to be friendly but refused to give my last name or ID.
This was my first video. My choice to visit the Israeli embassy was based on the goal of exercising my rights only. My views on Israeli politics and US Foreign Policy towards Israel had no bearing on this video and will remain private for these purposes.
Note: After searching the truck K-9 Officer "Joe" stopped to talk, holding his dog within approximately a foot of one of the embassy security personnel. The dog showed no signs of aggression and Joe clearly wasn't worried about any aggression from the dog. This demonstrates that he ordered me to move only in an attempt to deny my right to film. Sorry for not including it originally, but here is a link to that clip on imgur: imgur.com/I43E5yo
Update: A complaint concerning the Secret Service K-9 Officer has been filed with the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
