Citizens are going around filming(video) federal buildings and military bases from public areas. Military people are coming off base and telling these people that it is against the law to film. The Supreme Court has ruled that if one can see it from a public space it is okay to film. They are detaining them and asking for identification.

Watched one in California where they detained the person on a roadway/highway

need more??
