Today's video takes us to this Chase bank location where we tested our freedom to document along the public sidewalk. There was a fairly steady flow of customers coming & going in & out of the bank & property. After about 20 minutes of us being out here, security approached telling us they don't want us filming. I was unclear who "they" were, so I asked the security guard who exactly & he said Chase bank. I asked if I worked for Chase Bank & the guard said no . He then asked if I was going to keep filming him & I let him know, yeah , as long as he was standing in front of our cameras. After some small talk, he returned inside. A while later, we noticed someone who appeared to be a bank employee assisting a customer at the ATM. When they were done, the bank employee approached us 11qwanting to know if he could speak with us away from the camera. He was a good 4-5 feet from us , so I let him know he already was away from the camera 😁. He expressed concern regarding our recording of the ATM area & the possibility of capturing customer information. I let him know that I would continue recording with my cameras & he too returned inside. The same bank employee came back outside a few minutes later, this time with tape & paper notes, stating that the ATMs were currently unavailable . I can't help but give this man kudos for finding a solution to a situation he felt was a concern by protecting his customers' information . Soon after that police arrived around the back side of the building, & to our surprise, it was the same two officers from a previous encounter. They once again let us know the bank called because now they were apparently concerned with us blocking the driveway. I once again let the officers know we had no intention of blocking any traffic flow & they then left without further incident.
Thanks for watching & I invite you to chime in the comment section below with your thoughts on this one!
