Federal Reserve Police Tells Reporter to Stop Filming

On a routine “broll shoot” for a news story, I was just filming wide shots of the Federal Reserve building in Washington DC. I was on the public sidewalk, no tripod, with a medium sized camera. I had filmed the White House, Treasury, Capitol Building, and National Academy of Sciences with no problem. 45 seconds into filming the shoot, Federal Reserve Police approached claiming I was breaking the More.. law. “But this is THE FEDERAL RESERVE, SIR.”
