On Lisa Rein's Radar: A Little Too Much Excitement For My Taste

A Little Too Much Excitement For My Taste

I had the oddest encounter with a police officer today at the INS Detainee Protest in San Francisco at 444 Washington Street. (Note: protests going on from 11am-1pm all week long.)

Unfortunately, my camera wasn't recording when he came over to start asking me questions (I really need to just start the thing rolling and leave it going) and I was paying to much attention trying to understand exactly what he was saying to me -- and trying to figure out what exactly his concerns were -- that it didn't even occur to me to press the record button or anything. (Turned out my camera had already timed out.)

After all this happened, I was pretty much intimidated and didn't feel much like filming too much more today.

I didn't want to forget the details of what had taken place, so I had someone film me right afterwards while I had a fresh recollection...

That's too bad. I suppose they are doing this to keep people from casing out the place, but a terrorist / criminal could easily hide a camcorder / camera or just memorize the necessary details. At this point, I wonder where we'll have problems recording video, taking pictures or leaving the house.

BTW, you are cute. :-)

Maybe the police officer wnated you to leave because you are drunk?
