I work for Paragon. The entire state of Virginia has been trained and retrained over and over on first amendment issues due to videos like these. Different areas are trained independent of each other, but keep up the good work and California should get the hint eventually too.
Love the first guy. I have actually had encounters with him before some of our meetings. Very professional. I even audited him as they have a sign in sheet for public. I refused to sign it stating its an open meeting and he was exactly the same as this video. Very professional and just said we like to have a headcount of people in the building. Which was a stretch so I just continued on. Of course I went back and thanked him. It was a true trust to ensure the public could attend our Government meeting without restriction. Of course they all know me now so I cannot do a true followup. Thank you for this share as it shows he still respects our rights while doing his best to follow policy.
First Amendment Tests maybe a reverse call flood for that officer doing his job. everyone gets negative feedback but rarely positive. a Pay it forward type call to action. any contact information available to give kudos ?? thank you keep up with the good work
I'm only a few seconds into this video, but I just wanted to comment that I think it's so cool that you come right out and say that this is a first amendment test. So many cops in these kinds of videos try to get the filmer to admit that they are deliberately trying to provoke the police to action (which many filmers lie about and deny), but you're brave enough to just put your cards on the table. Thanks!
First guard gets an A+ he did exactly what he was supposed to do as a security guard. Made contact, was polite, and notified up the chain of command as needed. Second Guard...Epic fail, go back to the soviet union where your "laws" could actually apply.
On federal.property, armwd security csn detain yku as long as it takes fkr FBI, DOD, DACP, or any other federal officer/agent to arrive and formally arrest you.. Not to mention that many states give their armed security arrest authority..i live in VA..armed security here has full arrest powers, and in South Carolina, their Issed ID card says that armed security officers have the same authority as a Sheriffs Deputy
In California, PSO's have no power to detain. I'd they attempt to do so while making a citizen's arrest, they may be liable for false imprisonment. The guard was smart enough not to try it.
@@FirstAmendmentTests correct...however on federal property it is different, as they are niw enforcing federal law in addition to local and state laws. Now..once he is off that property he has zero power..so he was right not to push this issue. He was wrong about what he said, he was wrong about his authority once he came outside and left the curtliage of that fed bldg.. My point that I was making is that PSO on federal contract have different authority than one working a state contract, for instance. And in other states, theaws relating to authority and security are much different
Another great video! They probably don't comprehend the written policies. For example, there may be a policy where film crews who are authorized to film inside the building cannot identify employees.
Hey man I just want to give you a huge props for respecting people who are respectful to you. Doing these audits confrontation tends to come quickly some of the other TH-cam channels that do First Amendment audits often say things to try and provoke guards or police into doing something wrong. You don't do that and that makes the video all that more enjoyable. You're doing a good thing keep up the good work!
Please. For your own safety, don't tell them that you're "Going to hit some of the other places, too!". Words like "HIT" can be taken literally, and, that would give them all they need to hassle, detain, arrest, and/or God only knows what else against you.
Someone should let these "Guards" know that violating the Civil rights is a Felony and if convicted they could be on the next boat to where they came from ....
Being a private security guard standing on a public sidewalk, and threatening to detain me? That won't fly. You have no authority over me. So how're you gonna detain me? Putting hands on would get a severely painful response from me. And Dr bills for you.
First Amendment Tests your videos are absolutely fascinating. The first security guard was polite and professional. I could tell he was Filipino. Having spent a lot of time in the Philippines myself I recognized the classic Filipino friendliness coming out of this guy. However, the other security guard was a completely different story. He was probably a former KGB agent. That or maybe a bodyguard for Putin.
Inconsistent responses stem from a lack of training. Poor training encourages Guards/LEOs to make their own rules. Sadly,this is a big problem in the LE Industry.
Any adult who walks up to someone holding a camera and tells them not to film them is not smart enough to he allowed in public alone. Let alone have the authority as guard.
I like the videos of the cops getting put in their place. I feel bad for the security guards. They aren't paid very much and are trying their best to do their job. Cops are paid 6 figures and have extensive training. There is no excuse for them.
I've recorded a handful of federal buildings. I also recorded the State building down the street from this location. Security acted pretty stupid, but it wasn't entertaining enough for me to make a video out of it.
John Jones I have nothing against legal immigrants migrating to this country for a better life as long as they don't threaten my way of life, but the same applies to natural citizens as well. I don't think keeping immigrants out is the answer. American's are not the chosen people of god, nor is it an exclusive club. They should be screened, agreed, but not barred.
Next time when they ask you what and why are you filming etc., tell them that you are looking for officials that would violate your rights, so you can sue for compensation.
Ok as a Lieutenant to a previous security company i would have lost my shit the way the 2nd officers uniform he looked totally unprofessional and out of uniform half the stuff he is issue was not even on there and not shaved. The first officer was professional officer and handled himself in a professional manner and would love to have a officer like him on my staff. That 2nd one would be with out a job
I swear these security firms and police departments need to educate their employees about those recording and taking pictures. 1st Amendment over rules them.
being a licenced security guard, i can say that some places don't train well, some may make sure you pass exams and stuff, but when it comes to on the job, they are basically thrown in most of the time, so i would say the second person was scared of what would happen if the employees were recognized by others who may cause harm, while the first guy didn't mind probably cause he had nothing to be scared of, to me it should be perfectly fine to video or take pics of a place, but if you are purposely like aiming at certain places around the building, that can be suspicious
this why we are losing our freedom people don't respect our rights as Free Americans. I might disagree with you but I can't deny you your rights. US Army veteran .😎
" You have no authority outside of that building". Done! I know it makes for good 'sport' and more interesting video clips, but long is wrong in dealing with self-important mutts who might get physical. Good job in bringing to light the lack of a standard policy.
Seriously when i started working security, one of the first requirements was proper literacy and communication skills. Though to be fair the first guard was polite and made no demands, and was friendly even when denied. Second guard should get back to being a thug for the KGB. Just to be a smart ass you could say "That might fly in the USSR but try that here and you'll lose a few teeth in the action of self-defense."
"Officer" Vitaliy is obviously from a country where people have no rights. Now that he's been invested with a tiny bit of power, The Motherland Mode launches.
I have to go to this building sometimes and I hate it. It's not even a "federal building" it's a private building with federal offices in it, so the entire building has to be "protected."
There are some federal buildings in Sacramento. The main one that comes to mind is where ICE is at 7th and Capitol Mall. There is also a federal court house at 5th and J. Paragon has their Sacramento office at 3111 Fite Circle, Suite 102. I had to go there to serve a subpoena, what a bunch of jack asses. There are some unmarked buildings in Rancho Cordova as well. I've been looking at google maps trying to remember where they were.
Didja ever notice that the goons will say, "I know." or "I understand." and then go ahead and continue being stupid? If you know, if you understand, then why are you still standing her talking at me? I still contend that a requirement for employment is that one must have suffered a severe head injury in the recent past.
The Russian guy, Funny. Just make it up as you go along, I guess. I didn't know he had legislative authority over congress. I guess that's why he threatens with his pen.

Lol that second dude came out acting like "i am strong like bull".
Yeah, definitely a good cop vs. bad cop kind of situation.
First Amendment Tests maybe a reverse call flood for that officer doing his job. everyone gets negative feedback but rarely positive. a Pay it forward type call to action. any contact information available to give kudos ?? thank you keep up with the good work
*person throws himself in front of the camera*
DON'T TAKE PICTURES OF ME!🤔
Long awaited! Great to see you're still up to it! Thanks again for posting! You're definitely my favorite channel.
my uncle says he's pretty sure that first guy took a shot at him in Vietnam back in 68'.
Security officers are never prepared to deal with someone who knows the laws. Keep up the good work!
Why are all the "security" guards at US Federal buildings foreigners?
EJ Benko no one else will do it...
Diversity.
cause everyone in the usa is foreigners
I'm only a few seconds into this video, but I just wanted to comment that I think it's so cool that you come right out and say that this is a first amendment test.

We detain you, by way have you seen moose and squirrel ?
They make good sushi and vodka in there.
Sulu & Chekov both in one building after the USS Enterprise was ripped apart?
What are the chances
First guard gets an A+ he did exactly what he was supposed to do as a security guard. Made contact, was polite, and notified up the chain of command as needed.
Second Guard...Epic fail, go back to the soviet union where your "laws" could actually apply.
Not to mention that a *Private Security Guard* claims he's going to detain you. WOW! That's a lawsuit in the making.
On federal.property, armwd security csn detain yku as long as it takes fkr FBI, DOD, DACP, or any other federal officer/agent to arrive and formally arrest you..

You are my favorite auditor lately. I think you're the cat I called Dave by mistake. Lol. Btw, first guard was great
"In Moscow Russia, camera takes picture of YOU!.......... Oh, wait, it does that everywhere... Nevermind. You go now, no more pictures for you"
I would have told the second guard to shut his mouth and return to the inside of the building, before I charge him with a federal crime.
That sounded like a challenge, more reasons to stay longer!
surprised the Russian guard didn't say," I must break you" lol
Another great video! They probably don't comprehend the written policies. For example, there may be a policy where film crews who are authorized to film inside the building cannot identify employees.
In Soviet Union you no take picture, picture take you.

Skrub Life Agree, he's far more mature than some of the others.
glad to see you're back with these first amendment tests.
The President of the United States is a Federal Employee. So according to the second mall cop, it’s against the law to photograph the POTUS. LOL!!!
Please. For your own safety, don't tell them that you're "Going to hit some of the other places, too!". Words like "HIT" can be taken literally, and, that would give them all they need to hassle, detain, arrest, and/or God only knows what else against you.

What the hell is with so many foreigners working security on our government buildings?
In Soviet Russia, employee photograph YOU!
welcome back.. I was starting to think you stopped doing videos.

With a heavy accent he said: "If you take picture of employees, I have to send you to siberia".
Any adult who walks up to someone holding a camera and tells them not to film them is not smart enough to he allowed in public alone. Let alone have the authority as guard.
why1itsme bullshit. Just because you know of these laws doesn’t mean everyone does, or spends time watching videos like this.
I'm just sitting here waiting Mr. Fowler to come out of no where and stop you.
"I must break you" After Rocky beat Ivan Drago he got a job as a security guard in the US. No wonder he is sour.
Paragon doesn't have time to actually "train" their security guards so they have either learn civil rights, or make it up as they go.
Where have you been? Good to see you're back.
Welcome back, long time no see.
Lol, that was awesome. You shut these security guards down with a few simple questions.
I like the videos of the cops getting put in their place. I feel bad for the security guards. They aren't paid very much and are trying their best to do their job. Cops are paid 6 figures and have extensive training. There is no excuse for them.
KNOWING your rights = PREPARED. EXERCISING your rights = THRIVE. SUBSCRIBE.
Did you ever record any of the other federal buildings? Any reactions from the other Sacramento locations
I've recorded a handful of federal buildings. I also recorded the State building down the street from this location. Security acted pretty stupid, but it wasn't entertaining enough for me to make a video out of it.
And neither one could speak decent English. This is why we certainly do not need more coming over here. It's terrible.
John Jones I have nothing against legal immigrants migrating to this country for a better life as long as they don't threaten my way of life, but the same applies to natural citizens as well.

lol says the settler! You mean there is too many of your kind here!
Pole opposites : Friendly to an Assassin. Excellent work First Amendment Tests.
Tell them if they take your camera - its called armed robbery. Which technically you have the right to fend off with deadly force..
Security Guard has no authority on the public sidewalk!
Vitaliy must not have been present when the lecture on rights was given.
I think we need more upstanding concerned citizens like Micah Xavier Johnson to deal with this cops!ASAP
No photos of moose and squirrel!
"watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat...."
Aww, Bullwinkle, not again!
Great video. Thanks VERY much!
I almost fell over when the guy opened his mouth and the thick Russian accent came out! Only in the US!
great video as always, pls stay safe
Call DHS I think the second guard was a soviet spy.
Next time when they ask you what and why are you filming etc., tell them that you are looking for officials that would violate your rights, so you can sue for compensation.
Comrade INSECURITY needs to learn the limits of his jurisdiction.
Ok as a Lieutenant to a previous security company i would have lost my shit the way the 2nd officers uniform he looked totally unprofessional and out of uniform half the stuff he is issue was not even on there and not shaved. The first officer was professional officer and handled himself in a professional manner and would love to have a officer like him on my staff. That 2nd one would be with out a job
Ivan must be thinking about laws in Russia
"You're shooting the federal building"
"Yes"
Dangerous choice of words.
so two people who bareley speak english or can understand it work for the Paragon security at a federal building. Seems legit.
I swear these security firms and police departments need to educate their employees about those recording and taking pictures. 1st Amendment over rules them.
If you take one more picture of employee I shall report you to Moose and Squirrel !
I genuine don't mind the guards having limited understanding of the mother tongue, it is having total ignorance of the countries laws that appals me.
Tell Alexander Vodka, this is not Russia and you can't just take a person's property without permission or probable cause.
Please get that guy to ask you for papers in his accent. Then use it as intro to all videos.
Maybe I his native Russia, but not in the USA
A China man and a Russian walk into Murica.....
Does the last name Manzano sound Chinese to you?
In Soviet Russia, picture take you!
You might get permission to "shot." Welcome to America.
You captured good guy / bad guy, all in one filming.
man your intro snippets are hilarious dont ever change it !!!
boy are you a nice guy, if an armed man came up to me and said he was going to take my camera or property he would be leaking out of several places
Vlad needs to trot off back to Russia.
Two foreigner immigrants in charge of security. How ironic.
Reminds me of Grand theft auto when you don't touch controller for a while
being a licenced security guard, i can say that some places don't train well, some may make sure you pass exams and stuff, but when it comes to on the job, they are basically thrown in most of the time, so i would say the second person was scared of what would happen if the employees were recognized by others who may cause harm, while the first guy didn't mind probably cause he had nothing to be scared of, to me it should be perfectly fine to video or take pics of a place, but if you are purposely like aiming at certain places around the building, that can be suspicious
Paragon pays well.
this why we are losing our freedom people don't respect our rights as Free Americans. I might disagree with you but I can't deny you your rights. US Army veteran .😎
Is that security guard form Russia
Do any Americans work at that federal building ?
Lol That second guy made me think Moose and squirrel.
" You have no authority outside of that building". Done! I know it makes for good 'sport' and more interesting video clips, but long is wrong in dealing with self-important mutts who might get physical. Good job in bringing to light the lack of a standard policy.

Just to be a smart ass you could say "That might fly in the USSR but try that here and you'll lose a few teeth in the action of self-defense."
In Mother Russia, camera detain you.
Apparently someone can't let go of the USSR and thinks he brought the spirit with him when he immigrated to the US.
Ieen Soviet Rushia ieet elligal to take fotograf of Federal peoples!
"Officer" Vitaliy is obviously from a country where people have no rights. Now that he's been invested with a tiny bit of power, The Motherland Mode launches.
The second guy must be ex-KGB!
Are there any rent a cops that know anything about the law..... i think not
These guards must know that they have no power off the property they work at.
They just chose to ignore it because they hold no power at home.
OMG A Russian working at a US Federal Building
This Russian spy would not know the first amendment from his first peppermint!
Your intro is hilarious!
Are they legal in USA? Russsian as guard, is this a joke?
How on earth do these security guards keep their jobs?
"You vant to go zat vay, ve vill go."
Ruski is guarding the building. What!
is that boris or natasha
Another foreigner working security at a federal building, this is epidemic.
I have to go to this building sometimes and I hate it. It's not even a "federal building" it's a private building with federal offices in it, so the entire building has to be "protected."
You're right. I thought is was owned by the feds, but I looked it up and it is indeed leased.
There are some federal buildings in Sacramento. The main one that comes to mind is where ICE is at 7th and Capitol Mall. There is also a federal court house at 5th and J.

Ask the second guard to say "flying squirrel".
Didja ever notice that the goons will say, "I know." or "I understand." and then go ahead and continue being stupid? If you know, if you understand, then why are you still standing her talking at me? I still contend that a requirement for employment is that one must have suffered a severe head injury in the recent past.
