[00:00:04]Hey everybody, welcome back to the magic camera.

[00:00:07]>> [music] >> This is the place where you're going to find the most entertaining public filming ever.

[00:00:11]And I'm filming for Laruta Productions.

[00:00:15]So today's email has sent us off to Nocona, Texas.

[00:00:19]It's a little town. It's only got like 2,000 people in it. They're famous for their boot shops. They make Nocona boots there. But we're going to we're heading towards the Wells Fargo. We're going to do a little bit of stress testing the first amendment, maybe doing some interviewing of people, maybe throw some social experiments out there. Who knows?

[00:00:35]But it's public filming and it's the best channel ever for that. So, let's get into it, guys. We're almost there.

[00:00:43]Well, I made it to Nocona, Texas and I was getting my camera equipment all ready to go across the street to shoot the Wells Fargo when suddenly this little lady comes out of the building and starts yelling at me.

[00:02:00]>> I have to obey the state laws.

[00:02:02]>> Yeah, you do. We all have to obey the state laws. You're right.

[00:02:38]I'm not.

[00:02:39]>> No, we measured with a rope.

[00:02:40]>> Oh, you measured with a rope?

[00:02:42]Good for you.

[00:02:44]All right. There you go.

[00:02:48]This pole right here?

[00:02:52]Okay, go get your order.

[00:02:54]Go get your order.

[00:02:56]Go get your order. Go.

[00:02:58]Go. Here's the Smith. Bye.

[00:04:38]>> You want to read it?

[00:04:39]>> No, I'm not interested in that. I'm just trying to do my job.

[00:04:42]>> And this here is the end of the street.

[00:04:46]>> Okay, so 100 ft from the polling place is so >> From any door. At the polling place, ma'am.

[00:04:51]>> Okay, whatever.

[00:04:52]All right, thank you.

[00:05:18]So, these guys are freaking out. She's freaking out because she thinks this is a polling place over here. So, she's like, "Oh, you have to be 100 yd away from our door, 100 ft."

[00:05:32]Well, I have I happen to have I know that I'm more than 100 ft from her door, but she's freaking out over it. They're all freaking out cuz I'm a I'm recording on the sidewalk. I don't think that's right. I went and looked up the real rules, and the real rules say that from 100 ft from the door, you're not supposed to have any polling signs.

[00:05:51]Polling signs like vote for her or vote for him.

[00:05:55]As far as cell phones go, persons may not use any mechanical or electronic means of recording images or sound within 100 ft of a voting station. And a voting station is the area where the voter actually marks the ballot.

[00:06:08]So, if the voting station is way here in the middle of the building, inside, it's at least 40 ft to the door.

[00:06:14]So, that gives me 60 ft from the door where I can film. So, I was within 100 ft of the polling station the whole time.

[00:06:21]>> Some judge see you.

[00:06:22]>> I think I'm allowed to film on the sidewalk.

[00:06:25]Wow, she's freaking out.

[00:06:30]I always double-check what some official tells me because sometimes they are wrong.

[00:06:45]The show dismissed.

[00:06:52]She's freaking out. You're judge. Okay.

[00:06:58]She said she's a judge.

[00:06:59]I don't think she's a judge.

[00:07:03]So, I'm supposed to film the bank.

[00:07:11]Cuz that's what I'm getting paid to do.

[00:08:04]>> So this is the colony Texas.

[00:08:07]It's the West Fargo.

[00:08:14]Oh look at her. She's in the window thinking I'm filming her.

[00:08:18]Look at her.

[00:08:20]Like like why does anybody want to film the polling place? Look. Look.

[00:08:26]There she is.

[00:08:27]Freaking out.

[00:08:29]Freaking out.

[00:08:36]Why would I want to pull a polling place?

[00:08:39]Look at her in the window.

[00:08:41]So that's weird.

[00:08:45]She's saying I have to be 100 ft away from her any of her doors that she's a judge.

[00:08:50]Good luck with that. Now she's looking out the window at me.

[00:08:53]I don't know what to do. She's filming us.

[00:08:57]And I've got Oh my gosh. What what am I going to do? She's filming us from a far away. I got to be at least 2 or 300 ft.

[00:09:08]Oh my goodness.

[00:09:14]Oh my goodness. She's filming us.

[00:09:21]There she is.

[00:09:25]Slipping out.
