I'm just going to go about doing what I'm legally allowed to do. Please don't interrupt me. I don't want to engage. You're already I'm hired to do this. And you're taking up time.

[00:03:22]It's not your business. I don't >> our business. This is our building. It's your building our building meaning what?

[00:03:28]Do we the people meaning my building, too?

[00:03:53]You're telling me I have to get tell you why I'm in this public lobby recording, and I'm saying I don't have to, ma'am.

[00:04:00]I'm perfectly legal sitting where I was sitting.

[00:04:04]The camera Are you hiding something here, ma'am? Why would you be acting this way to the public?

[00:04:10]Are you trying to hide something? All I'm doing is being in a public lobby.

[00:04:16]But like I said, please don't engage me anymore. You've already taken away income from me today that I was hired to do.

[00:04:24]Yeah.

[00:04:25]I'm losing money now, and I hope you're going to reimburse me for the time you're taking away from me now, ma'am.

[00:04:31]For doing a perfectly legal activity. I don't understand why she feels I need to tell her my purpose here. I don't have to. We're perfectly legal. You guys have a legal right to go anywhere in public and record.

[00:04:44]So, she's calling people with guns that she wants to see us go into a jail so I can bend over and have another man do the nasty to me. And it's not going to happen.

[00:04:56]Right?

[00:05:02]I was just looking for public information.

[00:05:05]Yeah, look what it turned into. My goodness gracious.

[00:05:09]Unbelievable.

[00:05:14]Thank you you guys for being professional. Appreciate it.

[00:05:23]So, at this point, nobody has asked us to leave. She's just calling because she's demanding an answer of why I'm here.

[00:05:36]And uh unfortunately, I don't even know who she was. Is her picture up here? Who is that lady? She never identified herself.

[00:05:47]What was that lady's name?

[00:05:50]Excuse me, folks. Can you tell me who I spoke to or the lady that spoke to me?

[00:05:55]What was her name? Is she up here?

[00:05:59]She's up here?

[00:06:00]Who is it?

[00:06:07]I don't know.

[00:06:09]Was that her? Mrs. May Thomas?

[00:06:11]No. Miss Sandra Moss?

[00:06:17]LaWanda Green?

[00:06:21]Was this her?

[00:06:23]Charlie Davis?

[00:06:29]Was it Charlie Davis? That's who we were talking to. Well, I guess for today she shaved.

[00:06:36]I don't know.

[00:06:37]Uh-oh, here we go. We got a lurker up there.

[00:06:42]So, all we want to do is get public information and leave.

[00:06:47]But it didn't turn out that way.

[00:06:50]Well, I I don't know. The police said come over here for records requests. Is that correct?

[00:06:59]Is this where we do a records request, a public records request in this building for the police?

[00:07:05]You don't know.

[00:07:06]Do you know, ma'am?

[00:07:09]You don't know either.

[00:07:10]Okay.

[00:07:12]Well, we're just going to wait. We don't know what we're waiting for. I don't know what number she told you to call. Was that the police, the Compton School Police coming here or the city? Cuz we're not running. We're waiting. We do this all the time. Is that who's going to engage us next?

[00:07:27]Well, she told you who to call. You can be honest.

[00:07:31]You don't want to be transparent and not go along with what they're setting you up to do. That's not good.

[00:07:39]You're going to get about 50,000 calls to this center because of her actions.

[00:07:44]It's better for you guys to just be honest, but I guess it's hard. This whole place uh This is a public lobby. They have the sign here, no access, which I never went beyond. I was sitting here, which is obviously the demarcation because if you have chairs in here, this is part of this public lobby. And she is telling me I need to tell her why I'm in here recording and then trying to step it up that there's children here and blah blah blah blah. It's ridiculous. Absolutely insane that we have our public employees acting this way, violating my rights by wanting me to tell them why I'm in here recording. And now they're calling Who? Who are they calling?

[00:08:35]Unfortunately, nobody's telling me who they called, but these two called.

[00:08:39]Or the one called, the female, not the uh security guard.

[00:08:43]He didn't call.

[00:08:47]All right. Go to live.

[00:08:50]There's the police.

[00:08:54]Yeah.
