Were you breaking the law?
Whatever law is being broken doesn’t matter.
It’s their responsibility to identify themselves and they failed to do so prior to putting hands on me. They violated MY rights and I acted accordingly. I had no idea about anything back then as I was only a teen. I took a deal when I didn’t have to because I was bullied by a Judge, DA and the cops.......to save their face.click to expand

by the Terry v. Ohio ruling, police officers are allowed to detain and frisk individuals if the officer has "reasonable suspicion" that an individual is doing a criminal activity or has intent of doing a criminal activity
"Reasonable suspicion means that the police officer must believe that the individual has or is going to commit a crime and may be armed and dangerous"
"However, the Supreme Court has limited this search by stating that the detainment must be brief in nature and the police officer is limited to frisking the outside of the individual’s clothes. Additionally, anything that the police officer feels while frisking the individual must be immediately identifiable as a weapon in order for a further search"
so what? nor the 4th neither the 1st Amendment means his reaction to the officer questioning his motives are justifiable

Inside a post office?
It may differ from state to state but I'm pretty sure photography and filming in a post office is under strict guidelines.
You can only take photos for personal use as long as they don't disrupt employees.
He clearly stated he is posting this publicly online and since police were called, obviously caused disruption.
Also pretty sure your pics/film can't depict any postal service employees, customer, security camera, and customers info (aka cover of mail).click to expand

These people are lame and the system worked as it should. He knew he would provoke this exact reaction as he even stated. And on top of that he wore a holster to add to the 'Suspension' aspect of the fabricated scenario. Why wear an empty holster when taking innocent photos of a post office?
He was never detained as he continued progressing on his path, the officers used ZERO force to keep him from moving. They in fact walked with him and continued asking questions. He CHOSE to stop and engage law enforcement. They never searched him even after noticing the holster. And the police ultimately left without incident.
Ultimately this was a case of postal employees seeing what they thought to be questionable behavior and called the police. Well within their rights to do so. The police show up as the man expected, police ask questions as part of their job as it related to original call. Man refuses to answer questions. Police then determine guy is just another antagonist who only wanted to elicit a reaction and police leave the scene.
While I do believe everyone should understand their rights, I believe people like this actually hurt more than help. I tend to believe most of this comes from a place of entitlement and not responsibility.
And technically I guess he broke the rules of the Post Office as a self proclaimed professional.
"Professional Photographers and Film/TV Production Companies
People who request to take professional-grade photographs or film on Postal Service premises must be referred to the Office of Rights and Permissions, and they will be required to sign a license and/or location agreement prior to taking any photographs or filming. Included in this category are documentary and student film-makers and photographers."

May I ask a question since you live in gun country?
How do you feel about about carry? Or just Texans in general.
I don’t have an issue with open carry.
When Texas was more Conservative nobody was concerned about guns. Hell, half the people had shotguns in their back window or behind the seat.
There’s only been an issue since the California and NY liberals have been coming by the tens of thousands for the tax breaks.click to expand

Also.. get out of here with your Timothy McVeigh straw man crap.
It's not a straw man. The Feds are very concerned about the immediate area (including public space) around their facilities. This includes people photographing non-tourist buildings. There are regular patrols in the city park across the street from the federal building just down the street. The enhanced security started AFTER the OKC bombing. It's extremely relevant.
If you engage in suspicious activity, then get stopped for said activity, you really can't complain.click to expand

He CHOSE to stop and engage law enforcement. They never searched him even after noticing the holster. And the police ultimately left without incident.
Ultimately this was a case of postal employees seeing what they thought to be questionable behavior and called the police. Well within their rights to do so. The police show up as the man expected, police ask questions as part of their job as it related to original call. Man refuses to answer questions. Police then determine guy is just another antagonist who only wanted to elicit a reaction and police leave the scene.

I would imagine the first video in its entirety is similar to this one.. I have a reasonable suspicion, anyway.
Tell me, how is inside the post office public property?
You clearly see the PO boxes and the inside of the office?

well, it didn't really even get that far, like @Tartarus said, the guy was just told he was detained, yet he moved around freely, and the officer didn't use force or anything, he was just being questioned about his motive, which he refused to answer to the officer.
and then hes just start flapping every amendment he can imagine would work for his benefit, to talk about the 5th he would need to go to trial or be actually arrested (which he didn't) AFAIK
he's just a jerk trying to get a reaction, and then go surprised-pikachu face when he gets the reaction he's getting

If he was just photographing the exterior while standing on the sidewalk I doubt there would be an issue at all. I just dont believe that's all that happened, and I think the video was deliberately cut so that it began at the confrontation he knew he would entice.

you get arrested for a crime, photography is not a crime, you get detained if someone complain about you taking photos in the post office as you violate their regulations.
detain =/= arrest
detain =/= crime
You get detained when you are suspected of a crime.
Detaining a citizen without reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime being committed or about to be committed is a violation of the 4th Amendment.
"Unlawful Detention, occurs when a police officer or other state actor, acts under the color of state law to deprive an individual of their Fourth Amendment Constitutional right to be free from illegal searches and seizures. In everyday speak, an unlawful detention occurs when a police officer detains you for an unreasonable amount of time without probable cause to do so. This “detention” does not necessarily mean an actual arrest. Unlawful detention may occur if an individual is detained for an unreasonable amount of time
A police officer doesn’t necessarily need to arrest or charge an individual for there to be an unlawful detention. Typically, if the individual reasonably believes they are not free to leave without fear of arrest then they are detained. This does not mean an officer may not confront an individual. Police officers may at all times confront an individual and ask them questions. This is known as a consensual encounter. An officer may also briefly detain an individual if they have reasonable suspicion supported by clearly articulated facts that a crime may be afoot. This kind of interaction with Police is called a Terry stop. A Terry stop which may become a full blown detention if it lasts for an unreasonable amount of time or if other factors such as handcuffing or detention make the brief detention feel more like a traditional arrest."click to expand
