Damn had a weird encounter right now and ill break it down cause im bored, it was some guy with a tripod and camera trying to not be seen. I followed him to this dark back area and gave a friendly hello while walking all slow. He picked up his tripod and said "oh, hello" then i went full security guard
"Nice camera. I saw you on camera and just wanted to know exactly what you're taking pictures of and the reason why. "
" oh uh, I'm a night-time photographer actually, it's my hobby. "
" Oh really? That's kind of cool. Do you have a website or anything? "
" Well actually I'd like that to remain private "
"Oh. I thought I'd check it out is all. Can I just see your drivers license for a moment?"
"Uhh well actually id rather not"
"Hmm. That's weird. Is there any reason why you don't want me to know who you are? "
" Well i think you're accusing me of doing something and want to know who i am so that you can contact law enforcement authorities and have me arrested. "
" Well, yes, if you're back here doing something you're not supposed to, "
By now it was clear he was just some guy who's had security / police encounters doing this before and is into that sovereign citizens shit.
"I don't think you are though. This is just protocol for whenever someone is seen taking pictures of our building; we want to know who you are, what you're recording, and why. Nice building though right? Well if you're leaving, I might as well walk with you"
Escort him off property with disarming small talk about the the area and how it's changed over the years
