>>3897421Kek, I was taking photos of surveillance at a federal building (just the SSA office, which who gives a fuck) a few years back and some desk jockey came huffing and puffing over to me as fast as she could to tell me that it was against the law to shoot photos of federal property. I showed her this exact document, so then she started taking my photo with her phone and asking how i liked it. I pointed out that I was already under surveillance as soon as I was within range of these cameras, so why would she bother me? I asked her why it was okay for the government to surveil the people, but not the opposite and she didn't have a good answer. Then I asked her why it's okay if a private entity like Google surveils you, and she also didn't have an answer for that either.
But, yeah, it's totally legal to shoot photos of federal property from public land. There's a really phenomenal photographer named Trevor Paglen whose work features this very concept.
