Time Text
We're here in San Antonio, Texas, about to cover a student RFID protest in just mere
We stopped here at this neighborhood Walmart to check for directions.
And as you can see, we're surrounded by not only a Walmart, a GameStop, a Staples office
supply store, but also a NSA data mining center.
Let's go.
Now, in 2008, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has happened again since then, a journalist
was detained for 45 minutes for filming the then under construction NSA data mining center.
We have been able to avoid detention here and we are not going to press our luck.
This is Ja'Kari Jackson for the InfoWars Nightly News.
Hey NSA, if you decide to confiscate this tape, we are truly looking for the
visitor center and we would like to take a tour.
you Yeah, we're trying to find the visitor center.
Do you guys do guided tours here?
No, we don't.
Do you guys have any, like, information we can take home or anything like that?
Information as far as what?
I mean, just, like, what do you guys do here?
Because, like, you guys do have a visitor center.
Is that correct, sir?
We don't.
We can't get that information out.
Okay.
Are we being detained officer?
Absolutely not.
Okay, just asking.
Just getting some information.
You're asking me for info, I'm asking info for you, right?
Hey, can you answer my questions if I ask you some questions?
Okay.
Can I get your ID, too?
Well, sir, she's not driving.
Why do I need to give you my ID?
I'm trying to verify who you guys are.
You're asking me questions and you don't know who you are.
Who am I talking to?
Okay, what is it that you want to know?
Because you understand this is restricted government property, this area?
Well, sir, like I said- There's a sign right here that states, no electrical equipment, no video camera, no filming.
Okay sir, we'll be happy to leave.
I'm just asking, can you confirm for me that there is a visitor's center over there though?
How did you know there was a visitor's center?
Sir, there's a sign over there.
I'm just asking, can you confirm that it's over there?
I'm not being a smart aleck.
I know, I'm asking you, if you saw a sign, why are you asking me if there's a visitor's center?
And what is your name officer?
My name is Sergeant Rivera.
There is in fact a visitor's sign.
When we got over there, we didn't see any clear marketing that said visitor's center.
Yes.
Can you at least confirm from my camera that you do have a visitor center here?
I cannot confirm anything, sir.
I think I'm going to see someone in front of that car.
Rob.
Hey, they still got us out here.
They got three cop cars on us.
Oh yeah?
What'd they say?
They're not letting us leave.
Yeah, I asked if we were detained.
They said no, but they're checking both our driver's licenses.
It's been like 10 minutes now.
We're sandwiched in.
We can't leave.
Yeah.
Are you taping all this?
Yeah, we haven't turned the camera off.
No, they said we're not detained, but they won't let us leave.
No, he won't confirm what this building is.
He just said it's a government institution and I asked him where the visitor center is and he's like, why do you want to go to the visitor center?
Yeah, we got whoever the guy was.
I couldn't, his shirt said something.
I couldn't make it out.
I think it said like national security or something like that.
Yeah.
I guess, I mean the larger issue is, are they San Antonio police?
One of them is San Antonio police, the other have unmarked vehicles, so I'm not sure who
It's completely unmarked.
Okay, hold on.
I'll try to get him over here.
I'll try to get him over here.
Excuse me, sir?
Officer?
My boss is on the phone.
He'd like to talk to you if you have the time.
Actually, I'm conducting my business right now, so if you could, go ahead and hang up while I'm talking to you.
Okay, he's requesting that we hang up the phone.
Why is that?
My boss is asking why is that.
Why?
Because it's common courtesy to a police officer that I'm talking to you, the driver.
Okay.
Okay, alright, alright.
I'll put it right there.
They're coming up on the other side of the car too.
Yeah.
So.
What's happening?
They said they're still conducting their business.
Like I said, it's been at least 20 minutes now.
He said it's common courtesy not to talk on the phone.
Yeah.
Oh, now you're telling me you don't have common courtesy.
Here they come, here they come, here they come.
Alright, hold on, hold on Alex.
Put the phone down by the side.
Alright guys, you guys got a business card?
Yes, yes I do.
Matter of fact, officer, this is my boss's business card.
He's actually, he'd like to talk to you guys if you have the time.
Okay.
Sure.
All right, man.
You guys are free to go, man.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you, sir.
And what's your name, officer?
Please don't come back here.
Okay.
We won't block this entrance again.
Thank you, sir.
Okay.
All right, Alex.
They said we can go.
And, uh, yeah, we just had a encounter with, uh, at least one police officer, two unmarked vehicles, one marked vehicle.
I'm here filming Melissa Melton.
We came out here to the NSA Data Mining Center in San Antonio, Texas.
They got out, they left us out here for at least 20 minutes as they ran their checks.
