The building has been a regular a target of anti-war protesters and the occasional bomb threat, which is why he was likely giving you a hard time ... and of course, bomb threats are no fun, especially when you aren't even the target. And honestly, the building is so damn ugly I'm not really sure why anyone would bother ... except perhaps to illustrate a point. If you told me your were photographing the fine modernist architecture I'd kick your ass, too.

The inside of the building is a private space. Your shots clearly showed the interior lobby.<br /><br />Otherwise, I'm behind you 100% with regards to the ignorant rent-a-cops.

I took my camera out to snap a few pictures of my own, and the producer/director told me that I can't take any pictures. I assume the same applies here, that since I was on a public street, that I had the right to take pictures if I wanted. But what about copyright/IP issues with stealing the "images" created by the models on the street?
