Summary (after a can of 100+ n coconut drink)
I took photos of Big Box Building (Jurong East) within their compound, on 12/03/15 around 1930 and was not stop by any security. I went off to work after that.
13/03/15. I was walking from the other side of Big Box, took some photos from opposite, no one stop me.
I then went to the side of the building (opposite of when I am last night). Stood on PAVEMENT, not even on their red paved road, I was stop for taking photos by security.
I told them it's for hobby and they want my name and contract. They don't have writing material, they want to take photo of my IC/ID!
I told them that's not the way and I got right to take photos since I still on pavement aka public area. They can't stop me from taking photos. I told them that I will call police, they dares me.
They went into office and enjoy air con and laugh at me sun burn over there for waiting for police but luckily for me, there is shade!
Police Officer came, listen to our story. One of the officer also went to the spot which I took the photos.
I told police, no sign of 'no photography' plus, I ever did photography inside JEM and was not stop, even with tripod. Policeman agreed.
Police says I am ok to go on taking, as long next time give them name and contract number will do, no IC required!
Security go hide one corner and chit chat after questioning, obviously they only work while outside idling and scare of been questioned due to there are CCTV when I am there to take photos.
Photographer 1, Security 0! :thumbsup:
I dare to challenge those (3 to 4 of them) security cause I know my rights. Call police, I also can continue. Must complain to their management, else their work too easy, enjoy air con whole day only! I now also wondering, should they go chase/stop the google car then!? :sticktong;p
