Q: I'm just wondering , if i am recording a federal building the police is allow to ask me about my identification ? also are police officer require to get a warrant to tap conversations occurring over phone or no?
A: David's Answer: I'm not aware of a prohibition against photographing federal buildings, unless you're loitering or trespassing. Moreover, it is not illegal to film the police unless they can say that you're "obstructing governmental administration." Finally, generally police need a warrant to tap phone conversations. For a full assessment, schedule a consult with a Bronx Civil Rights lawyer. - David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
