\"20140303_224152\"<\/a>The security camera overhead in the elevator of the fancy building was annoying. Who wants to be videotaped picking their nose or cleaning food from their teeth? It’s just a residential building, we already answered the security guy when we were buzzed in and he asked which residence was our destination.<\/p>\n

The idea of taking a picture of the security camera seemed worthy for this blog. A bigger surprise was that the security guard also wanted to be in the blog. He stopped me when the elevator opened.<\/p>\n

“What were you doing?” he ordered.<\/p>\n

“You mean in the elevator?” I asked like seeking directions.<\/p>\n

“You’re not allowed to take any pictures here anywhere.”<\/p>\n

“That’s not true,” I calmly explained, “you can take a picture with your phone anywhere. It’s public space. It’s an elevator.”<\/p>\n

“You aren’t allowed to do that! What apartment were you in?\u00a0Who were you seeing? How did you enter the building?” He was turning red. I remembered this from shattered substitute teachers failing to control our class when I was in junior high school.<\/p>\n

“Look guy, I’m leaving. This is stupid.”<\/p>\n

There were two doors necessary to open to get to the street and I imagined he might automatically lock them from behind his desk with 20 monitors of other suspects in elevators or stairwells. Did he also have a switch to make the floor open and drop me into a waiting tank of killer sharks?<\/p>\n

But the doors worked. I made my escape.<\/p>\n

I had a horrible thought later. What if he had a taser? I bet he would have shot me because I had the nerve to not be on my knees acting ashamed of taking a picture of a camera taking a picture of me.<\/p>\n
