Photographing Federal Buildings

The ACLU confirms You Have Every Right to Snap That Picture of a federal building.

"The three-page document plainly states that ‘absent reasonable suspicion or probable cause’ security personnel must allow individuals to ‘photograph the exterior of federally owned or leased facilities from publicly accessible spaces.’ While we’re pleased that the federal government circulated the memo, there is no guarantee that all federal security personnel have memorized it. Therefore, we encourage anyone who is planning to photograph or film outside a federal building to carry a copy of the memo as a precaution. "
