I'm posting a link to a video here that was deleted from youtube, despite being in compliance with YT community guidelines.
The video shows a videographer standing outside a Mexican Consulate building and politely inquiring about filming inside. A few moments later a guard approaches the videographer, who’s on a public sidewalk, telling him not to record. The videographer then holds up a copy of the US Constitution and the consulate guard tells him “that means nothing.”
I'd be pleased if the video was re-uploaded, reported-on, shared, remixed, or whatever else.
That means nothing. Cops do it all the time to intimidate.

>go to foreign consulate >expect them to give a fuck about your constitution Why?

NOT WHEN IT'S A DEMOCRATIC WE HAVE A SEPARATE RULE OF LAW JUST FOR US FUCK YOU DEPLORABLE FEEBLE MINDED REDNECK UBERMENSCH YOU'RE LUCKY WE DON'T GENOCIDE YOU INCELS

This is why people around the world laugh at Americans being stupid. Why should another country give a fuck about another's constitutions and laws?
Gabriel Flores
Embassies, not sidewalks outside.
Nathaniel Parker
Correct me if I'm wrong but consulates act the same as embassies in that they are not possession of their hosting nation. The United Stats constitution would have no meaning as it is effectively Mexican soil.
Brandon Flores
The Mexican embassy is literally Mexican land. Same for all other embassies.
Sorry you're such a retarded American.
Robert Peterson
Yes, that's why it's such a big deal when embassies are attacked during riots or demonstrations.
Cooper Nelson
"outside"
Nicholas Bailey
That's near equivalent to filming a foreign government office from across border. The sod taking video is likely breaking law.
Angel Davis
The sidewalk outside is not part of the embassy, he can film all he wants from there.
Luis Davis
Prove it though because I don't believe that to be the case.
Jack Long
You want me to prove that an area outside a consulate is outside the consulate? It is tautologically true, if it weren't outside, it would be inside the consulate.
Nolan White
Embassies are under the jurisdiction of that country for diplomatic reasons.
David Hughes
You need to prove its outside the consulate first because property in embassies csn go to the street.
Gavin Perez
Prove legality you dumb nigger.
Jack Diaz
Lawyerfag here. property belonging to the embassy that does not encompass the consulate is considered public land. only the consulate is considered foreign soil. don't @ me. I'm not going to waste my time schooling you when google exists.
Anthony Cruz
Im going to @ you because Im about giving you an intervention to save you from a field you're absolutely terrible at. The specific word used is premises, so unless that walkway is detached from the entrance it can be considered part of the mission.
Adrian Jenkins
>don't @ me. >@ you Please stop. If I cringe any more I'm going to have a heart attack.
Owen Fisher
That is true, although the law of reciprocity applies in this case.
Jeremiah Walker
>encompass the consulate maybe the edge of the road, not the edge of the building, is the encompassing bit here. i don't know for certain. do you? you act like you do.
Ian Johnson
I don't understand the issue. If the mexican retard is wrong then it's just chocked up to mexicans being retarded as normal. If there's some sort of rule that says embassies cannot be filmed then the guy is being a retarded "sovereign citizen" type.
Colton Jenkins
the issue is that the video was censored unjustly, not that the Mexican guy said no filming
Daniel Butler
>defending beans
fuck that. film whatever, wherever,whenever. they have a problem they can call the AMERICAN police.
Lucas Cruz
Not if the person was on the public sidewalk as far as I'm aware the embassy privilege begins only inside the front door outside where in America still
Juan King
>sweet Logically that means the entirety of the walkway is part of the consulate, including adjoining properties. With that logic I own about £20 million worth of housing,
Carson Myers
He thought the constitution was a "break all rules free" card?
Brandon Morris
Underrated. Platforms censorship no are, by default, publishers and beholden to all laws in regard to that
