Sources told us that signs were posted saying no recording. We went to challenge the notion that free adults aren't allowed to film/record from public.. ?♂️
We ended up having a great interaction/conversation at the end. Enjoy!

While filming the Marquette Heights Municipal Building, we were approached by the Chief of Police, William DeWayne Merritt. From the start, he has an attitude. Yes, at the beginning, i was unintentionally in a restricted access area. Upon learning of this sign stating the aforementioned, i removed myself from that area. When asked for his name and badge number, Chief Merritt claims he doesn't have to identify. So, after trying to encourage him to identify, I moved around in front of him to record his name badge. Before doing so, i even informed him of my intentions. This is when all hell breaks loose. He immediately goes hands on, shoving me back. This was just the first of several assaults by Chief Merritt on myself and Illinois Tyrant News.
