City of Olympia, WA (1st Amendment Auditing)
7:27 Security Guard leaves his post and walks out onto a public sidewalk to give instructions and deny my 1st amendment rights.
18:45 State Patrol Officer Diaz claims I don't have a 1st Amendment inside the Governor's office, by telling me that I cannot record my public servants; then quickly learns that he is not a friend of George Washington and hangs his head in shame.
So this was my first run at auditing the local city government in Olympia (aka: Oly) which is the Capitol City in Washington State.
I plan to go back and do the courthouses, county jail and other locations, hopefully late November or December.
I fully expected everyone in the City Capitol to be up to speed on the Constitutional aspects of public photography, but from State Patrol Officer Diaz, on down to the Security Guard at the Port of Olympia, the ignorance ran deep.
But it is a small town, and we all know by now that one person can make a difference; no matter how many trolls keep trying to tell me that what I am doing is pointless, that I should get a job, and that I must not have anything better to do.
When will they think of something better to say?
They all sound like little droids. Smh!

The Washington State Capitol building in Olympia

Olympia: State Capitol
The Washington State Capitol or Legislative Building in Olympia is the home of the government of the state of Washington. It contains chambers for the Washington State Legislature and offices for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and treasurer and is part of a campus consisting of several buildings. Buildings for the Washington Supreme Court, executive agencies and the Washington Governor's Mansion are part of the capitol campus.
After Olympia became capital city of the Washington Territory in 1853, the city's founder, Edmund Sylvester, gave the legislature 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land upon which to build the capitol, located on a hill overlooking what is now known as Capitol Lake. A two-story wood-frame building was constructed on the site, where the legislature met starting in 1854. When President Benjamin Harrison approved Washington's state constitution in 1889, he donated 132,000 acres (530 km2) of federal lands to the state with the stipulation that income from the lands was to be used solely for construction of the state capitol.
The legislature formed the State Capitol Commission in 1893 to oversee the creation of a new capitol on the property in Olympia, now known as the Old Capitol and home to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The courthouse became the location of all agencies of the state government and within a few years the legislature decided the building was too small and a new State Capitol Commission convened in 1911. Construction of the campus began in 1912, the Legislative Building was completed in 1928. Additional buildings on the campus were constructed during the next several decades.
The Capitol Campus was placed on the National Register of Historic Districts in 1974 and contains or contributes to some of the most valued views in the State including the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, Mt. Rainier, the Capitol Dome and the Capitol Group of buildings on the hill. The design of the Capitol Campus is a grand example of the City Beautiful style of the Progressive era of the early 20th Century
The state seal, which is featured throughout the buildings on the state flag, tapestries, railing, door handles and elsewhere. There is even a bronze version of the seal in the floor of the rotunda. Over time, George Washington's nose has worn down due to foot traffic on it and it is now roped-off to prevent further damage.
The Winged Victory monument, commemorating World War I, is one of the most prominent. Sculpted by Alonzo Victor Lewis from bronze, its granite pedestal has four inscriptions: They fought to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom, and democracy (facing south); the state seal and To the memory of the citizens of the State of Washington who lost their lives in the service of the United States during the World War 1917–1918 (facing east); Their sacrifice was to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world (facing west); and Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend (facing north). Dedicated May 30, 1938, the monument has been restored numerous times since then.
The Tivoli Fountain replica was designed by the architects Wohleb, Wohleb, and Bennett. Inscribed upon it is Replica of the Tivoli Fountain—Tivoli Park, Copenhagen, Denmark. Presented to the State of Washington by Olympia-Tumwater Foundation. Peter G. Schmidt, President. 1953.
Three major earthquakes have affected the capital since its construction in 1949, 1965 and 2001.
After the September 11th attacks, there had been a security checkpoint at the entrance to the Capitol building, complete with magnetometer and x-ray machine, but security has since reverted to its original state. The Capitol is one of the few in the country, along with Texas and Kentucky, with no restrictions on carrying firearms.
