Chase scenes - action and reaction from the public




Running in a SWAT uniform brought in a lot of phone calls to the police station!

More on this, along with photos, a little later tonight!


Later:
Despite the "Filmmaking in Progress" sign, and efforts to notify the police,
and talking to neighbors, etc., people were calling into the police station--45 calls! So several police officers were dispatched to check it out.
More later.

Turns out,
after the initial serious approach, they noticed our "filmmaking in progress" sign, our camera on a tripod, and our friendly hello's. The officer chatting with us took an interest in our project, asked questions about the uniform and said there was nothing illegal about what we were doing. It was simply causing so many people to call in to ask what's going on, so they asked that we choose more discrete (or indoor) locations.

It was another Rubik's Cube moment.
