So whar's the tentative conclusion from all this? That the whole incident was
a fake from the beginning?

I got that 'show me your ID' treatment taking these photos in a leased
govt. office parking lot (private building & security):

I gave them ID & went to the office but complained about it like in the
video that I hadn't done anything wrong & they didn't need my ID. I'd
leave if it's private property but there were no signs. Security guy
said maybe I was planning to come back & steal them :-| The guy at the
office waved me on.

Another time I was asked to leave, while prowling around a hospital in
the woods taking photos of the crazy vents & ducts on the back side of
the building <g> I did look pretty suspicious off trail looking for a
better angle:

-didn't get the shots I wanted... but nobody ever took my 'film'.
