Sgt lies on report Lt does not believe complaint.

on 25 May 2021 I went to 515 s. Frio to ask where I could film in this area.
  The reason I asked was that on 26 April I was arrested for filming in public.  I was told I was in a restricted area, there are no signs and a public sidewalk with an open fence surrounds the building.
  Sgt Ling stated the police lobby was off limits to filming as was the public magistrate both of which are open to the public. 
  There are no signs restricting photography and Sgt Ling copsplained "rape victims and suspects" as the reason filming would not be tolerated. 
  1 police should not be interviewing victims or suspects in public lobbies.
 2 on the 2nd of June after filing a complaint with internal affairs I came back and was documenting the lack of signs and illegal tow signs that officers interpret as no trespassing signs..  
 3 Not an hour had passed since I stated I was not seeking disciplinary action but wanted the Sgt educated so he would stop threatening arrest for legal activity. 
  4 Sgt ling leaves "building" out of his report implying he only told me to stay out of the parking lot.
  A public building which not only includes the police lobby but the information services building the GIS office and other uses.  
  Some of the building is restricted for example parts of the police department crime scene department etc.  
  The Sgt does not allow me to clarify his unlawful order and walks off giving me a dismissive rude hand gesture.  
  Sgt Valdez gives an appropriate hand gesture (friendly wave). 
  This was a short video but my channel has much more content relating to this.  
 On 18 June Lt Zuniga was told of the unlawful orders and he was not sure at that point if I could film in the public lobby, he was advised to contact the city attn and he did.  
  He stayed they would notify the entire substation that it was legal for me to film in the lobby and in areas open to the public.
  He also stated they would look into the signage issues. 
  Lt Zuniga was notified officers had told victims they could not enter the building with a firearm.
  411.209 prohibits public buildings from posting 30.06 or 30.07 signs but officers misunderstand that and other signs and threaten arrest for it all the time.  
  I had Lt. Zuniga read the signs officers misinterpret and explained why citizens could carry in the lobby.
   Lt Zuniga admitted this was correct and acknowledged the reason for the lockers and sign inside were for citizens who had to enter the non public secure areas. 
  Officers including Lt Lopez continue to threaten arrest for legal activities at this substation because they do not understand signage.  
  My goal was to stop unlawful orders through educating officers.
  Some view that as harrassment.
 I view it as the correct thing to do before another citizen is unlawfully arrested.
