"Filming Clients & Patients Is Now Treading On Some HIPAA Violations"

Today's installment brings me to this OC Health Care facility, where I exercised my freedom to record within publicly accessible areas of the property. As soon as I walked in & made my way past the reception counter, I heard employees telling me I wasn't allowed to record inside. A total of at least 4 more employees came out informing me that I couldn't record inside because it's a medical clinic. When I tried to get them to clarify that it's a publicly accessible building, being operated by the county. None of them seemed to want to acknowledge that. I heard a mention early on of the Sheriff's department being called, so I had to stay to continue documenting to see how things would play out. I did get a glimpse of the monitor showing all the different angles of the security cameras. When I asked what the issue was with my cameras, when they had no problem recording the public, they quickly turned off the monitor, so I couldn't see the various camera positions. After maybe 15 minutes had passed, a deputy arrived & proceeded to go speak with the county employees in the office. After about 5 minutes, the deputy emerged once again from the office & came out to the lobby to make contact with me. He acknowledged that it is a public building but went into the "however" indicating that since it's a medical facility, if I captured any patients on camera, that could be a borderline HIPAA violation. I immediately made clear to the deputy that HIPAA falls on the medical provider to protect any patient information & it wasn't my responsibility. He then went into stating how laws could change if loopholes are found & felt that I was being argumentative. I quickly made it clear I was stating fact & not opinion as the deputy suggested when I came to HIPAA regulations. I also told him that there was no argument & we were instead having a conversation. He made his points & I made mine. That's how conversations work. The deputy then seemed to back off, saying I was good to continue doing what I was doing. When he attempted to get my name, I told him I didn't care to give that information. Two other deputies also showed us after the encounter & they all eventually met outside to chat further, after I let the deputy know he might want to brush up on his HIPAA education for next time he has an encounter like we had. I asked the county employees on my way out if they had learned anything new regarding public photography/videography rights, but the door leading into the office from the public hallway quickly closed. Since the clinic would be closing for the day, I had no other reason to stay, so I exited the building the way I came in. Feel free to leave your comments below with your thoughts on this one & I thank you for taking time out of your day to watch!
