The Property Owner in the video is identified solely as "Travis." There is no indication as to the location, but it appears to be somewhere in the South.
The Census Worker is not identified by name.
A confrontation ensues at 2:48 minutes in. The Census Worker returns to confront the Home Owner for videotaping him going door-to-door.
The Home Owner then asserts his Constitutional Rights.

Seems to me that if that census taker wasn't up to something then he really had no reason to worry about being videotaped. All the home owner had to do when the guy returned was to order him off his property and the census taker had to comply under the law. All government employees, cops etc. must leave when ordered to by a property owner unless they have a warrant. If the census taker does not leave, it's defiant trespass and he can be arrested... At least here in Pa. anyway. :)
Which means we're going to be seeing a lot more of this. There's too many Constitutionalists, libertarians, and Property Rights advocates, who know the law.
I'd say the Census people are going to have a real tough time in the coming months, year.
What a chickenshit homeowner! Why was he afraid to tell the census worker that he was recording him? Why was his partner hiding behind the door? I thought this was going to be a video of a confrontation. Instead, it's just a census worker trying to explain to a homeowner who he is and why he's there. It's just another example of what I predicted. Conspiracy theorists will whine and complain but, ultimately, they won't do anything.
Boring!!
Like the Jews had to "explain" to SS officials knocking on their doors in the late 1930s, how many residing in the home, their jobs, their family and relatives, other Jewish friends of theirs.
And later, we all know the result.
Great,a government version of the Jehovah Witnesses, this is going to be fun...not.
bint alshamsa, it isn't about being afraid,it is about it being none of the Big Brother Governments business.
Conservative Scalawag,
Actually, it is the government's business. When natural disasters strike and citizens want the government to come and rescue them, they have to know where there are people living.
Furthermore, GoogleMaps already shows more stuff than this GPS project will. If you're upset about someone being able to know where people live, then you're already too late.
And what if citizens don't want the government to rescue them?
You're making a mighty big assumption there, that all citizens are a bunch of helpless little wards of the State, who can't take care of themselves in a natural disaster.
It's called SELF-RELIANCE.
Eric,
"And what if citizens don't want the government to rescue them?"
Then they can simply stay out of places where the government is rescuing those who do want and need to be rescued.
"You're making a mighty big assumption there, that all citizens are a bunch of helpless little wards of the State, who can't take care of themselves in a natural disaster."
Actually, you're making the assumption here. I never said anything about all citizens being helpless. No matter how much you may wish otherwise, there are plenty of people who can't take care of themselves in a natural disaster. When Hurricane Katrina hit, there were so many elderly and disabled individuals who died because, as self-reliant as they may have tried to be, they weren't more powerful than the forces of nature.
It's perfectly okay with me if you'd rather die than allow a rescue boat to come and save you. However, it certainly isn't anything admirable nor is it anything that I think others have a responsibility to do.
