I've explored all around the United states pal. Not just Texas lol. I'm originally from New Jersey...clearly you haven't explored the mass hospitals if you don't think you'll get arrested there if caught...

I've never run from security or the police and I don't cover my head or my face when entering and/or doing photos at a location. I also don't go to a location with 4 or 5 other explorers.

If I know that there is security present, I give things another thought and usually will not try to gain access to the location. With no security present, one just has to be aware that a neighbour or passerby might call the police.

If I wanted to break into a place or otherwise look like someone with bad intentions then I suppose I'd pull a hoodie over my head tightly and have my face covered along with some plan to run. In this scenario the guards/police are more likely to treat you like a criminal if caught and hand you a nice tress-something citation.

Like others have mentioned, dealing with security or the police comes down to sensibility: they are allowed to be there, but legally, you are not. They have to do their job. I've never received a tress-something citation and have only been asked to leave a location. This has only happened to me twice and it was at the same location (alot of druggies were also scrounging around there and they were often given a citation) but with different cops.

I think it depends on what type of location one is wanting to access and where. I'm in Canada and if security is present then I might consider getting the attention of one and telling that person what I want to do (take photos). They might tell me to beat it or they might take it as a moment to kill some time on their shift and show me around.

Again, depending on the location (country) and tress-something laws it just comes down to us knowing the risks and not skulking around like thieves.

Cheers ~ Acadian

Actually I have on multiple occasions. Maybe you just look like you're begging to get arrested =P no idea but I and the people I explore with have our stories and none of us have been arrested or had a run in with security or police that was close to it.

Give security a warm pot roast dinner on a cold winter night and they'll let you explore all you want ;)

Both major abandoned places I've visited were hyped up online to have security patrolling at all times and being relatively hard to get past. That being said, both places I have not had to dodge or even have seen any security. Maybe I'm lucky, but more than often security is not as bad as its made out to be. From what I've heard if you do get caught just calmly talk to the security and explain your just taking some pictures and exploring, not vandalizing or harming the area, and they'll either just ask you to leave or even actually take you on a tour. I still say if you spot them from a far enough distance get out of there, but as always stay cautious and security shouldn't turn out to be a problem.

I work security full time, generally we're told no touching and no detaining. Usually we're chill, we hate our job sometimes, hate the conditions, tired ect. If you're relaxed and explain 9/10 either you'll just be asked to leave or sometimes given a tour.

Just let me make clear, sometimes that's impossible due to the property manager/client. A guard can get in MAJOR trouble going against what the manager wants and can be fired so if the guard pulls the "Sorry, not my rules" they're not trying to be a dick they just need their job.

Sometimes if you're really cool they'll let you know when their shift is over and it's not their problem anymore as I have done for skateboarders at my site.
