J.P. Morgan Private Bank Brickell Ave, Miami

Since I've heard that my current bank (HSBC) will be eliminating their U.S. retail banking, I'm planning to move my four bank accounts to J.P. Morgan Chase. I have been very happy with HSBC since they provided me superior service when I lived abroad (in Abu Dhabi and Dubai). I hope J.P. Morgan Chase can do at least the same.

I remember coming here in April 2012. Let me explain why I did... I'm an elevator enthusiast with Autism and film elevators for YouTube and I am from Canada. I filmed the Elevators and when I got back to the lobby I was rudely greeted by a security guard. I didn't get his name but he didn't say hello or anything a professional security guard would say. In a very rude way he asked me "What are you doing?" My response was "I'm an elevator enthusiast with autism and I film elevators as a hobby. Is there a problem?" His response "Don't you realize that photography is prohibited here?!?" Then I said "Well how am I supposed to know? There are no signs saying that photography is not allowed here." He called me a retard probably because I have autism and when he called me that, I was furious and got firm (did not yell or curse at him). He asked me where do I work and I told him that's none of his concern. Then he told me to delete the video of the elevators! After I did that he told me to delete everything on my phone! Seriously?!? This is MY phone! You have no right to delete my personal stuff on my phone! Then he threatened me to smash my phone if I did not delete everything on it. Excuse me but you have no right to smash my phone and the way you are handling this is beyond unprofessional and childish. Yes I did say that to him. What's wrong with you guys? Is this how you treat someone with a disability? Then he told the other security guard to take a picture of my face. For what? Then I said "You know what? I'm leaving! Because I have no time for your crap!" The guy tried to block my way and I told him to get out of my way. He did eventually but when I was leaving I told him "Photography is NOT a crime." His response "Photography is a crime." I just gave him an angry look. If you guys EVER do anything like that again to another elevator photographer, I'm going to tell everyone what happened to me here publicly! That's because I have freedom of speech and that's what the law says! I know you're a bank and photography in banks can be limited in those kinds of places but there's NO need to harass someone who's just taking a video of an elevator(s) and has a disability. Just let them know that it's not allowed or please get permission first in a polite and professional manner. That would have been much better. Well that's all I need to say about my experience here. Hope you guys will understand these kinds of things and not let someone get harassed for taking videos or photos. Thanks!
