Tucson Mall Tucson AZ

 This is Tucson Mall. Security level is medium to high and is stricter than Park Place mall. This is the first mall I've been kicked out of for filming elevators, which is NOT a crime. I was only kicked out for a day. The first time, I didn't do good filming all the elevators because security kicked me out, but this time, I did good. I managed to film all the elevators in this mall without getting busted!!! There were security cameras in some elevators.
