A:
There is no commonly known statue or sculpture referring to "no recording" at Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) buildings in the United States. However, many DMV offices have policies that prohibit or restrict photography, video recording, and audio recording inside their premises.
These policies typically apply to all visitors, including customers and members of the public. The primary reasons for such restrictions are:
1. Protecting the privacy of other customers and DMV staff
2. Maintaining security and preventing disruptions to DMV operations
3. Safeguarding sensitive personal information and documents
It's important to note that these policies may vary by state or even by individual DMV offices within a state. Some states might allow limited recording under specific circumstances, such as for media purposes with prior permission.
If you plan to visit a DMV office and wish to record inside, it is best to contact the specific office or check their website beforehand to familiarize yourself with their recording policies and any exceptions that may apply.
