Marquinius Posted May 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2009 Ah, I almost couldn't sleep from worries about that I wonder how long it takes before they realise that the real goal of terrorism is already reached: terror (of the masses). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted May 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2009 Mojobebop - Every day in New York I see people taking pictues in the subway and of police (My own most recent ones were Thursday of this week). Almost every day I see police posing with or for tourists. I have never seen anybody hassled for these photos, and have not met anyone who has. Yesterday, however, I did ask permission in an atrium to take photos of a sculpture display and was granted it but told not to take photos of the inside of the building (except that which is in the background of the sculpture photos), which though disappointing, was reasonable.

(google it). this is factual. it is hit or miss. it happens, so altho probably the majority of cases are ok. the police do falsely arrest for disorderly conduct. they do lie, and people have pleaded guilty to avoid the hassle. fact. i live here and while in college, (1977), a woman complained and said i stuck my camera in her face and i was about to be arrested but she claimed she was too busy. i think it's basically up to the cop. an honorable person i doubt would do this, however not all police are honorable.

rosuna Posted May 25, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just returned from a week in NYC. I had no problems, except for two small incidents at MoMA and Metropolitan museums. The problem was with the brusque and harsh manners of the watchmen, particularly at the Metropolitan. The pictures were good in the streets... NYC is so interesting !!!!! Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted May 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted May 25, 2009 rosuna - Neither the MoMA nor Met guards have any problems with photos in the permanent collections -- I've done it dozens of times as you can see in the NYC pages on our site. Usually, neither organization permits photos of special exhibits, and posts signs to that effect at the entrances to special exhibits. I suspect you missed the signs.

rosuna Posted May 25, 2009 Share #10 Posted May 25, 2009 rosuna - Neither the MoMA nor Met guards have any problems wiht photos in the permanent collections -- I've odne it dozens of times as you can see in the NYC pages on our site. Usually, neither organization permits photos of special exhibits, and posts signs to that effect at the entrances to special exhibits. I suspect you missed the signs. Well, at the Metropolitan that was the case. It wasn't a special exhibit, but Damien Hirst's "shark". It was the only work with a "no pictures" sign, and I missed it. Anyway, the manners of the guard (a woman) weren't amiable. At the MoMa the problem was different. The guard said me I have to ask permission to any person I want to photograph inside the museum. I was allowed to take pictures of the environement (with people), but not pictures of specific people. I think he confused my 24mm Summilux with a tele lens... He was more polite in any case. When the NY museums close its doors guards become very abrupt in their manners, vacating people. I was very surprised of this. In Spain pictures are not allowed in museums, even in permanent exhibitions. I find pictures at museums very interesting (how people react to the works), and here it is impossible.

mojobebop Posted May 25, 2009 Share #12 Posted May 25, 2009 Robert Taylor probably knows the rules of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority better than most people. The 30-year-old has been working for the MTA for more than three years. But that didn’t stop a trio of New York City transit cops from handcuffing him, throwing him in the back of a car and locking him in a holding cell for more than an hour after he photographed an incoming train inside the Freeman Street subway station in the Bronx Thursday afternoon.

mojobebop Posted May 25, 2009 Share #13 Posted May 25, 2009 I was at freeman st on the 2 on the s/b plat taking pics…a officer(p.o mede/#6673)yelled to me just as I was getting on the train to leave….he asked for I.d; I showed him and he proceeds to tell me I’m not supposed to be taking pics…I told him that’s not true, and I’m willing to bet your paycheck…so as we’re in disagreement, his partner who is on the n/b side(p.o almonte/#3355)asked what was I doing…his partner said taking pics…he told me I had to delete them…I told him I’m not doing that….so he comes over to where me and the cop are at, and we proceed to go back and forth on what I can/cant do in regards to the photos….eventually, he called his sargent, and the sargent says I’m not allowed to take pics…I told him on t/a’s rules of conduct it says we are….the sargent tells me their rules and t/a’s rules are different….I told him, if you feel I’m in the wrong, give me a a summons and I’ll see everyone in court…the sargent says to arrest me….so after being brought down to district 12 to get a warrant check and all that good stuf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojobebop Posted May 25, 2009 Share #14 Posted May 25, 2009 Former New York Post Photographer Rick Dembow is suing New York City and the NYPD for causing a permanent injury, assault, false arrest, first amendment rights violations, improper supervision of officers in the field and numerous other charges. The photographer was taking pictures at an accident scene when he noticed another news photographer being arrested for taking pictures of the same accident scene. As Rick Dembow attempted to photograph the arrest an officer was instructed to arrest and handcuff Dembow: Shortly afterwards Rick Dembow sustained an asthma attack in the back seat of a police car where the windows had been rolled up despite the outside heat, as well as injuries to his wrist from overly tightened handcuffs behind his back. The news photographer was taken to a 19th precinct holding cell and then by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of an asthma attack, where he was left handuffed to a hospital bed.
