She is probably telling the truth - if her story was unique I would question it but unfortunately it is far from unique. The photo blogs are full of stories of people being harassed for taking pictures in New York. In all fairness to NYPD most involve private security guards who tell people not to take pictures of the building they work for. But NYPD is not so innocent in this - a photographer was told not to take pictures of churches in lower manhattan, photographers were stopped from taking pictures near the stock exchange, a member of my photo club was harassed for taking pictures in central park (in that case the cop thought DSLR = professional shoot). There really is a "war on photography" going on in the streets. |
