The MTA also had an old law banning photography. A photo ban on the subways was in effect from 1940 - circa 1995. For the most part it was rarely enforced and railfans were routinely given photo permits so it was not much of an issue but someone was given a summons and the ACLU got involved. Rather than defend the ban in court the MTA chose to rewrite the rule to what it is today.

"Old laws" can be challenged all the time - it just takes a person with time and resources who is willing to do it
