Posted by Canton Viaduct on Mon Aug 14 20:15:33 2006, in response to Re: Removed from a train by the NYPD this morning, posted by Jeff Rosen on Mon Aug 14 20:07:12 2006. He continued asking for ID after I told him that I didn't feel comfortable doing so, and when asked why, was told "because I had been pulled off a train." He told me what I was doing was perfectly legal, but that it also involved documenting sensitive areas of the subway system. He placed my camera in his pocket. He had me go through the photos I had taken that morning. He read me the riot act, and even mentioned the FBI investigating similar activity. Then he told me to place the camera in my pocket and be on my way. Throughout it all, I could not leave the area, and was pulled off a train for activity within MTA guidelines.Following up on a complaint is one thing, and I have no problem with being questioned about what exactly I was doing, though I also believe he went over the line more than once, and that should go reported so both: a) it doesn't happen again, and b) he (or his superior) is informed how to properly handle subsequent situations. Until then, I would be concerned with an officer unaware of standard protocol moving around in the system. |
