Posted by Palal on Mon Nov 13 19:58:11 2006, in response to Detained on WMATA while taking pictures, posted by Palal on Mon Nov 13 14:59:31 2006. > Did you have printouts of the email from WMATA and the official policy from the website with you during the incident?No, that was my biggest mistake. I assumed that since I didn't have a problem two years ago, I wouldn't have one now. Although the police officer basically would have made another excuse to prevent me from taking pictures. > I think you would have been much better off just moving on and going to another station or coming back later. This seems to be an isolated incident, I can't recall the last time I had trouble taking photos on the Metro. If the policy allows me to take pictures, why should I have moved on? Are we living in a totalitarian society? While I realize it's become more totalitarian filled with fear after 9/11, that doesn't make it right. I'm not fighting for a cause, I simply want for others to follow the same laws that I'm subject to. Oh, and as most will probably here will agree with me, banning photography does not increase safety in general. > Do note that photography at the Pentagon station is prohibited. I'm aware of that :). Thanks :). |
