Posted by BMTLines on Sun Dec 9 10:55:49 2007, in response to Re: Called A ''Terrorist'' By A T/O, posted by Jeff Rosen on Sun Dec 9 07:56:26 2007. The law says that photography is permitted - the motorman did not commit a prosecutable offense -no - but he did violate the photographer's right to take pictures under the law. The rule does NOT say "may be permitted at the discretion of our employees". It says very clearly and unambiguously "IS PERMITTED". What if someone took a day off to photograph the system RELYING on the rules as stated in the MTA website only to be told by an employee acting in official capacity that he can't do it? The photographer has a reasonable expectation to believe that the rules will be respected by the agency that issues them. If the MTA were a private company their butts would be hauled off to small claims court for damages (lost time, wages, etc...) Since they are a government agency it is a bit harder but the NYCLU needs to get involved since the agency is apparently tolerating such statements from its employees. |
