Posted by BMTLines on Fri Dec 14 13:48:11 2007, in response to Re: MTA training (Re: Called A ''Terrorist'' By A T/O), posted by SelkirkTMO on Fri Dec 14 13:29:50 2007. The NPPA addressed some of the NYPD/MTA issues at the MOFTB hearing yesterday:Complete text here As the MOFTB may be aware in 2004, the MTA proposed a ban on photography and videotaping on buses and subways as a terrorism-prevention measure. The NPPA strenuously opposed those rules and ultimately the MTA withdrew them. Unfortunately just last week the NYCLU filed suit against the NYPD after one of its officers allegedly detained and handcuffed a graduate student who was taking photographs at a subway station. The NPPA believes that it is in everyone’s best interest to avoid this type of situation and we would hope that there is a genuine willingness on the part of the MOFTB, the NYPD and in particular the DCPI, who deal directly with the press to prophylactically address these issues. I appreciate the opportunity to represent NPPA before you today. Thank you. |
