There are just too many incidents of police officers telling people to stop taking pictures in the subway. Most people reluctantly obey. They may or may not post about it on Flickr or the other photo sites - complaining about how they missed the shot of a lifetime or how the cop threatened them - believe me the stories are there and it is happening. But because the photographer backed off the cop got to enjoy his power trip and doesn't pursue it further.OTOH Nilet seems to stand up for his rights, tries to argue constitutional law with the cops, and demands names and badge numbers. So you might say he is being punished for being assertive. The fact is that the cops should not be telling anyone to stop taking pictures. They can question the photographer but they should never stop anyone from engaging in a LEGAL activity. |
