Posted by NJCL2308 on Wed Apr 15 19:24:43 2009, in response to Re: VIDEO-HASSLED BY NJT EMPLOYEE OVER VIDEO, posted by NJCL2308 on Wed Apr 15 19:22:40 2009. Copy of the message I sent NJT:Good evening. My name is Kurt Weber, and I live in Long Branch, New Jersey. This evening, I stepped off of train 2305 from Hoboken, which I had ridden from Hoboken, and proceeded to take a video of it, seeing as how A) I am a railfan and it is my hobby, and B) The train had two locomotives, which is a rare and newsworthy occurrence. As I recorded I was approached by two employees and instructed by one to stop what I was doing, since it was quote-unquote "illegal." However, the letter posted here (http://www.thejoekorner.com/njt-photo-ok-letter.shtm) issued by former manager George Warrington states that photography from public areas (which is where I was standing) is perfectly legal. However, the employee informed me that "since Warrington is no longer manager, the letter no longer applies." I do have a video chronicling the first few moments of the encounter, which is located here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=897bjr1nEuo) However, it cuts off before the employee "informed" me of this apparently contradictory policy. Additionally, he told me that "it brings unwanted attention to employees, which is what we are," I didn't not get his name or position, however I can relate to you his physical appearance: He was a sharply-dressed gentleman in a suit, tie, and coat. He had ginger-ish hair and stood about 5-8. He was accompanied by another man. I had previously seen both men get on the train at the MMC employee stop.The other employee remained silent throughout the encounter Following the "encounter" they both proceeded into the railyard, and, presumably, to the yard office. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I apologize for the lack of descriptive information, however I trust that you will use it to the best of your ability. |
