No one here denies someone could/has used public photography for malicous purposes. What one has to ask themselves is is that risk worth creating a society where no one is allowed to take photos in public? I don't see any difference btw your argument and the argument of authorities regarding "terrorism" and photos of transit infastructure.Fear is exactly what the creeps/criminals/terrorists aim to achieve as it is. Life inherently comes with risks and one of those is being in the public eye for all to see. How many of the passengers you said complained about someone taking their photo at the same time have a facebook account or shop on line? People put their personhood at far, far, greater danger everyday w/o truly realizing it. You can do much more damage to a person by getting hold of their SS number or bank card than by having a random photo. I'm not trying to poo-poo your arguments, especally if someone is overtly being creepy. Just realize that A) Not capturing people in urban transit photos is completely unrealistic, and B) Your mindset is what's making railfanning an increasingly difficult proposition for all of us. " |
