The story behind the scenes is explained here..I found it so funny that with all the rules violations the cop that confronted them told them made an issue over the photography and not much else: Cop: You shouldn’t be doing this. Me: Oh, really? We looked up all the MTA regulations and made sure that we didn’t violate any of them. Cop: Well, first of all, you can’t be taking photos. That has to stop. Me: Actually it’s legal to take photos on subway platforms. The MTA discussed banning it a couple of years ago, but it didn’t happen. Cop: Yes, but you can’t have all these people here. It’s too crowded. Me: Like I said we’ll be gone in a matter of minutes. Cop: Thanks. He was nice about it. I thought it was funny that he kept changing what it was that we were doing wrong. Other than putting up the signs (which could be easily taken down, leaving no mark), we didn’t break any MTA rules. It’s OK to dress up, drink a non-alcoholic beverage, and walk around a platform. Check out another "Improvisation" that did and read the comment by MTA's attorney about midway down the page Lester G. Freundlich September 22, 2009 at 5:37 pm Do not do this again on the subway, unless you have official permission from the new York city Transit Authority. What you did without permission created a serious public safety hazard. In addition, you misrepresented yourselves as authorized by the MTA. All of the above is dangerous and naot [sic] good. |
