OK then, assuming arguendo that your bulletin was promulgated to all concerned, read, and understood (a big assumption as even people who send a memo out to 25 people know....):

You don't have to assume that. It's possible that some people haven't read it. But eventually everyone will have been cycled through the "anti-terrorism" training course where I believe they are told the same thing: contact control (or a police officer, supervisor, etc).

In the case of Nilet, isn't that what the engineer did? Arguably with some confrontation, though, on his (revised) account of it.

It's the other stuff she did along with it that was wrong.

Less specifically, do you know what instructions train crews were given by their supervisors orally, or what the NYPD tells its officers? Institutional culture can be very complicated, and very tough to overcome.

No idea. But is ignorance an excuse? It's not for us. The rules of the system are posted on the MTA website. The employees should certainly be aware of them. I've never heard any employee say that they were told they could get in trouble if they didn't confront the photographer. All the employee can get in trouble for is not following the bulletin, which says they must contact Control.

Ron, there are a couple of things that really piss me off, and blaming the victim is one of them.

If you ever suffer a completely unprovoked attack (with the closest thing to a provocation being a brief glance at someone you have reason to believe is a threat), then you will understand. Until then, your antisocial behavior is unwanted and uncalled for. Maybe some day, you'll be mature enough to understand.

And what does vouching do? You guarantee based on the same information available to anyone else that Nilet should not be doubted, and one should be satisfied by this?

No, not guarantee, just let you know that I know him and have seen no reason to doubt him.

The fact is that if the police feel that some conduct poses a threat to public safety, they have the absolute right to stop it.

So long as we're clear on "conduct" and "feel", this is fine. The government has broad powers, but not powers without end, i.e., they get to restrict the "time, place, and manner" of photography, in this case. A restriction is required to be reasonable, and so long as this is what the feeling is about - that the restriction is, in fact, reasonable - then they can take measures to enforce such restriction, including, if required, by enforcement through appropriate sanction, even.

Back to "conduct", well, conduct tends to not always be as protected as expression, especially so-called core expression, e.g., calling a politician a "war criminal" or "unpatriotic". Photography is a lot of conduct, so it's not protected to the extent, usually, that core expression is. That said, NYCT has regulations which do accord a right to take pictures that's limited by time, place, and manner. So the question is always going to be in the case of complaint that the police went too far, whether the limit placed was a "reasonable" one. Something that poses a threat to public safety would likely qualify as being subject to a reasonable restriction.

As a guy, as all guys learn (and it's something most girls don't), you learn early that you can't take on the world, down at street level. You don't go staring at other dudes. You don't get in peoples' way. When you're a kid, failure to learn this gets ya a butt whuppin at some point or another. And it's a good, cheap, easy-to-understand lesson.

The bottom line is there is no constitutionally protected right to unrestricted photography. If you think I'm wrong, try to film in a jail, or a court house, or a municipal hospital or in a nuclear power plant, etc.

The major difference is that none of these places have a rule like 1050.9c which expressly allows photography.

No, that's consistent with what Mr. Train Dude said, namely, " The bottom line is there is no constitutionally protected right to unrestricted photography."

NYCT can still impose reasonable time, place, on manner restrictions on photography. Therefore, the right you speak of is qualified.

Which is something we all know, but is again irrelevant to the case as presented. If you clearly include the disclaimer that in the story as presented, Nilet did nothing wrong and that the T/O WAS in the wrong, then I'd think it would be reasonable to discuss other alternate what-if scenarios.

That is not the way the rule is written. The constitutional issue does not even come into play at this point since the rule as written has no restrictions with respect to areas open to the public.

If the MTA expects us to obey its rules (no holding doors, no going between cars, etc) - we have a reasonable expectation to expect that the MTA will also respect the same set of rules (i.e. photography is PERMITTED).

So, I'm surprised you object to my p.o.v.

Really? Take a closer look.

You say the dude got pissed at your activities.

At my "activities?" The excuse he gave for attacking me was that I "looked" at him; that is, I glanced at him as I walked past since I saw reason to believe he was a threat. He may have already been pretty pissed off, partly by my existence and partly by the fact that I refused to give him money.

That's the way lots of folks are.

My experience, thankfully, tells me otherwise.

And no, I don't think most people are carrying.

Ah, that's good.

But surely you can understand that it's neither your right nor privilege to present yourself in a way that would get a fellow passenger so incensed.

It's "neither my right or my privilege" to glance at someone I think is a threat, or to refuse to give them money on demand?

It's like, do you walk up to guys and tell them they smell, or their mother's a slut?

Oh, come on! There's a very big difference between walking up to someone and insulting them and having someone shady-looking walk up to you in an empty station and demand change for a bill they don't appear to have, threaten you, and later attack you when you glance at them.

It's mainly, respect for the dignity of others.

Just a quick reminder: I'm the victim in this incident. I was attacked unprovoked. In case you forgot.

Even if what they consider their "dignity" might seem strange or absurd to you. In public that's the fare to be paid.

His "dignity," apparently, required that I give him money. Although he had just asked for change and didn't make it explicit that he was trying to rob me, the entire thing seemed iffy, especially since he didn't seem to have the bill he wanted change for. Respecting people's dignity in public is, perhaps, the "fare to be paid," but it shouldn't be a literal fare; if someone's dignity requires that of you, it's called robbery.

"That leaves holding up a camcorder while standing on the platform just beyond the stop marker while the train is stopped in the station with the doors open as "distracting the T/O."

I'm not trying to R.I.B. you on this. But yikes, just for once, put yourself in the other guys' shoes. Imagine you are the T.O. Subway platforms are the ultimate transient places. Move move move, that's the nature of the environment. In one sense, only people with the right to loiter on a platform are train personnel and cops.

So. You're "driving" the train. The train is stopped, doors open. You notice that everyone else is moving to the doors or shuffling away from the train because they need to catch a different train. Except...one dude apparently holding something that, sure, could simply be a camera of some type. Nobody else is doing what that person is doing. He (since I doubt it would be a she) is just standing there, pointing something at your train.

Maybe you as the photographer can't understand this but you as the T.O. have every right, indeed, obligation to at least consider that person standing there a possible suspicious individual. And if push comes to shove you have every right as a T.O. to act upon your trained and experienced opinion regarding persons inhabiting your work environment...

no. he is either right or he is wrong. but since none of us know the context, we only know that he may be right or he may be wrong. Easy chose that he may be wrong. As I've shown, that's a reasonable choice. But then you told him to think again. What's there to think again about? There's nothing wrong with Easy's choice. If anything, you could say why you think Train Dude may be right. But there's nothing you can say about Easy's choice being wrong.

You weren't a victim. What happened to you isn't even remotely like being a victim. If you really think you were a victim, you need professional help.

"If you ever suffer a completely unprovoked attack (with the closest thing to a provocation being a brief glance at someone you have reason to believe is a threat"

Does being assaulted by a mother whose child I had to keep in the ER count? She slugged me in the mouth and I had to subdue her, watch out for weapons and wait for the police to come to detain her.

How about tackling an out of control mental patient on the subway and helping a police officer handcuff him and then have the guy pee on me because he couldn't control his bladder?

Also THIS comes into play..

Section 1050.6

Use of the transit system.

No person may perform any act which interferes with or may tend to interfere with the provision of transit service, obstructs or may tend to obstruct the flow of traffic on facilities or conveyances, or interferes with or may tend to interfere with the safe and efficient operation of the facilities or conveyances of the Authority.


So If video taping or taking pictures interfers with operations its agaisnt the law correct?

Now do you think people who takes pictures or films on the subway ALL follows that rule?

If the T/O or C/R "safe operation" comes into play they have every right to put it on the radio, leave it in Controls Hands that way all bases are covered.

Do Not confront the person...

Heh. Wow, that's a new one. You actually walked onto the car and started picking up newpapers? Ummm...that dude was doing his job which he gets paid for. You felt comfortable enough to just stroll into his workplace and "help out"? I...forgive me but that sounds a little...unusual. Almost like an insult to the T.O.

If it was a park, maybe, but a train?

Maybe you as the photographer can't understand this but you as the T.O. have every right, indeed, obligation to at least consider that person standing there a possible suspicious individual. And if push comes to shove you have every right as a T.O. to act upon your trained and experienced opinion regarding persons inhabiting your work environment...

That's not really being disputed. However...

So. You're "driving" the train. The train is stopped, doors open. You notice that everyone else is moving to the doors or shuffling away from the train because they need to catch a different train. Except...one dude apparently holding something that, sure, could simply be a camera of some type. Nobody else is doing what that person is doing. He (since I doubt it would be a she) is just standing there, pointing something at your train.

I was holding the camcorder up so I could lock the focus while walking towards the door to get on the train. Since I had been standing beyond the stop marker and there were no exits or people behind me, I wasn't in anyone's way.

It's clear that your reading comprehension skills are sadly lacking. Read my post again. If you need help, I'll be glad to highlight the key points for you.

i dont think Easy "beleived" that Train Dude said people can use a railfans hobby for wicked purposes is that correct?

No, I think that's incorrect. I think Easy knows how videos and photos can be used. He simply disagrees with Train Dude's statement.

Right. The bulletin says photography may be suspicious. It does not say all photography is suspicious. It does not say all photography must be reported. As such, photography is not suspicious. It only may be suspicious.

Exactly its not suspicious but the persons actions can be "suspcious"..

That's the line that has to be understood.

And if the person's only action is photography, then it is not suspicious. It must be combined with other factors to make the person suspicious.

By the way, since there are a zillion pictures of subway cars running around, why do you want to catch up?

Because I want HIGH RESOLUTION ROYALTY FREE pictures that I can have the right to SELL if I so desire! Pictures taken by others have copyright protection.

How about taking pictures of things related to subways that haven'ty been photographed, like the entrances. Some of the are fancy, some are near other interesting buildings.

For the record I do a lot more than just railroad photography.

Here is one example of what I did with the rail stuffBMT Calendar

Or if you prefer my NON-rail photography Pin-UP Calendar
