Posted by HarryP on Thu Feb 21 07:23:12 2008, in response to ROBBED BY A COP— AGAIN!, posted by Nilet on Wed Feb 20 20:45:31 2008. This is a total outrage! What is going on in this so-called "Land of the Free"???1. First of all, if you were in an area open to the public and not violating any other law, you were not trespassing. 2. If your property was seized w/o probable cause, you were a victim of a crime, and you should file a complaint with the District Attorney's Office in New York County. 3. Most important, there is a memo dated March 16, 2006, from MTA Police Chief Kevin J. McConville, stating: "There are no rules prohibiting the photography of Long Island, Metro-North or Staten Island trains and/or stations. Members should only be concerned if the subject(s) taking photographs are trespassing on railroad property not otherwise open to the public, or are endangering either themselves or others by their actions (e.g., stepping onto active railroad tracks). "Accordingly, please remind members of your commands that there is no ban in effect relating to photography of the railroads." You can get a copy of this memo by going to Railroad.Net, MetroNorth message board. This should be carried with you at all times. As for photography on the platforms or other public areas of Grand Central Station being illegal, this is a bunch of b.s.! Also, I would seriously consider taking this entire incident to the media, but first consult with your attorney. Do not be deterred by certain members of this message board. Pursue your legal rights guaranteed under the U.S. constitution! Good luck! |
