Re: ROBBED BY A COP— AGAIN!

That's the problem - something did happen to him - he was told photography is illegal when clearly it is not. I will not deny that Nilet's issues get escalated quite possibly because of his attitude. BUT my objection to what authorities are doing is with the fact that they tell someone not to take pictures in the first place. I find THAT to be the most egregious offense - the rest is collateral damage. If photographers filed a complaint with the NYCLU each and every time they are told to "move on" by a cop then they may have a basis for a class action suit.
