Interesting, but note that was published in 1997. The Patriot Act
does give authorities powers that were not in effect then. Even if
you have the absolute right to photograph, the police now seem to
have the power to arrest you "on suspicion" which will be a hassle
at best. Not that I advocate not photographing in public out of
fear. Just be aware that you may be hassled by the authorities. It
is extremely unlikely that, if you are indeed just an innocent
photographer, anything dire will happen. But, in this running
scared age, it is a possibility. Don't let that deter you; we must
stand up for our rights.
