Re: NYC transit photo ban?

[Jeff Spirer <jeff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree completely.  However, I was pointing out that completely
false information was posted (that the National Press Photographers
Association was working to get its members permission to shoot) and
that's always a bad thing.  Also, as I pointed out, it's still not
law, and it may never be.

BTW, the proposed fine is $25 and a transit cop has to see you. 
That's not much risk...

HOWEVER, credentialed photographers are not covered by the ban.  This is very clear to anyone who has read the proposed law.  And if one reads the current rules -

Jeff the key word is " credentialed" I as a street photographer, unless I want to go through the hassle of getting credentials, according to what is proposed cannot use a camera in the subway or public busses in New York City. This is absolutly ludicris Any terrorist that can't conceal a camera should get amother line of work.
