Re: (erielack) Personal rights, revisited



The officer's statement

O: Well, ever since 9/11, it is now illegal to photograph mass
transportation. That's a regulation of Homeland Security.


Seems to contradict this

I'd forward the above to the officer (and his boss) and ask why the head 
of NJT said in January its okay
to photograph, when, according to the officer, photography of mass 
transit remains illegal. 

Why would the head of the transit agency say its okay if, according to 
the officer, Homeland Security says its illegal?



This is an account of what happened on a MARC platform just last month.  
Again, no mention of a blanket prohibition
from Homeland Security.  Its also a reminder of the power of the local 
press.
