If you are a photographer, and get hassled by the police for exercising your rights, be sure to come write a story about it! We're collecting all sorts of stories about police abuse of photographers' rights in one central place. http://www.freedomtophotograph.com/

How absurd. How utterly absurd and impotent. At one time, I was of the belief that California led the nation in the number of left-of-center, intellectually lightweight, self-important politicos that seek the gratification of their egos by means of placing their mark, however insignificantly and ineffectually, in the penal code--at the expense of such trivialities as human freedom, human rights, human culture and the artistic expression thereof. New York, to my chagrin, has consistently proven me wrong. Her subways are as rich a mouthful of human essense as any to be found on the globe. But we will be denied the flavor of it for the self-aggrandizement of the small in our midst. The terrorist, in the meantime, will not be impeded, nor even inconvenienced.

It seems that maybe there isn't too much to worry about with this - even if such a law is enacted, how on earth will they be able to enforce it?

This can only mean one thing: There must be plans to torture prisoners in the subways.

I'm not protesting, I just happen to be taking pictures in the midst of a lot of other people taking pictures. ;) Sorta like Critical Mass, er.... Critical Flash?

Let's see hundreds (maybe) of photographers gathering in the subway, taking photos... Expect the cops to bust this up -- not because they're taking photos, but because they're protesting without a permit. Sounds like fun!
