Posted by Nilet on Tue May 22 07:35:48 2007, in response to Re: Technical Details Required... (Cop Incident Update), posted by Clayton on Mon May 21 19:32:57 2007.  They're only photos of subway trains... ...which represent 3 hours of work and can't be retaken even if I had another 3 hours. ...one would think a reasonable person could get over it and move on with their life! Who says I haven't? Since a cop performed an illegal search and seizure, and destroyed my property, I'm making an effort to make sure that the cop in question is informed of the law or removed from that job, but that doesn't exactly require my 24-hour devotion. What exactly do you think I did in the 3 weeks between this post and this one? Obsess over the incident constantly? If it was a photo shoot that you got paid for on the other hand... Why does that matter? The only work that matters is the work that you do for somebody else? Do you mean to say that if someone destroyed everything you ever did just for the fun of it (or at least 3 hours of work that you weren't specifically paid to do) then it wouldn't matter? 3 hours of my work was destroyed illegally. Whether I did it for me or somebody else is irrelevant. Somehow, if you were kidnapped and held for 3 hours before you escaped while you were on vacation, you'd be just as angry as if it happened on the way to work. Would you refrain from calling the cops, saying: "I'll get on with my life, it's not like I would have been paid for that time anyway?" Of course, it's more than that. A cop who is willing to violate the 4th Amendment cannot be trusted as a cop. If she was willing to delete my photos in violation of the law, how do we know that she won't arrest someone innocent, or subject someone innocent to a strip search in public, or take the next railfan's camera permanently? |
