You are correct in many of your assumptions. A security guard of a refinery virtually posted a "confession" on Flickr where he said that he and the other guards knew photography was legal but their bosses wanted them to use threats and intimidation to discourage it anyway.Most photographers put their cameras away and left the scene but once in a while a savvy photographer would challenge them. Management would then blame the guard and apologize to the photographer.... I guess security is the new IMF - "if you are caught management will disavow any knowledge of your actions"... How do you trace that back and effect useful changes? Keep the heat on - press and legal till upper management issues memos to its middle managers. It worked in the Silver Springs case - now not one guard will dare approach a photographer there. |
