Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Sat Feb 14 09:21:28 2009, in response to I was taken in handcuffs for photography at the Freeman St Station on the 2, posted by rtype3995 on Thu Feb 12 20:54:45 2009. First...."I'm willing to bet your paycheck", "we proceed to go back and forth on what I can/cant do in regards to the photos" You said WAY too much here!! And this definitely would constitute disorderly conduct, because the cops would regard this as a challenge to their authority, and plus you are making a scene. Simply, while yes you CAN take photos in the system, if the officer hassles you, don't resort to "smart alec" comments like the quotes above (that's PRECISELY what they want!!!), just comply with them and move on, being sure to get their names, badge numbers, make a log somewhere of this incident, and make a complaint to the NYPD, the ACLU, NYCLU, and yes consider contacting the media and a legal counsel. But never take the condescending, smart alec comment route....you justified them upping the ante by making comments about paycheck betting and ensuing a back and forth with them.....you gave them the ammunition to take the action they took....NEVER PLAY INTO THEIR HANDS!! Simply move on....who wants stress when it can be avoided. Take the right course, and do what people have mentioned here....get names, badge numbers, and complaints to ACLU, NYCLU, NYPD and possible include the media and talk to a legal counsel for advice. |
