Excellent!!LAST year, the city settled a lawsuit with a medical student who was using his vacation to photograph every subway stop. He got through five before an officer handcuffed him and detained him for about 20 minutes. With legal fees, the cost to the city was $31,501 — more than $1,500 a minute. Lets hope rt gets something similar!!! The only thing that bothers me is that the NYCLU was supposed to be pursuing a deal to force the city to retrain its officers as part of that suit. THAT seems to have been left for another day. The power of the blogs - gotta love it: From Subchat.com to Carlosmiller.com to the Gothamist to the NY Times!!! |
