This is the reason I feel the issue needs to be addressed from the top down rather than the bottom up. NYPD needs to issue memos that clarify the rights of photographers throughout the city, not just transit. It is happening too many times and to too many photographers.OTOH I may not mind a little detention - the latest settlement cost the city $31,000 for detaining a photographer for 20 minutes. I might even have enough for a down payment on a Hasselblad at taxpayer expense :) |
