Since I wasn't there I can only speculate but there are legitimate security concerns related to the servicing of Metrocard Vending Machines. Photographing or videotaping might be a way of detecting soft spots in procedures that could later be studied and used for criminal purposes. No, that obviously can't be it since photography in public areas is 100% legal as long as no other legitimate rules or regulations are violated, and I know of no legitimate rules and regulations prohibiting photography of the servicing of MVMs. Furthermore he stated that he was not photographing the servicing of the MVMs until AFTER he was yelled at. In fact, it seems he wasn't taking any photographs at all before he was yelled at. Finally, he wasn't told that he couldn't photograph the servicing of MVMs, he was told that he couldn't photograph at all. I'm quite surprised that as an employee of NYCT and as an active member of this forum, you would make such incredibly shortsighted speculation. As you should know, if the security guard actually thought he was observing suspicious activity, he should have called the police or a superior (or possibly, if allowed, properly investigated the situation). And if he thought he was observing prohibited or illegal activity, he should have taken what physical action he has under his authority to apprehend the perpetrator. Take Pride,
