NYCTA moves forward with photo ban |
|
|
Posted by Mark on Thu Nov 25 12:03:22 2004 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but so it goes. Everyone thought that the proposed rule amendments that first surfaced six months ago were dead, but that's not the case. They were officially proposed in yesterday's edition of the State Register. The 45-day comment period opened yesterday, November 24, and will run through January 10. Here is an overview of administrative rulemaking as it applies to NYCTA.Submit comments to David Goldenberg, New York City Transit Authority, 130 Livingston Street, Room 1207, Brooklyn NY 11201, 718-694-5454. The MTA's impeccable timing is apparently a tactic to catch folks when they're busiest and least likely to make noise. Happy Thanksgiving and happy holidays to you too, guys. Let's not let this issue fade so that it can go to a board vote behind everyone's backs. Most news media outlets tend to support a more liberal view on the proposed photo ban, so let's get them involved. Fate may be sealed already, but don't give up hope without making some noise while you still can. Spread the word, and do it now. The highlights of the proposed amendments, which apply to NYCTA and SIRTOA facilities, are claimed to "further enhance passenger security and safety." They are allegedly justified with the following: "In light recent [sic] national and international events that have underscored the need for heightened security measures throughout the transit system, a reinstatement of a prohibition that existed until the early 1990's against photography, filming, and video recording in transit facilities and on transit conveyances without prior authorization except for members of the press." The notice also has this to say on photography: "Alternatives: Consideration was given to restricting photography, etc. of sensitive areas only. However, it was felt that a less restrictive approach would not yield the necessary security enhancements and given the nature of the activities in question enforcement of a rule which required law enforcement personnel to make a judgment of the precise subject matter being photographed would be highly problematic." Finally, the text of the relevant propsosed amendments: 1050.9.c. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part. 1040.4.f. No photograph, film or video recording shall be made or taken on or in any conveyance or facility by any person, except members of the press holding valid press identification cards issued by the New York City Police Department or by others duly authorized in writing to engage in such activity by SIRTOA or the authority. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part. Mark |

Posted by RJM on Thu Nov 25 12:51:57 2004, in response to NYCTA moves forward with photo ban, posted by Mark on Thu Nov 25 12:03:22 2004. I sent the following e-mail to the MTA:First of all, I cannot describe how angry I am at the proposed Rules of Conduct for NYCT and SIRTOA; in particular the part that concerns photography. Since I'm a transit photographer, I am strongly against the new proposed rules. Banning photography would NOT help security and safety, and it would NOT stop terrorism. The ban would only stop people like me, who find interest in the transit system and enjoy it. Terrorists DO NOT need pictures to carry out their plans. They only need to observe the crowding conditions at major stations. And supposing that they DO need photos? They will use the vast array of photos available on the Internet. The two following sites have close to 25,000 photos when put together: www.nycsubway.org , and www.nycrail.com. Supposing this ban is passed AND a terrorist would want photos? He would do it anyway. If he was to get a summons, why would he care? He would just move to another location anyway. There are MANY other things to worry about, rather than banning photography. The first thing would be to clear the subway of homeless people, who foul up stations with their belongings and degrade the subway system. The second thing would be better enforcement of the "no food" rule, etc. The main point is, why are you worrying about terrorism when you can't even keep the subway system in working and clean condition? Visit this webpage: http://www.nycsubway.org/photoban.html to learn about the REAL effects of the photo ban. This e-mail is only the first action I will take. I, among with many other transit enthusiasts in NYC, will do everything we can to stop this nonsense that is the photo ban. Hopefully the MTA will notice this... but they'll probably throw it out anyway. :-( -RJM |

Hopefully, the NY AG knows from the NJ AG that such a ban may not be able to stand a court challenge, and since it would be in federal court, the MTA would be well advised. (For this reason, the NJ AG is not enforcing NJT's photo ban, because it is constitutionally flawed, and this one is likely also. The MTA may end up with it on the books, but what are the odds that such a ban will ever GET to be enforced? (The ACLU will likely launch an immediate challenge to it.)) |

Normally, I wouldn't do this, but: You are an idiotic fuckwad. Bush has nothing to do with this photo ban proposal. If you can't contain your political hatreds to appropriate forums & topics, please cease posting to this board. This applies retroactively to every other asshole who will attempt to tie this proposal to the current administration later in this thread. |

You should have mentioned constitutional ramifications, such as in NJ, where the attorney general told NJT that their photo ban would probably not survive a court challenge in federal court. |

It doesn't hurt to toss another copy in the mail to the address I provided. In theory, they'll give just as much consideration to e-mailed comments as they will to snail-mailed ones. But you can't deny that paper correspondence carries the air of "this is important to me and I mean it." I'll spot you the 37 cents.The address again: David Goldenberg, New York City Transit Authority, 130 Livingston Street, Room 1207, Brooklyn NY 11201, 718-694-5454. |

I challenge the MTA to demonstrate how banning photography would enhance security. Is there any precedent for a terrorist actually photographing a target prior to an attack anywhere in the United States? If anyone is to attack this proposal, this is the way to go. |

If the weather is 100 degrees outside are you going to go without bottled water in the subway? The same can be said for certain food such as ice cream or pizza, but there is no ban on food consumption in any conveyance. |

The Austrians had the assaination of Franz Ferdinand to justify their invading Serbia (at least he actually died), Hitler had Poland and their supposed border incursion, and Dubya had Iraq pegged with all them Dubya-ehm-dees that still have yet to turn up. That's a marvelous group of pariahs we're putting ourselves up there with.

I agree it is disrespectful but I was pointing the disparity. If you ban water or non alcohol beverages in the subway or bus then you should ban food too.

WHile no one can defend what congressional Republicans did to protect DeLay, a little perspective is needed. The rule which would have tossed DeLay had he been indicted was a self imposed rule instituted by Republicans in 1994, being part of Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America". No such rule ever existed when the Democrats were in control. |
