ROBBED BY A COP— PROPERTY DESTROYED! |
|
|
Posted by Nilet on Sun Apr 29 20:42:32 2007  I took photos and video on the Jamaica el, covering the (J) G.O. at Broadway Junction. Afterwards, I decided to get the other end ot the (A) G.O. at Utica. Several TA workers told me photography was illegal. The first one was on the Manhattan-bound platform; I showed him my copy of 1050.9(c) and he said it only applied to the press. I read it aloud, emphasizing that anyone could take photos, though only the press could use tripods. He insisted that it didn’t apply underground. The second time was on the Queens-bound platform. I told them that 1050.9(c) permitted photography. Then, an announcement was made over the station PA that photography was prohibited. I was told that I could, if I wanted, show my paper to the people in the tower. I did so, and the woman said that photography had been prohibited after 9/11. I should that my paper was dated after 9/11; in fact, it was dated 8/12/06. She said simply that “her superiors” told her photography was prohibited but that she couldn’t stop me. A T/O also told me photography was prohibited, and didn’t really respond to 1050.9(c) either. Then the cops came. They looked at the paper, asked for ID, and asked why I was taking pics. I said I was a railfan; they acted incredulous; “why do you like taking train pics; trains are ugly” or something like that. I said that I found beauty in anything (secret to happiness!) and that no one can really choose what they enjoy doing. I mentioned that I often take rail pics, and I’m not the only one. They asked to see a few pics nicely, so I showed them a few. They started looking through all of my pics, so I told them I was invoking the fourth amendment, and asked for the camera back. They said that I was making people jittery (or something) and told me to stop taking pics and get on the train or leave. I told them I’d like to record their badge numbers (on my camera, since I had no paper; I told them I’d cover the lens if they wanted) and recorded numbers, then proceded to walk out to the shuttle buses. As I was leaving, one of the same cops from before came up, told me to wait, then handcuffed me and ordered me to sit on a bench. Her partner followed and stood nearby while she took the camera away and out of sight. Something was mentioned about a sergeant, though one never showed up. I told them that they needed probable cause, since this was a search, but they didn’t give me anything other than “we suspect you’re going to do something illegal.” After awhile, the first cop came back, returned the camera, and removed the handcuffs. Suspicious, I turned the camera on and found all of my photos and videos deleted! I asked what happened; she said: “You can’t prove I deleted them. I don’t even know how to work that camera.” They went off, telling me that they would be back and threatened something along the lines of: “I’d better not see you taking pics when we get back.” Since their badge numbers were on the camera and had been deleted too, I chased after them and got the numbers again, re-recording them on my camera. Now for the questions: 1. Since my pictures were destroyed, this was essentially a robbery. At minimum, it was negligence, since the pictures were lost while she had taken the camera by force against my will. How do I press criminal charges against a cop? 2. How do I go about suing? Since my property was destroyed, I expect damages. 3. Is there some way of recovering the lost files? I haven’t recorded over on the same memory card. I’ll be filing a complaint, of course, but I’m also hoping to sue and/or press criminal charges. |

Sorry that you had to go through that. I don't know the law, but I would consult a lawyer. I'd go for a regular lawyer instead of the ACLU. They take a long time to respond and may end up saying that they're not interested in helping you. |

So far, only one incident involving clearly illegal activity on NYCT. Maybe I'm a little less aware of my surroundings than other people may be. Maybe the long hair? The fact that I'm 19? I don't know. |

Good!I recorded over the card with 1 pic (of an (A) train) and about 7 seconds of video (of the officers' badge numbers), but most was not overwritten. Hopefully, I can recover at least the vital stuff like the (J) entering Broadway Junction on the middle track and the R160 in ENY yard. |

I seem to recall you posting issues with cops and transit employees all the time. At least 3-4.There is something about you that rubs people the wrong way if this keeps occuring. I suggest you find that quality and try to eliminate its persistence. I am not giving an opinion in this case as I have not heard the police officers side of the story. |

The camera seems largely undamaged. If it were damaged, I'd have to name Terrapin as a fellow plaintiff since the camera is borrowed from him. I took one pic afterwards, so it clearly still works. |

Damn, I'm really sorry that happened to you. To delete evidence, that's definitely a crime. They were trying to make you shut up by giving you nothing to fight with. Take this somewhere, don't let it go. How can we get it out there that 1050.9c, which was in your hand throughout, proves we can take pictures? |

If I can recover the pics, I wouldn't need to sue. The idea of a lawsuit is to recover the value of my destroyed property; if my property wasn't really destroyed and can be restored completely, then that's better for everyone. I'd rather have my pics recovered unharmed than win some piddling sum (if anything) after a long legal fight. |

I've had numerous encounters with cops who were extremely polite and just doing their job. Of course, I don't usually post those encounters. Of course, police (being human) have a couple of complete assholes among their ranks as well. Unfortunately, with the salary for a new recruit being so low, the police force has to scrape the bottom of the barrel now; I'd heard that someone convicted of a misdemeanor is now able to take a job as a cop. |

File recovery software does exist, but it probably will not work with a memory stick which is electronic rather than magnetic, and would not leave a trace.On magnetic disks all that happens when you "delete" a file is remove its name from the directory. This frees up the space to be written over. I'd leave the camera on in record mode the entire time I am talking with the officers, even though the lens cap would be on. Else I'd carry a micro recorder of some other sort. ROAR |

That only applies to MTA Police on MNCR, LIRR, and SIR. This incident took place in the New York City Subway and involved NYC Police. The rule in effect is 1050.9(c), which can be found HERE. The PDF you are quoting does not apply. |

If you hear that the cops have been called, go somewhere else within the next few minutes. No, you shouldn't have to, but some people are stupid.And 1050.9(c) is not the name of a rule. It's merely a section number within Volume 21 of the Official Compilation Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR). If you tell a cop that 1050.9(c) permits photography, he won't have any idea what you're talking about and might assume you made it up. |

Most cops are dumb pigs. What they did was clearly wrong. You need to complain to the MTA, the precinct and raise this up with a lawyer and maybe the supervisor of the station. They violated your rights, and you have to take action on this. Since they did take your camera and deleted the photos, that should be considered theft especially when they had no right to. If anything you can prove that they took your camera since they would have fingerprints on it. I'm not too sure about question 3, I'm not too advanced in that field. Please do tell us the progress of this situation, its clearly appalling. |

Start by explaining politely (but firmly) that they are mistaken. Only if they persist do you pull out the paper, explaining that you printed it directly off the MTA website.Yes, it's easier said than done. Just think of it this way -- you got practice today! Incidentally, never ride the subway without a writing implement (and a piece of paper, but you had one of those). |

Well the MTA can say whatever they want, and they can even call the police. And I'm fine with that. If you think something is suspicious, then call the police. But then the police should be professional enough to determine in about 10 seconds that Nilet is just a railfan and then let him go on his merry way. So the only PROBLEM here was with the NYPD. |

I was told to stop taking pics by MTA personel, I showed them the rules permitting photography, they maintained that photography was illegal; one of the people in the tower said that her boss told her photography was prohibitted. The police said that my taking pictures might cause/was causing "public alarm." Now, obviously, if I'm doing something perfectly legitimate and legal, it's not my problem if people get alarmed, but I decided not to argue the point and simply left the station as per the cops' orders. Of course, I didn't get all the way out of the station before they chased after me, handcuffed me, stole the camera, and deleted the photos. |
