A Victory for NYC Rail/Bus Photogaphers!

October 27, 2007 -- Responding to a public outcry and objections filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, New York City today released new proposed rules that eliminate permit and insurance requirements for virtually all photography and filmmaking.


Earlier this year, the New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcast proposed rules that would have required permits and $1 million of insurance for a wide range of casual photography and videotaping in public places. The NYCLU and scores of filmmakers and photographers called on the city to revise the proposal, rules that would have violated people’s First Amendment rights to photograph in public places. The MOFTB rescinded the proposal in August, and has since been negotiating with the NYCLU on a new set of rules, which led to today’s release.

Under the new proposal, anyone using handheld cameras or cameras with tripods does not need a permit unless they exercise exclusive control over more than half the sidewalk. Short of establishing a physical perimeter or directing passersby away from a sidewalk area, anyone with a handheld camera or a tripod would be free to film on city sidewalks for as long as they please.

“We applaud the City for making these much-needed revisions,” said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the NYCLU. “People shouldn’t have to get a permit to casually snap photos and make videos in public places.”

Christopher Dunn, associate legal director of the NYCLU, worked with the MOFTB to revise the proposal.

“Given the prominent role that New York City plays in the world of photography and film, the City’s recognition that virtually all photography and filmmaking should be free of permit and insurance requirements should set a national standard,” Dunn said.

Until recently, New York City had no written rules governing the issuance of photography and film permits. The City agreed to adopt written rules and to narrow its permit scheme after the NYCLU filed a federal lawsuit challenging the MOFTB’s permit practices.

There's often a difference between the law on the books and the law in the heads of those enforcing it. So patience and a bit of effort at education might well be in order.

If You don't know by Now that MANY MTA employees/Police officers enforce their OWN SET OF RULES..by stating PHOTO ARE NOT ALLOWED..Then you will never know.

In any case..it doesn't matter much NOW..since this little parcel came out.

hopefully a memo has been sent to EVERY TRANSIT DISTRICT OFFICE..so there will be no further misunderstandings.

PROFF? Tons of us take photos throughout the MTA system. The number of incidents reported here are minimal. Like I said, I don't see the problem. Plus, the MTA employees can't do jack schit. It's only the MTA Police and NYPD that matter. And in the past few months, IIRC, only Nilet has gotten hassled by the NYPD, and no one has gotten hassled by the MTA Police. Do you know of incidents that were not posted here? If so, please share.

This "little parcel" changes nothing. The MTA Police already have their memo. The NYPD already have the rule in their rulebook in black and white. Both of those items are much stronger than this City of New York filming permit business.

At worst, it is simply governed by 21 NYCRR Part 1050, which clearly states that "Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or tripods may not be used."

The New York Times version of the story included this comment:

Film officials said they were surprised to learn how frequently independent and casual filmmakers and photographers were drawn into confrontations with building owners and the police over their rights to record.

Perhaps now they will spread the word to the NYPD... (I can dream, can't I...)

Irrelevant for purposes of photography under present rules - NYCRR 1050.9(c) applies there which specifically allows photography. The proposed city rules apply to sidewalk and park photography, which were not clearly defined.

This has nothing to do with me. I don't know how you got that impression. Care to explain?

I know you drive a bus.

So because you drive a bus, you see all kinds of rail-related incidents concerning NYPD down in the subway and MTA Police out along the LIRR and MNCR and SIR that you can't report? That makes no sense at all.

Once again, feel free to fill us in on all of these incidents that haven't been posted here. Because AFAIK, the MTA Police and NYPD have been playing it pretty cool towards the poster here that take photos.

Okay..Now that we see that You ARE RESORTING TO OLD HABITS..

Lets begin..

I am a public servant..a PROFESSIONAL..
If you KNEW WHAT that means..you'd ALSO KNOW that there are somethings we aren't ALLOWED to speak on..

I travel to work by rail..and even though I'm not an employee of the MTA..still we have a gag order.

Another nasty habit you have is placing WORDS in the MOUTH of others..
While my hatred of you hasn't dulled one bit lately..I still feel that you DESERVE the benefit of the doubt...never the less.

I find you being one of the most obnoxious person I have ever had the displeasure of knowing..often trying to "show up" others to make Yourself look good..

Its people like You that bring a bad name to this hobby with sickening obsessive manic behavior...and personally would prefer if you didn't answer any of my post..
But due to your knack for trouble..you can't help yourself..so I'll expect some sort of retort in kind.
Believe me..this isn't "an un warranted attack" as you are so fond of saying..but just a bit of truth I needed you to hear.

When you weren't posting.this board was VERY PEACEFUL...go away.

A didn't know that working for a private company means you are a public servant. Could you explain how that works? Don't skirt the issue.

a PROFESSIONAL

Yes, a professional at skirting the issue, and then making personal attacks when you get backed into a corner by good reasoning from your opponent.

that there are somethings we aren't ALLOWED to speak on..

I travel to work by rail..and even though I'm not an employee of the MTA..still we have a gag order.


I also didn't know that being a bus driver commuting to work on the subway means that you can't report what you see, especially if what you see is police violating the rights of the public. There's no way you are prohibited from reporting that. NO WAY IN HECK. And there's no way you could even think that you aren't allowed to report that. It's sick to even think that you'd think that.

The way I see it, I called your bluff about the NYPD and MTA Police harassing subway and train photographers more than what we have seen posted here, so you started making up stories about how you see stuff but aren't allowed to report it. C'mon, you can do a lot better than that. But feel free to prove me wrong. Let's here about the gag order in your contract. Let's hear about all these police harassment incidents that you can't report because you are a public servant working for a private company that has nothing to do with the government. Don't skirt the issue.

Another nasty habit you have is placing WORDS in the MOUTH of others..
While my hatred of you hasn't dulled one bit lately..I still feel that you DESERVE the benefit of the doubt...never the less.

blah blah blah more unwarranted personal attacks from Edwards. It's really getting old. We can see right through you...

When was that? Saturday! LOL!

Anyhow, like I've said, the NYPD and MTA Police have not been a significant problem lately.

Aside from a few isolated incidents it appears that the situation has improved on the New York subways and rails. There were a number of recent incidents on NJ Transit however...

I surf the net including Flickr and other photography sites for stories / blogs on photographer harassment. Most incidents now appear to be coming from other cities including, believe it or not, the Washington D.C. area. You would think they would be more tolerant of photographers there considering the sheer numbers of tourists with cameras.

Depends where in DC they are getting hassled. It's a tourist city, but the majority of the metro (even the city really) is outside the touristy areas.

It's definitely gotten better in LA. It's been 6-7 months since anyone even asked me what I was doing.

Well I've noticed a big difference. I used to be asked what I was doing by either an employee or a deputy fairly regularly up until I got my citation/summons. And I didn't even take pictures very often. Since that time I have only been asked once and that was by a deputy that I had been talking to already so that probably shouldn't even count.

The fact that it all changed after my summons makes me wonder if that didn't help to get the word out to deputies that photography is allowed. I guess there's also the possibility that our system is small enough that most of the people have seen me around before. Either way I'm pleased with how things are going.

There are stories of people being hassled around the White House or even the Washington monument.

There were also issues surrounding certain outdoor malls and private streets in Silver Springs which got a group to organize and force the owners to cease their anti photography stand.

'Why not photos in a grocery store?'

I think the supermarket issue is to do with 'industrial espionage' and trying to prevent people working for their competitors from taking photos - some also try to prevent extensive note-taking, too (say, noting down a lot of prices).

recent incidents on NJ Transit however...

NJT's policy varies WILDLY, regardless what is on paper. Case in point:
On a recent trip to Philly on the AC Line, I was INVITED to the cab car to shoot a few:

But this 'un drew fire from the NJT boys:

Bustin' a move w the tripod set off some fireworks at Atco, so be prepared if you try some night time exposures, even at remote locations:

As long as it isn't the NJT Police that are hassling you, right? It's unfortunate that NJT employees would not be familiar with the rules and regulations of their system, but you just tell them politely that photography is allowed, show them the Warrington letter, and then carry on.

Actually, the NJT Police that I've had contact with have more tact than most of the train employees. Several months ago I & a few others, including chuchubob were at Secaucus when Bob caught the attention of a Port Jervis crew, who proceeded to yell out the cab at him to stop taking pictures! He was on the celly when he passed me at the other end of the platform, & by the time we got up the 2nd escelator, here comes NJT's finest to check us all out. A pleasent conversation ensued, & that was that.

Thanks fot the pic comment! I'll get that digital time exposure down if it friggin' kills me.....

Ironically, back in 1997 when I was on a public street in Montreal photographing buses, a Laval Transit (Laval, Quebec) supervisor ran after me, screaming in French. When he finally got the message that I didn't speak or understand French, he then babbled something in English about "Espionage". Hilarious! Like I was from an out-of-town bus company, and he was worried that I was going to recommend stealing their paint scheme or something!

What a maroon! :-)

Commissioner Katherine Oliver today announced the release of a newly drafted permit rule proposal, which will be available online today and published in the City Record tomorrow. Under the proposed rules, which are designed to codify procedures that have existed in practice since the office was established in 1966, a permit would be required for a shoot if production equipment or vehicles create an obstruction, but not for productions that only use hand-held cameras or tripods that don’t cause an obstruction. The publication of the new rules, which are subject to public comment, follows the MOFTB’s decision to redraft rules following an initial publication and comment period that was extended to August 3, 2007. A copy of the proposed rule and an accompanying executive summary and “Q&A” document explaining it are available on the MOFTB website at www.nyc.gov/film.

“During the rule drafting process, our intention has always been to balance the needs of filmmakers working in New York City with concerns about congestion in public places, traffic flow and public safety,” said Commissioner Oliver. “We have taken into consideration the issues that were raised by numerous groups and individuals during the comment period and have addressed those points in this new draft. We strive to make New York City a hassle-free environment for productions and to ease public inconvenience as much as possible. We hope that these new rules will be met with the understanding that as a government agency we are required to enact regulations, and we are simply formalizing the ways in which the agency has always operated.”


The New Film Rule Proposal

Under the new draft of the proposed rule, a permit would be required if equipment or vehicles are being used by the production or if the filming activity creates an obstruction. “Equipment” is defined as film cameras, videocameras, lights, sets, and other production related materials, but does not include hand-held devices or tripods.

“Obstruction” is defined in the proposed rule as the assertion of exclusive control over a public space resulting in the obstruction of one or more lanes of a street or walkway, or when production activity results in either less than eight feet or one-half the width of the sidewalk or passageway (whichever is greater) being available for unobstructed sidewalk use by pedestrians.

A permit would not be required if the production uses hand-held devices or tripods, its activity does not present an obstruction, and it is not using equipment or vehicles. An optional permit would be available in these instances, and would not require liability insurance.

The rules would also not impact press photographers, who are routinely credentialed by the NYPD, or student filmmakers, who meet their insurance obligations by coverage through their school’s insurance program.

As a general matter, City agencies’ procedures for the issuance of permits must be contained in formally adopted rules. The City Charter’s rulemaking process requires that City agencies publish proposed rules for public comment. Public comment is now open for this current draft of the rule, with a hearing scheduled for December 13, 2007.


History

Since its inception, MOFTB has always offered free permits requiring only liability insurance under certain circumstances. In addition, if warranted by the activity, MOFTB also offers free police assistance to streamline filming in New York City. The permit has served as the filmer’s authorization to interact with, and stage production activity, on City property.

The decision to codify procedures came as part of a settlement of a recent lawsuit brought by an individual represented by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). By codifying existing procedures as a rule, MOFTB has endeavored to meet the challenge of identifying a threshold level of activity which necessitates a film permit, while at the same time substantially mirroring its current practices.

The rules were originally published on May 25, 2007, in the City Record and a hearing on the proposed rules was held on June 28, 2007. After significant public comment on the rules, MOFTB extended the comment period through August 3, 2007, and announced it would redraft the proposed rules.. Since that time, MOFTB has reviewed the comments and has met with various individuals and organizations to further the public discussion.

The previous version of the rules included provisions that were based on the number of people present during a production, the duration of filming, and the use of a tripod to determine whether a permit was required. Those provisions have been removed from this draft.

“My staff and I would like to thank the many organizations that have shared feedback and collaborated with the agency during the redrafting process, including Independent Feature Project (IFP), Fractured Atlas, Creative Capital, The Moving Pictures Collective of NYC, and the International Center of Photography (ICP),” said Commissioner Oliver.

The MOFTB was the first film commission established in any locality in the United States, and is the one-stop shop for all production needs in New York City, including free permits, free public locations and free police assistance. The agency markets New York City as a prime location, provides premier customer service to production companies and facilitates production throughout the City’s five boroughs.
