Posted by rtype3995 on Thu Feb 12 20:54:45 2009 You heard it right....I was hancuffed and brought down to district 12 for unauthorized photography,unreasonable voice/discon,and impeding traffic....this is the story:I was at freeman st on the 2 on the s/b plat taking pics...a officer(p.o mede/#6673)yelled to me just as I was getting on the train to leave....he asked for I.d; I showed him and he proceeds to tell me I'm not supposed to be taking pics...I told him that's not true, and I'm willing to bet your paycheck...so as we're in disagreement, his partner who is on the n/b side(p.o almonte/#3355)asked what was I doing...his partner said taking pics...he told me I had to delete them...I told him I'm not doing that....so he comes over to where me and the cop are at, and we proceed to go back and forth on what I can/cant do in regards to the photos....eventually, he called his sargent, and the sargent says I'm not allowed to take pics...I told him on t/a's rules of conduct it says we are....the sargent tells me their rules and t/a's rules are different....I told him, if you feel I'm in the wrong, give me a a summons and I'll see everyone in court...the sargent says to arrest me....so after being brought down to district 12 to get a warrant check and all that good stuff(mind u I told him I needed the bathroom and to make a call, and those things were denied until I was about to leave), I get my 3 summones(1 for the photography, one for discon/unreasonable voice, and the other for impeding traffic)....I go to court for the photography in march and the other 2 in april....I'll be weighing the other options and will look for a lawyer in addition to filing a few ccrb complaints.....so the controversy continues with whether or not we can or can't take pictures down here.....(I asked the cops what are u giving me a summons for before being handcuffed, they said you'll see it when u get it) *also, the photos were not deleted; I ended up keeping them...... |

It probably would have been better for you had you not gone on the "bet the officer's paycheck" route.To me, your account of the situation justifies the disorderly conduct charge. |

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. The outcome might have been different if your tone was not as harsh. The police are bigger scumbags when you give them lip. Good luck with following through on this. |

I once got a summons in LA and as it was almost $1,000 just for the one summons, I'd hate to see what three would be. In LA you're supposed to pay the entire fine as bail, just to get a trial. If NYC is the same way and the judge doesn't cut you slack, it could be very expensive just to fight it. But the best of luck to you! |

I guess the judge will probably throw the whole case out since these cops don't understand NYCRR 1050 and made up a bogus charge to begin with. It might be time to start reporting police misconduct to the US Attorney's Office. |

You have gone this far might as well go the whole 9 yards and find outwhat the law really is. The cops wont show up so the case will be trown out or delayed for months. Ask the news papers for a good lawyer they will know who does good with this kind of case. Good luck hope it works out. FLASH GORDON |

SCPD officers also reclassified reports (a few that happened on the same day that the immigrant was killed in Patchogue) about crimes against immigrants to safe on the paperwork, that to came out because of the killing of an immigrant in Patchogue. i'm not even sure that those officers who did reclassified those reports, were ever disciplined for it. |

I agree with you. Actually, it wasn't even disrespectful.I fault the sergeant the most here. At least the officers called to ask a supervisor. Had the supervisor (sergeant) said, "Photography's fine; let him go," it would have been over with no harm done. |

The cops are supposed to have thicker skins than that. What I don't get, is that they went through all that nonsense, dragging him down to the precinct in handcuffs, etc, and still, he goes home, pics and all, which is why the whole thing started!Yup, the NYPD and MTA need to get hauled into court on this one, in a very public way. This is really starting to get out of hand. BTW, the reason he got arrested in the first place is "Contempt Of Cop", which I have described in other posts. Essentially, it means if you give a cop any "back talk", ask why you were stopped, or ask for a shield number, you WILL get charged with disorderly conduct. Sad but true. Still waiting to see a SCA-type from Ronkonkoma get pulled off a train, get checked for warrants, and ticketed for walking between the cars...see it daily, sometimes right in front of the uniforms. Nothing happens. But back home, at Jamaica Center, well, that's another story...I've even seen photography discouraged there... |

Carrying the NYCT rules as well as the photographer's rights and an NYCLU letter with you at all times you are photographing can be a big help. At the same time, I do agree with everyone else here. It's all in the matter of your tone and how you presented your case. Betting their paycheck on it wasn't the smartest of things to say. Don't escalate the situation further by answering them back in an uneasy tone. If you have to delete the pics, so let it be it. It is not worth getting arrested over. Now you will have a record.Don't get me wrong, the arrest was unlawfully done and I think the Press, ACLU, NYCLU and CCRB should be contacted. Somehow, someway this harrassment has got to be stopped. I wish you luck but remember, always be calm, cool, and collective. |

Besides the remark about the paycheck, the other thing you shouldn't have said was that he should give you a summons. He didn't appreciate you telling him how to do his job. That's why you were arrested. Had you not said that, that's all he probably would have done. He just wanted to show you who was in charge, so he arrested you. Not letting you use the bathroom and the other charges were just to make things as uncomfortable for you as he could. |

You are right, suing the MTA and NYPD is the route to go, however telling a officer at the time of the incident:"I'm willing to bet your paycheck and I told him I'm not doing that and I told him, if you feel I'm in the wrong, give me a a summons and I'll see everyone in court" will get you detained and hasseled. Just apologize, comply and get the names and badge numbers like you did. And despite all of what happened to you, you said: "also, the photos were not deleted; I ended up keeping them.." The officers knew you were right, but because you were willing to bet their paycheck they decided to earn it on YOU! |

Maybe cops thinks a SCA would have the $ to put up a big fight if their rights got infringed on? :just wondering: |

That's outrageous. Yeah ok, you could have been more diplomatic with the cop, yadda yadda yadda, but you didn't say anything offensive either. If it were me I'd sue for a good chunk of change. This might not be it, but the big lawsuit is coming over this kind of crap.your pal, Fred |

And the beat goes on! This really makes me sick when I read things like this. You guys on this list already know how I feel about it, from the time that poor guy was arrested in Penn Station by Amtrak Police.However, in all fairness, I think you should have been a little more diplomatic with the officers. While you still have a good case, in my opinion, { they had no cause to hassle you in the first place } you would have come out looking better in front of a Judge if you had been a little more respectful. In a way, you helped to escalate the incident. I'm beginning to think that photographers should infact carry a copy of the regs with them. Unfortunate, but it would probably save you a lot of grief in such situations. Sad, but you'd need copies of all the regs from the transit agencies and railroads that you're photographing on. I guess photographers will have to lug around a briefcase with them. |

If it were me I'd sue for a good chunk of change.And sue both the NYPD and the individual cop. Nothing will teach these self-important scumbags like one of their own facing a personal bankruptcy. |

He didn't appreciate you telling him how to do his job. That's why you were arrested.Well, someone needs to tell these clowns how to do their jobs. And if they can't do them, they should lose them. They certainly shouldn't go around abusing their powers due to their own ignorance. |

If you just say, "Yes officer", he'll go away. If you want to be more aggressive, ask for a badge number, and file a complaint with someone like the CCRB.I've read posts like this one so many times, you'd think NYPD would issue a memo telling officers that photo taking is lawful. |
