RE: The insane state of security

I was stopped for trying to take a pictures of some buildings from within a park in Philadelphia. The cop told me that I was taking pictures of the tops of the buildings (she refused to walk around to the other side of my view camera to see that this was not the case). I got in an argument with her, as her complaint was the fact that I was in the park taking the picture. As she walked away I told her that I would go across the street and take the exact same picture, which I did.

This is the sort of thing that is politically inclined to make us believe that we are safe - akin to the comfort of knowing that my 70+-year old mother must remove her shoes before boarding a plane.

Cheers -

george

You haven't lived a rich and full life until<br>you've been frisked, cuffed (released on scene),<br>and had your film confiscated for the crime of<br>taking a pinhole picture that includes a bridge in<br>it. Pictures of bridges in New York are illegal<br>now, signs posted all over the place. I couldn't<br>believe it, but I do now.<br>_______________________________________________<br>Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML<br>pinhole-discussion mailing list<br>pinhole-discussion_at_spitbite.org<br>FAQ at http://spitbite.org/pinhole-discussion/list.html<br>
