so i almost got arrested in new york for taking a picture of the brooklyn tunnel

yeah, when i was in NY i was taking a cab back to the train station. during that ride we went through the brooklyn tunnel. when we pulled up to the toll booth i thought that i should snap a few pics, one of the toll sign, and one of the oddly large amount of cameras they seemed to have on the fucking place.
next thing i know, an alarm is literally going off and 2 police officers approach the cab im in with their hands on their pistols in under 5 seconds.
the cabbie starts telling me to hide the camera and lie to the cops, which i figured was a very very bad idea.
so i managed to delete the pics of the tunnel cameras before the cops got there... they went through my camera and made me delete the other pic i had of the tunnel area. they threatened to arrest me, and said that they were required to issue me a summons just for trying to take pictures.
but in the end they let me go...
fucked up country.

That's fucked up... were there signs or any other indication that you can't take pictures? Makes me wonder just how that is illegal... they must be really paranoid around there now.

the sacariest part is if they deemed you a terrorist for those actions you could've been held indefinitely or some crazy shit.

I was actually talking to a person about this. He was or is in a position in charge of video surveillance and protection of businesses and roadways.
Setting up cameras, checking on things and yada yada. I asked him if I could get in trouble for taking pictures of our power plants and factories. The ones in my area can be very good pictures. He said no, take all the pictures you want as long as there is no ill content.
It's amazing on the tunnels. You can't go 20 feet without a camera. I think I counted 30+ cameras on the holland tunnel. Thats not even counting the ones leading up to it.
Nomad you still in NY?

Oh ok.. so our government can put up cameras everywhere and anywhere they please.. but an American citizen can't take a picture in a public place without fear of being prosecuted.
FUCKING BULLSHIT
I'm pretty sure that goes against everything in the constitution. Not that the constitution hasn't been completely shit on over the past 10 years and is basically a worthless and meaningless piece of hemp now. Freedom my ass. Fuck this country I'm hating it more and more every day.
Yes, the US constitution is written on hemp.. fucking ironic dont ya think?

Oh coming from MR. UK. You can't even own a gun! HA! What about the video cameras you guys have all over the place? You guys are in the same boat, if not before us.
Thing is the cops let him go. They are actually concerned for the well being of the people that live their. That city is vulnerable in many ways, many people live their, it's an island, bridges and tunnels are what connect everyone.
But it know what you mean, it is, though they try to sugar coat it for the idiots to swallow easily.

You should be happy! Your tax dollars are funding these fucked up laws which have been enacted without the "peoples" consent - after 2001, many on the hill thought it necessary to strip away the privacy of its citizens in order to uncover homeland "terrorist" plots. The government in which the "people" *finance* and *own* has become a dollar devouring monster.. feed the monster, but don't go out at night?
Bullshit.

Actually you CAN take photographs of the tunnel, as well as the bridges. Any police officer that hassles you for that is at risk of suspension if you report it correctly. I don't believe any actual law is in affect that states you cannot take photographs. There were huge articles about it in photographer magazines nation-wide when people started getting hassled and threatened by the police to be arrested for taking photos of bridges and stuff.

until i read the thing about it possibly aiding a terrorist attack, i was wondering for what reason taking pictures is illegal? Its still really dumb, but at least now i understand it SOMEWHAT. should we ban anything that could even be potentially construed as "aiding terrorists".
Hey someone gave me a cool pen today. Who knows, I might potentially use it to write down a terrorist plan :rollseyes:

I really consider how deranged and brainwashed a person can be to enforce something like that.
