Subway photo ban (4)

NYT: Subway Officials Seek Ban on Picture-Taking. What a terrible idea. No mention of special permits for bloggers.

When I heard the news the first thing I thought about was lightningfield ;-)

Luckily I'll be able to indulge my Pelham 123 fantasies next week ...

It's already being enforced, even though it's only at the 'proposed' stage.

It's not *really* being enforced--no ticketing yet. As the article says, the existing law gives the police wide lattitude in stopping photographer that disrupt passengers or subway operation, without banning it outright, as is proposed.
