 |
|
Here's the interesting story of a photography student receiving permission to shoot a local Seattle landmark and running up against the authority of local and federal security officers.
Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown.
I don't intend this to be a Derrek-esque dig at another country's current political environment. I'm sure there are plenty of police in Canada and other "free" countries who would act as the author alleges these officers have.
Is it reasonable to restrict photography of public areas? |

Interesting: I note that the "secondary" officer was one S Kim.
Better take no photo's of Han Gang railway Bridge .... |

Yet not uncommon. Here's one from Pittsburgh:
I was standing on a public street taking pictures of a building in plain view from anywhere in town, and I was being told that this building was off-limits to photography.
Is this a reasonable "never can be too careful" reaction to real threats, or an indication that current security concerns really are permanently eroding the rights of good, law-abiding people? |
