QUOTE: Originally posted by lincoln5390 I wonder what the security man would do if he saw a railfan set up a stool and easel and start painting a picture of a railroad yard or locomotive on his canvas.

QUOTE: Originally posted by miniwyo It s anyone right to take a picture of anywhere or anything, as log as they are on public property. It falls under the first amendment in the freedom of the press clause. Therefore, I will take a picture of basically anything I please from public property, or on private property with written permission .
QUOTE: Originally posted by halifaxcn I just listened to the broadcast, some food for thought. That being said, I and this is my own view didn't hear more than a fleeting reference to railfans. Whether we like it or not our world did change after 9/11. The major problem is not railfans, or photographers or even the cops. It is the media who has taken over and is whipping the masses into near hystria with biased reporting either pro or con depending upon the view they want. I for one will fight for my rights, for the first time in my life I have made a donation to the ACLU (My wife has done so for years). To many people have died for the freedoms that this Country has or did have. Just my 2 cents worth Have a great weekend railfanning!
There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
QUOTE: Originally posted by BNSFNUT I still can not see what the peaple checking out photographers are trying to stop. If I was trying to photograph some thing for an attack I would not stand out in the open with a camera and tripod. I would do it with small camera or a cell phone with a camera so nobody would know what I was doing. Also if I wanted pictures of a major stucture I just would do a web search for them. I tried a Google image search for the George Washington bridge and got several hundred hits.
