Both types have an equal right to make those video from public property. <br /> <br />As a press guy, you may get some slack from the cops as a courtesy, but it's not nearly as much as you might think. I grant there are some differences between someone who's paying the mortgage with a press photographer job, and a railfan who's just a foamer. But the underlying law is the same. Press people are more dependent on just plain folks who want to take pictures than they will care to admit.
