[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainjunky29</i> <br /><br />Honest to goodness, this is the most purile topic I've ever been on. <br /> <br />Firstly, while we're all pretending to be lawyers, if I'm on public property, and there is a window, then whatever I can see through that window with my eyes is fair game to take a picture of while on on private property. Now, all you people are going to say I'm some sort of pervert for this bathroom thing. The point is that a crew in a locomotive cab has no more expectation of privacy through their FRA-glazed windows than a car driver on a freeway. <br /> <br />I would like to thank James for sticking up for me. I owe you one. I would also like to thank Ed, Mr. Hemphill and everyone else who has remained reasonable. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Parks <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />No pretending going on here Dan. I've been an attorney for almost two decades, although I don't currently spend time practicing law much. I prefer running locomotives and related railroading. Oh, and for the record, a train crew does have a greater expectancy of privacy on private railroad property than someone on a public highway. Also, if you take my photo and use it without my permission you will find yourself on the receiving end of a civil suit which doesn't require that I have any expectation of privacy at all. So think about that the next time you want to take a photo of a railroad employee. <br /> <br />LC
