[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by trainjunky29</i> <br /><br />Dear LimitedClear, <br />Any pictures I take from public property are fair game. According to the supreme court, this includes military installations until I am asked not to. Everything else is A-okay. It is the responsibility of the citizen to not become a railroader if he or she does not want railfans taking pictures of him or her. <br /> <br />Sincerely and respectfully, <br />Daniel Parks <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />OK, lets take this from a more realistic perspective. <br /> <br />Suppose some sleazey photographer sets up his camera in the middle of your front yard, and he's just banging away taking pictures, through your windows. <br /> <br />You go out and tell him to stop, and he tells you some line trying to convince you that it's "OK" for him to continue. <br /> <br />You tell him that it's NOT ok, you want him to stop, and point out that he is trespassing on your property, and you want him to leave. <br />He moves back 12 feet to the public sidewalk, sets the camera back up, thumbs his nose at you, and defiantly states that there is nothing you can do to stop him now, because he is within his rights. <br /> <br /> <br />Just how diplomatic are you going to feel the need to be in the face of such an antagonistic attitude? I mean think about it, here this guy is at your place, trying to convince you that he's in charge, and there's not a thing you can do about it. (that is what this thread is about, the response of the employee, not the debate of the laws as written) <br /> <br />I'll say this much, if some squirrely little dingus came up to my place with that kind of attitude, he'd have an awful embarrassing time explaining how his camera got shoved so far up where the sun don't shine... that's for sure [:D]
