[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by trainjunky29 Dear LimitedClear, 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. Sincerely and respectfully, Daniel Parks [/quote] Mr. Parks - What concerns me is not so much what you do, it is the impression you are leaving on other impressionable people on this forum who may follow your dangerously wrong and unlawful advice. I urge those of you out there to use the rules of reason, use the common sense you were given. Most times you will be within the law. I am not aware of any U.S. Supreme Court decision that gives any specific right to take pictures from any property. There is a great deal of law out there that restricts all manner of activities on private property and more law still that governs the privacy of individuals from both government and individual intrusion. Don't count on the First Amendment to shield you from everything. The First Amendment controls the behavior of the government ONLY, and does not affect the rights of individuals or companies that could result in some nasty wake up calls in civil or criminal court.
