<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="GP40-2"][quote user="WhiteLeather"] <P>From Trains.com News Wire: <BR></P> <P>"Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano this week suggested citizens should call law enforcement when they see someone taking a picture of "critical infrastructure." Photographing rail lines from public property remains perfectly legal, but Napolitano suggests citizens should call police anyway. <BR><BR>"One of the things we ask people to do," Napolitano told Fox News, "is when they see something unusual, if they see, for example, somebody continually taking photographs of a piece of critical infrastructure that doesn't seem to make any sense … to report that to local law enforcement so it can be followed up on."</P> <P>I've been "investigated" as "suspicious" for simply sitting along a public road and it, like TSA at airports, is yet another slam against our basic 4th Amendment rights. Ms. Napolitano's suggestion will just tie up police and sheriffs for no real reason. She tells people that if you see someone doing something that's "perfectly legal", report it anyway.</P> <P> Wha...????? <BR></P> <P>[/quote] Everyone needs to stop complaining. You all wanted the "Hope and Change" thing. Now, a least you got the Change. You should investigate all the other "changes" Napolitano wants to make to the Bill of Rights. Calling the police on every railfan will be the least of your problems.[/quote]</P> <P><FONT face=georgia,palatino size=3>I think that is an excellent point. She came out with some kind of "be on the lookout for domestic terrorists" alert for law enforcement last spring that kind of surprised a lot of people.</FONT> </P>
