[QUOTE]Originally posted by dmwnc1959: [QB] Last time I checked taking pictures of public buildings was not a crime, even in our nations capital! Neither is taking pictures of trains, moving or stationary, planes taking off down the runway, or crowds gathering in masses for a football game. Recently in Charlotte I was taking a picture of the 'City of Salisbury' engine on the 'Piedmont' when a passerby said 'I wouldnt recommend taking pictures, you might get in trouble' to which I replied 'Its not against the law'. And it isnt. As long as you are not inconveniencing others, getting in their way, or transgressing into areas that are officially off-limits or restricted access, take all the pictures you want. And if the cops come and give you some lip-service about not taking pictures, ask them (politely) to show you the local, state, or federal legal statute that makes photography were you are illegal. If they cant, then they are barking up the wrong tree. I for one am NOT going to stop taking pictures for my personal use. Sure their may be pictures of trains all over the interent. but I want one of my own, in my album, that I took, composed, and framed. We should be aware of things or people that look suspicious, but we should not let our coutry go off the deep end into a society that is paranoid of our fellow Americans each and every action. Practice safe and common sense photograhy and everyone benefits! [/QB][/QUOTE]
