Rooftops?

[jstpeter]

I am very surprised at the amount of folks here encouraging trespassing. Why would you all risk the repercussions of a trespassing charge when you could have avoided it all by just asking? If you ask the worst thing that is going to happen is they say no. Suck it up and ask. I have had good luck walking into buildings without prior knowledge of me being there and just asking the manager on duty. It is a different time we live in and if I was security and found someone on a roof making photographs with out permission I would consider yourself lucky if I just told you to leave and did not call the police.

Funny, the security guard didn't run me off. He just said that he'd be back around in 45 minutes, and that I better hadn't be there when he got back. But he didn't say I had to pack up and leave immediately.
