good catch! the pocket guide to a photog's rights they link to is extremely helpful (and liberating).

While it is easy in principle to agree with everything the author wrote, the truth of the matter is, that there is a delicate balance of how to actually handle the situation should you ever be harrassed about taking photos in a public place.

Being right does not make you any less restrained by the handcuffs.

"trust me... Im a photographer." (Muwahahahaa.)
Ive been kicked out of many a places before for stupid reasons that are similar to this while taking photos. It tends to irritate me and I end up arguing with the person. I try to be a little nice though.

skateboarding, cars, photography... I always seem to pick the hobbys that get me shooed away wherever I go.
