One can be cynical about various things which go on but the first amendment despite crazy factions always hang in there. This local law won't last long. The week I came to NY which was 5 years ago almost to the day they decided that maybe it would be nicer if there was no photography on the subways. Somebody might get worried or upset. There goes the body of work of Bruce Davidson! So of course the photographers rose up and took the the streets on a certain day. Or under them like rats that's where the subways are. I wish I'd known about it I'd have joined them. You can now shoot in the subways anytime you want. I just did a minute ago.
