[Leica] Times Photographer Is Arrested on Assignment in NY

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

Good luck on that one.  I went into a supermart the other day and the
rent-a-cop stopped me and said "no pictures allowed".  I had my camera
hanging off my shoulder since I didn't want to leave it in the heat or
subject to other issues.  I said, nope, just getting our shopping list.  The
officer said, I said no pictures inside, just outside.  I said, Dude, we are
not taking photos, just buying stuff.  Rapport seemed to have been
established, so we went on our way.  Now, of course, I had to get some
photos of the live fish and lobsters.  They're not bad.  I'm sure the owners
didn't care one way or the other.

Better discipline WITHIN agencies is an issue which needs dealing with--call
it education if you wish.
