I do agree that if you are on public property you can photograph. This brings me to an interesting story. I know a professor at a prestigious school who likes to paint. He's from Brooklyn and learned to stick up for himself in the city. One day he painting in a nice, rural suburb. A police car pulled up and said he had a complaint about him and wanted to know what he was doing. "I am painting," he responded, though the policeman could clearly have recognized that and known the man has some, but not a great deal of talent. No DaVinci, he. The policeman then asked him for some ID. The professor answered, "Officer, you are now intruding on my personal property." The officer wished him a good day and left. We should all defend our freedoms. It is far easier to rob us of our freedom than to rob a bank. Doug
