And use them in plenty of cases in not the coolest of ways. As in they are not cool guys. Not experienced street shooters. Not pros. This is a basic right in most societies surprisingly even the so called non free ones. This guy is "one of us" and it should go without saying that our sympathies should with him not against him. He's really not making a total ass of himself. He's not preying on young women with long lenses. He's a Shutterbug shooting everything that moves. His rights are being blatantly infringed upon. And we'd be next. When I got here 3.3 years ago on the radio they announced no more photography in the subways. Why not its easier not to isn't it just pass an ordinance? Very glib. A few weeks later a demonstration was held and the subways had hundreds of photographers' in there all shooting away. The law was of course repealed instantly. We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more. Zero tolerance on anti photography ordinances. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
