You might remember this order from a posting here last month based on a New York Post article on the order's issuance.
If
you are photographer in New York or plan on shooting in New York, I'd
highly recommend printing out a copy of this order and carrying it with
you. You might find it helpful to have if you are hassled by authority
figures over your photography.
This operations order is a
good reminder to law enforcement everywhere that photography is in fact a
normal lawful pursuit practiced by millions of ordinary non-threatening
Americans every day of the year. In part, the order above reads:
"Members of the Service are reminded that photography and videotaping of
public places, buildings and structures are common activities within
New York City. Given the City's prominence as a tourist destination,
practically all such photography will have no connection to terrorism or
unlawful conduct." The order goes on to remind officers that they may
not ask people to delete there photos and that they may not look at
people's private camera photos without a warrant.
