Speaking of the cops, NY1 wonders why the NYPD is enforcing a photo ban that doesn't exist:
On the subways, New York City Transit's own rules of conduct are clear: Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted. That means everyone - not just news people, but anyone with a camera.
Ciiting security concerns, the MTA proposed tightening the rules back in 2004. But the opposition proved so fierce, the idea was quietly dropped.
"The rule against photography was never adopted, and therefore can't be enforced. There's no rule!" says Harry DiOrio of the National Press Photographers Association.
That means if you have a camera of any kind, you can use it without asking permission.
Don't let them tell you otherwise.
