I have come across several accounts on Flickr of people getting harrassed by law enforcement just for taking photographs. It’s mind boggling! Fear is crippling our nation and I must say I’m going to put up a fight. I think that public “protests” would be ideal. Let’s all get together with our DSLRs and fancy lenses and take photos together…at least then we’d have lots of documentation haha.

I’m officially putting the “The Photographer’s Right” paper in my camera bag as well as a card that says “I’m a photographer, not a terrorist.”

Terrorists wouldn’t be carrying around a freakin DSLR..it’s too big and bold. They’d have some fancy pocket cam or even some crazy buttonhole camera. If they want to take photos, they will. Don’t punish normal American citizens who want to take photos in public!

Oh and thanks for shilling for blue light hosting, I will add them to my “never do business with” list just like the businesses who advertise in Spam.

The more things change the more they stay the same

Taxation is theft. It is not the price we pay for living in a civilised society, but, rather the price we pay for having bullies with guns smashing human faces forever. What you have is a society where photographers are smashed to the ground by bullies and beaten with sticks, tasered, imprisoned, tortured, all without trial, without due process, without any reference to their supposedly-constitutionally-guaranteed liberties. That isn’t civilised. And it isn’t much society.

Taxation is evil and you minarchists are all evil. You want a boot smashing a human face forever, but you want the boot to be shiny.

Then stop using the Internet. Its development was largely supported by government funding way back when. Taxation is the price we pay for living in a civilized society.

You responded to an extreme, retarded comment with an equally extreme, retarded comment, unless you were putting on a show. Then I commend your writing skills.
