Amtrak’s new rules make a lot of sense – particularly in regards to police training

Felix,

I don’t disagree. Perhaps the cops just need to learn how to behave in a civil society. Then they won’t have to worry about having their photos taken because the photos will show them doing the right thing.

None of the terrorist rules limit photography.

I think this is all about police being upset with photographers who have captured police abuse and or brutality. These days, everything from tazers to guns (oakland) have been caught on film. This type of behavior (citing photographers under terrorism rules) is backlash to what is becoming a cops vs photographers/press relationship

The piling-on of additional charges is another reason to sue the police. To give it right back to them, he needs to sue the individual officers as well as the PD.

The assessment of additional charges that are later dismissed should weigh heavily against the police and district attorneys office. This is an outcome of the drug war that is further victimizing society.
