Well you just can't expect law enforcement to actually know the law. Oh wait, THE LAW is simply whatever readily available excuse a pig needs to harass people. “The incident that you experienced appears to have been the result of the misinterpretation of local county law, specifically Miami-Dade County Code 30(B), which requires permits for commercial photography.”

Although not prohibited, security personnel and/or any MDT employee are encouraged to inquire as to what objects/images a patron is photographing.
