Metro Rail Security Doesn't Allow Photography

While http://www.libertyontour was in Miami they teamed up with Carlos Miller of Photography is NOT a crime ( http://www.carlosmiller.com ). Last month Carlos was assaulted by Metro Rail Security thugs for taking pictures. As seen in this video it seems they haven't learned that 'photography is NOT a crime.'

In quite a few states there are wiretapping laws where you have to have both parties consent to film. If someone requests you to stop and you don't you may be violating state or local ordinance. Yes it is a public place and you can film the place but if a person doesn't wish do be filmed they can request you to shut off the camera or recording device. I'm seventeen and I know my shit. Dunno what city you are in but you may just be behaving like law ignorant arses.

@Obojangles93 mind showing me that law?

I support voluntarist action. However, videotaping an unwilling person sets the stage for coercion, not voluntarism.

Thumbs up for taking the initiative to act. But, would you videotape unwilling person in a voluntary society? I hope you have better activities to ponder.

Although maybe you were videotaping the guard coercing. In that case, I fully support this act.

@KamekoBruns, CA in a two party consent, but after the Glick V Boston, I don't need any public officials consent to record them in public spaces. I haven't even been harassed in CA yet, so they must be up to date with the First Circuit of Appeals ruling. My videos at American4Liberty. Later

@Obojangles93 Actually you are wrong. In and from public places you can film anything unless you are actually actively interfering with a crime or emergency scene. No expectation of privacy in public.

yes videotaping dawg. dont you give him that finger.

As a photographer I think you mishandled the situation to be quite honest. The first officer simply asked that you not record him. As there was nothing to be gained from doing so I see no reason why you simply wouldn't stop. He asked, he did not demand. To continue doing so was really just acting like a rather douchey prick. As for the 2nd guy, fuck him. I hope he got fired.

If a cops politely asks that I not film them I'll try not to. I'm not going to grandstand.

@Obojangles93 Wiretapping pertains to audio and you are confusing consent with knowledge so you really don't seem to know your shit. I am not aware of any states that require consent as most two-party states simply require that all parties involved in the call are made aware of the recording. For film there are no such laws. The current legal status is pretty much if you can see it from public land you can photograph it.

@tgva325 these thugs are not law enforcement and have no actual legal power to arrest anyone. they are employed by a private security firm known as wackenhut, and also operate private prisons in florida which is a conflict of interest.

[circusboy90210]

@Obojangles93 wiretapping only concerns private conversations over telecommunications devices not shooting video in public. your 17 and don't know shit yet. the city is coral gables fl.

[tgva325]

Stupid cops, they must have waved and nothing more!

[candlstudios]

Is there any recourse for when they actually grab your camera like that?

I'd imagine I'd get in trouble if I were to start grabbing people's property like that guy did.
