Wait. What? Get a Permit to Make a Video?

Shut down amateur videomakers? That's what the NYC Mayor's office wants to do with new permit regulations. PictureNY.org for info. QueenJuliana captures street philosophers in the subways, parks, and on the bustling sidewalks of NYC. She has just a hand-held camera, but the city wants her to apply for a permit every time she hit sthe streets to celebrate freedom of speech.

I think the Mayor's Office and the police want a regulation so they arrest and interrogate "suspected terrorists". The NYPD arrested a man from India last year - he was videotaping in Times Square. (While he was in custody, they treated him very badly, and there was no law to back up the arrest, so he sued the city.)
