I wish you guys would go to railroad stations and do this stuff. Everytime I try to take pictures of trains somebody harrasses me telling me I cant do that and then they ruin my day.

The federal idiots have nothing better to do than hassle someone for taking a photo. Fact is, go on google and it's most likely already photographed. Down with any enforcement.

I hate it when photographers try to assert Supreme Court rulings to security and law enforcement. Arguing that shit isn't going to get anywhere with them. It just aggravates the situation. Try another tactic.

"Dude, why are you bothering me? I'm just standing at my post trying to have a siesta and doing what I do everyday---not a God damned thing for my $80K/yr and unbelievable retirement/benefits package all in the name of security. Don't you remember 9/11?"

The law that previously prohibited photographing federal property falls under The General Services Administration (They own the building). The Federal Management Regulation is Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR's) Part 102-74, Subpart C.

It is the decsion of the building or facility administrator or as to what will be allowed and what will not be allowed as to photographing the inside or outside of a building or facility. These laws are enforced by the Federal Protective Service.

what is it his concern what you are there taping for? the officer is such a control trip. just because he is addressing another person does not mean he can not respond. federal property is the property of the people so unless the videotaping is concerning military secrets there is no expectation of privacy.
