In New York, the city is proposing new rules to require many photographers and camera operators to obtain permits before taking photos or shooting video in the city. Under the proposal, any group of two or more people using a handheld camera in one location for more than thirty minutes would be required to have a permit and $1 million in insurance. In addition small groups using a single tripod for more than ten minutes would be forced to obtain a permit and insurance.
This is wrong on so many levels. So, they can stick a camera on traffic lights, street lights and anywhere else they want, but when it comes to us (possibly) keeping an eye on them, we need to let them know we're doing it? That's ridiculous.
This is what you call (say it with me) OPPRESSION.
Sure, it's only in New York, for now and it hasn't passed yet. .
