The Northern Muckraker bestows an award of sorts. [More]Deputy Gylfie, do you not realize what a cartoon "Only One" you come off as?
Your performance would be laughable if it weren't so outrageous.
Hey, if anybody from Al-Qaeda is reading this, I'd like to sell you a couple pictures of this target:
This one and this one. Hey, the first one shows tracks.
I can even arrange a tour for you.
And I'll throw this in for free.
Sorry, no personal checks.

Words can't describe how low I think these Fascist Statist thugs are.
Their agenda is transparent. They were looking for someone to kiss their fat asses, and got pissed when it didn't happen.
Clearly a case of a cop with too much time on his hands. What he the cop was trying to do was engineer a criminal case against a citizen without any sign of wrong doing. The cop was hoping that the photographer would say something that could be twisted or what have you to get the first step in engineering a criminal case. Anyone wonder why the US has more people in prison than China and Russia combined. This is not the America I remember when cops see someone doing something and jump on it to try and twist it into a criminal act to have them sent to jail. The cop was trying to send a citizen to jail if he the cop could create, manufacture a so called crime out of thin air. Here's how an open minded cop who had no agenda of sending an honest and innocent person to jail. Cop, "hi nice camera if you don't mind what kind of camera is that. I'm asking because I'm thinking about buying a new one and I'm hoping you can give me some information". The cop could have move forward and had some open dialog and would have seen this person was not a public danger.
On one hand, the photog does have a reasonable right to take photos for his own lawful purposes....
On the other hand, like it or not, we are a nation at war, a long term war, and the infra structure is subject to possible attacks.
Forinstance pictures of pearl harbor were strictly forbidden as a vital military installation.
So the cop does have a reasonable right to check the guy out to see if in fact he is a terrorist.
It would seem to me that if the photog had checked things out with the police before hand, let them know who he was and what he was doing and negotiated what he wanted to do, aproval would probably have been granted, once they figured out that he was not a bad guy. There are a lot of "train enthusiasts" out there who get their thrills taking pix of trains. There's no reason that they cannot be accomodated.
Anon, kiss my ass. You do not need permission to do something perfectly legal.
Your attitude is what gives rise to assholes like Gylfie.
