I thought that sort of thing only happened in Jersey...
This is food for thought, this happened last spring in May. I was with a
couple of my railfan buddies and we were on the Burlington at the Hollywood
Station shooting pictures. A Brookfield city police car stopped and asked us
what
were we doing? I said shooting some pictures of the trains. He told us we had
to
move on as we weren't waiting for a Dinky that we had no right to be there.
The cop really looked like Barney Fife although I didn't point that out to him
at the time. He also said that it was his right to arrest us, I suppose for
"crimes against the state". So we did the easy way out, told him to have a nice
day as we got into my truck and left.
Yes I understand security but I think this is going a bit too far. I've been
thinking of buying a new camera a Pentax Digital SLR, but if this is the way
it's going to be when you're out just shooting some pictures..... why waste
money on a new camera?
