Abba Posted October 18, 2010 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2010 Could there be anything illegal about recording videos from your phone in the subway? I ask because i did so tonight near a token booth clerk.So what he did was he took a video of me.Sounds like he wasnt too happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted October 18, 2010 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2010 Photography and Video is purly legal as long as you DON'T use any flashes, tripods or what ever. ON public property tho! Sometimes doing it next to a worker is not the best thing as some will be a jacka$$ and start complainting that it is illegal and yadayada. I and the many others out there on Youtube and/or net video records on Transit property(Publicly)~ http://www.mta.info/nyct/rules/rules.htm 1050.9 - 3 (Formaly 1050.9 - C) Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or tripods may not be used. Members of the press holding valid identification issued by the New York City Police Department are hereby authorized to use necessary ancillary equipment. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part. BTW this applies ONLY to NYC Subway. MNR/LIRR none of the above applies but photos/video is legal as long as its not in a restricted/ no camera zone. Bus is legal as well but following the above rule of the Subway. If your outside the bus then your free to take pixs/vid even use tripods. Of course not on the depot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted October 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2010 I wonder about pushing the legal definitions a bit… such as using a monopod. That im not clearly sure about. But maybe it isn't illegal. Tripods is since it blocks free movement when stations is crowded. Monopods are small and i don't think it is a problem. Its like using the station benches as a monopod.

553 Bridgeton Posted October 18, 2010 Share #5 Posted October 18, 2010 I wouldnt have even said anything about bus photos. Your on public grounds when it comes to taking bus photos. If the driver says something, then fail on him/her. Even If you take photos of a bus leaving a garage your still on public grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specific restriction on tripods was only given as an example of what equipment is disallowed—probably because it's the most common and recognizable. A monopod most definitely belongs under the category of ancillary equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

error46146 Posted October 19, 2010 Share #9 Posted October 19, 2010 No. All recording is allowed on public areas with any equipment, camera or phone except for those mentioned on the MTA page for which you will need a press license. My philosophy: To avoid problems, avoid employees. Away from token booths and the front/middle of the train. They can't see you, they can't stop you.

CenSin Posted October 19, 2010 Share #10 Posted October 19, 2010 that actualy makes a lot of sense. even less conspicuous would be an umbrella with a detacheable handle. I understand the ban on tripods (partially), but not monopods and ancillary equipment that couldn't possibly be more dangerous than an umbrella or cane. Is a monopod supposed to be able to help take a super-accurate survey of the area so that terrorists can plan their operations with precision?

Well, you know, if 3 terrorists each brought their own monopod... you could very well have a TSD—a tripedal stabilizing device. It's a dangerous world out there.

On railroad u can use Tripods, there is no rule on that and ive seen it before. But sometimes its best not to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted October 23, 2010 Share #22 Posted October 23, 2010 No matter what people around you at the time say, it's not illegal to photograph or video any public part of the subway including but not limited to: Staircases, platforms, rolling stock, employees, vending machines, tracks, entrances, turnstiles, station booths, signs, railings. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
