Land of the “free”

Via Roberta and Tam, the jackboots are alive and well in Miami.

First there’s the “Chief of Safety and Security,” who said

“If you tell us that you’re not using the pictures for commercial work and they’re (for) personal use, at that point in time the security officers, and/or the MDT representative should feel that his question is answered and at that point you’re free to take pictures until the next train comes or whatever.”

Of course the “president of the security contractor,” says

“All we would know is what you tell us and we would not stand by that.  We would ask you to identify yourself and if you didn’t have a permit we would ask you to leave. In fact… you would have to leave or we would notify law enforcement of the situation.  We would need approval from the county, a form that the county provides us.”  He went on to say that anyone who does not have that form would be prevented from making photographs on MDT property.

Hmm. Seems to be a failure to communicate heah.  So whaddaya suppose does happen if you show up with a camera?

Read the whole thing, and be quietly infuriated while you set off your fireworks.
