Basically, this [proposed NY City film permit ordinance]
opens the door to unlimited police interactions with photographers and
filmmakers, because under these proposed rules, if they were passed, basically
everyone with a camera, including everyone with a cell phone, would be
someone who might have to have a permit to do photography... with all the
people out there with cameras, most people are going to be left alone.
This is going to give the police license to stop people they want to stop
for whatever reason they want. And you can imagine who the likely targets
are of that sort of enforcement... People with dark skin, people who look
suspicious in the eyes of the police... It's going to be the people who
tend to be harassed by the police in other contexts. -- Christopher Dunn
