stopped by a worker Lol

looks like he was having a bad day or whatever he went on to say the mta hates news reporters and they dont want anyone to know how crappy its run but anyway my point of this is to say dont they all know its ok to take photos now?

I dont understand your post. Were you told to stop taking pictures? Did this worker produce ID?

yeah I forgot the stop but I did take pictures but It had a MTA outfit and had a badge but I did not get a good look at it.. but figures it would happen on the day I left the printed MTA letter out of my bag.. I went back to shooting at other stations but he was like "Well I did not want to say anything to you, you look like a cool guy so I just wanted to let you know before one of the workers call the MTA police and they take your camera or handcuff you"

Then he went on his little rant with the MTA and then some other stuff.. I was just glad when the train left.. I'd have to look at the pictures again and maybe someone might know the stop.

but yeah in a nutshell he told me to stop.. I wished I had the letter with me.. he is kinda in one of the shots I took when I shot the platform.

btw the stop was the Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard

I'm not exactly following your post either.

pretty easy to follow.. MTA worker told me to stop taking pictures then went on a rant about the MTA and how they don't like the news media to say anything bad about them.

thats the Nutshell version of it...

Yea I got it, but if you don't work for the media then why would he say this? Unless you do work for the media and forgot to mention that.

The LIRR inof link is nice but it does not apply to the NYC Subway. There are separate rules for the subway:

Click on "Resticted Areas and Activities"

The particular section is 1050.9 (c)

Both say the same thing- there are no restrictions on hobby photography. Print out both and keep them in your camera bag.
