Yep, once again, I was questioned by the police. The 2:38 train from PW to NYP. I was interviewing a couple on the train about the subway centenial. Right after I finished, 2 MTA cops came up to me. They told me that I can't be filming on any MTA property b/c of the heightened awareness. I asked them if they had a rule book on them and they just said the same thing again. They told me I needed a permit and a bunch of other BS that we all know is false.
I accepted defeat only b/c I knew the cops wanted to get the people I had just interviewed involved, and that's the last thing I wanted to happen. Fortunately after they left, the couple and two other girls on their way home from school all told me they knew I was right and was glad that I didn't just give up right away. The 2 girls were sayin the same thing alot of us railfans say, "they've got nothin better to do"
And NO, I wasn't using a tripod.
