The National Press Photographers Association

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) joins Picture New York in objecting to the proposed regulations. Tony Overman, president of the NPPA states “we are offended at the notion that a city agency or police officer would have the power to keep a photographer from taking a picture or video on a public street. This permit rule change creates that very real possibility. City property belongs to the citizens and the city has no right to limit safe, constitutionally protected behavior in a public venue.”

    There is a double standard being set here that has to be against our constituitional rights. There are thousands of security cameras throughout New York. If these limitations are set against average citizens using cameras on the street, then surely the regulations must be applied against the owners of the security cameras.
