I knew common sense would eventually rule the day…with a little help.

Okay, I just skimmed the new proposal, but aren’t video makers having a problem with the sidewalk restrictions? Have you measured the sidewalk in your neighborhood? Just where am I allowed to shoot a video? xo QJ

I’ve got a problem with the new proposal’s regulation 9-01(2).
So, say I’m on Sixth Street in the East Village, and I’m videotaping an interview for YouTube with a waiter from one of the Indian restaurants there. The sidewalk’s skinny, but I want to get a shot of him in front of his restaurant. There’s a tripod, me, and my interviewee, so we’re taking more space than half the sidewalk, but pedestrians can get around us, no problem. Why do I need a permit for this?
Here’s the actual regulation:
9-01(2) The following activities do not require that a permit be obtained pursuant to this chapter:
(i) Filming or photography occurring on City property, as described in subdivision (a) of this section, involving the use of hand-held devices as defined in paragraph trhee of subdidivsion (a) of 9-02, provided that such activity neither involves the obstruction of one or more lanes of a street or walkway of a bridge, nor results in less thatn eight feet or one half of the width of a sidewalk or other public pedestrian passageway, whichever is greater, for unobstructed sidewalk use by pedestrian traffic.
Your comment? Let’s discuss!

This is Rakesh Sharma’s complaint to the Civilian Complaint Review Board:
http://www.rakeshfilm.com/NYPD/index.htm
In 2005, he was taking candid shots with a tourist-grade Sony palmcorder outside of the metlife building when police detained and interrogated him for 3 hours. He was not arrested, but not allowed to leave. His passport confiscated physically and verbally assaulted by a plainclothes detective.
He sued the city and won. Everyone who uses hand-held camera, might want to read this.

[…] won’t know until sometime in the new year what the MOFTB will decide to do in terms of amending their camera permits proposal one more time. Stay tuned . . […]
