    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.

    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.
