Know Your Rights
We have not seen revised regulations from the city. But in the meantime, the First Amendment is still in place and Photojojo has written up The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography.
Their disclosure:
We have to point out that even though we’re smart and awesome and devastatingly attractive, we’re not lawyers. None of this should be construed as legal advice. If you have a legal issue, get in touch with a lawyer.
Very sensible.
UPDATE: Attorney Bert Krages has posted a downloadable guide, The Photographer’s Right. It’s loosely based on the Bust Card and the Know Your Rights pamphlet put out by the ACLU, meant to be carried in your wallet.
