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.”
