Shooting w/ Lighting Equipment at Mare Island..
- Thread starter BayCal
- Start date
that brought up a good question, did a lil research and nothing has changed legally since 9-11 regarding photography,
i found a pdf that explains your rights as a photographer

anything in the public domain is legal to photograph, you may run into trouble on private property but there are no real restrictions as to what you can capture in public, and cops have no right to confiscate your property unless your invading someones right to privacy which only exists on private property. although a telephoto lens can reach across the lines from public to private so be prepared to be harassed, but if you know your rights they cant really do shit except try to intimidate

^Very good post
However, for the thread starter. Mare Island is now officially private property, no longer owned by the City Of Vallejo. It is now owned by a company called Lennar, as far as I know. But I've gotten away with pictures from there many times, so have a lot of other people. Just be discreet, and stay away from their "Private Patrol"

Hahaha real talk. NY is crazy. I was taking flicks with Cuban Link at the Washington Bridge (we was kind of far away and the bridge was just the very far background) and I just had my camera, no lights nothing, all the sudden 14 (!!!) police officers came out of nowhere and got at us! The took my camera and looked through all the photos and I was taking flicks of the graffitis in the hall of fame in Harlem before the shoot so they was searching all our cars for spray cans and all that shit. I got my camera back and everything still they let us sit there 2 hours. One of the police guys calmed it down cause he realized who Cuban was, he was like: "Yo what up with you and fat joe you still got beef?" lol and he was like: "Fuck that fat fuck."
Funny I never had problems with Brookyn Bridge.
