No Photo Ban in Subways, Yet an Arrest
,----[ Quote ]
| Finished with his camera, Mr. Taylor, 30, was about to board the train when a
| police officer called to him. He stepped back from the train.
|
| “The cop wanted my ID, and I showed it to him,” Mr. Taylor said. “He told me
| I couldn’t take the pictures. I told him that’s not true, that the rules
| permitted it. He said I was wrong. I said, ‘I’m willing to bet your
| paycheck.’ ”
|
| Mr. Taylor was right. The officer was enforcing a nonexistent rule. And if
| recent experience is any guide, one paycheck won’t come close to covering
| what a wrongful arrest in this kind of case could cost the taxpayers.

,----[ Quote ]
| Pirate Bay spokesman Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi took the stand today at his trial
| and attacked the notion that The Pirate Bay is stuffed to the crow's nest
| with illegal content. Not true, he said; his own survey of 1,000 torrents
| suggested that most were legal.
