After reading through these comments I can’t believe how many people are dismissive of their rights being trampled upon.

I commend the blog author for investigating this matter further. If more people actually took the time to question and not just accept whatever is handed to them (in this case, nothing substantial enough to warrant you being stopped for – eyeroll here – snapping a few pics!) the world would be a far better place.

As they say, and I agree, most people are sheep. The American Revolutionary War, the Constitution, our Bill of Rights, people were pissed off enough to make it happen. Imagine if they followed such sage advice like “Get a life.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gatsby were a cop himself. Enjoy your leisure time at the beach while the rest of us ensure your right to do so.

Anybody look into whether the Arlington Police Department and their officers being hired to do security outside of their jobs are breaking the law by working private security and using their uniforms, badges, guns, police cars, etc. as ways to dupe citizens into thinking they are on official police business? The article Governments and Rent-A-Cops Harass Photographers suggests that they may have broken a few sections of US Civil Rights law. I'm uncomfortable that cops can effectively be acting as private security guards and yet use the color of law to push people around like they did to Mr. McCammon.

Yep, “visited” that building today on Google Earth, including a good look at the police car parked in front of it. I can even see the face of the cop in the car. With Google Earth and Street View, why would a terrorist need to risk detection by photographing it in person? Their “security” is worthless.

Hi – I am a community activist and serve the City of Miami in several roles including as Chair of the Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond Oversight Board. We oversee all of the capital improvements in the city including police and fire.

I am also a journalist and a member of the South Florida Internation Press Club – at our last luncheon we hosted a speaker from the Society of professional journalist, South Florida Chapter President Julie Kay, who educated us about what is and what is not covered by the First Amendment.

It certainly is under assault today!

Anyway – thought you might like to see the building you were trying to photograph – it’s on wikipedia!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Darpaheadquarters.jpg

You can find this building on Google Street view. Doesn’t that sort of make this a moot point?

Seriously, punch it in. Its right there.

Post 911 has brought a host of problems for security and enforcement that has allowed the terror of extremists to win the war. Our personal freedoms and rights have never at any point come under such attack since the Magna Carta. As citizens we need to exercise our rights but more importantly also lobby our elected representatives to allow for greater disclosure of what they have on each of us individually. This is the only safeguard we know have to make sure the wrong information is not on file against us somewhere. Enforcement at all levels takes information daily from sources for which we have no idea. We need to be able to know at any given time what is on file. Good on you for at least complaining many don’t and the fine line between tyranny and freedom can be slim if the person for whom unknown allegations may be on file is you!
