Mike, I wonder if such a list would be 'unconstitutional?'
Does anyone know if any of these laws against photographing buildings et al. has been challenged by photographers in court? I find it incredulous that these prohibitions can be 'constitutional'. I suppose in this case, since the photographer was not arrested or charged with a crime, there is no way to challenge this in court, unless he found a lawyer willing to bring a harrassment charge.
IMO, if my government does not want me to photograph something, they should put a big fence/wall around it with no trespassing signs. Of course I would still want the right to photograph the wall/fence.
President Roosevelt's words from his innaugarel address in 1933 still say it best, "So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory."
