| I think the other thing that bugs me about this is the fact that, if they are trying to keep these facilities low-key and unobtrusive, then the worst thing they can do is swarm an innocent photographer when he accidently snaps a pic of it. What surer way is there to confirm to someone "casing the joint" that the target has value.
I think, constitutionally, they can say "no photography" but I object to ending up with an FBI file because I was taking a photo of a 64 Corvette that happened to be in front of building X. There is legal precedent for prohibiting the photography of places like this building but it strikes me as futile. If someone wants a pic of building X all they have to do is go to the archives of the local newspaper or to the library or even to maps.google.com )there is a particularly good shot of the particular address in question on there). If they can't get what they need there they can always take personal photos surreptitiously or from a great distance using a 600mm lens. |
