Cobert Nails AMTRAK For Arresting Photographer
This Cobert Report item, Nailed ‘Em - Amtrak Photographer had me in stitches.
Except like so much humor in this area it’s not so funny when you think about it.

It!
It would be funny if it weren't true. I was approached on DC's subway two years ago by a metro employee who warned me about taking pictures. I got his name. When I got to my office, I called the Metro police watch commander and loudly complained about that employee, by name. (As a former prosecutor, I knew who to call). Somebody needs to tell these idiots that all of these transportation agencies allow photography. Metro's only caveat is that they don't allow the use of a tripod. If it happens again, I'll go straight to the agency head and to the chairman of the Metro Board, Jim Graham.
