in fact, it is encouraged.

update: just to make it clear for the more mentally challenged amongst you, this is not a case of brown photos or green photos or any other hues of photography but the profiling of brown people who act suspiciously such as talking on their mobile phones or taking photos.

an example, if you please.

this man was shot dead, 7 bullets in his head, for acting suspiciously whilst being brown.

I agree. Brown photos just shouldn't be shot. Shoot some nice green photos instead.

Nice. In fact, the last time I was on the T in Boston, I tried to take a picture and two policemen strongly encouraged me to put away the camera, telling me that to take pictures on public transportation was illegal.

@perrealt:

yeah, that's actually the law. I tried to film the train tracks on Huntington Ave. from across the street, and an MBTA cop came up and told me I couldn't. Even though I was not on MBTA property, and just as easily could have been filming the park across the street. Welcome to Boston!

keeps on happening.

As far as I can tell the cops are using s44. Which is a bit naughty. If you get pigged like this fill in a monitoring form from liberty.

There's a page with some useful info on their website:

Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 allows the police to stop and search anyone in a specific area.

Before Section 44, the police could only stop and search individuals if they had 'reasonable grounds' and certain criteria were met. That is no longer necessary, and we have seen Section 44 powers used against anti-war, anti-weapons and anti-capitalist protestors.

The power to stop and search under anti-terrorism powers should only be used when there is evidence of a specific terrorist threat. It should not be simply an addition to the day to day powers of officers policing protests.

• The police can only give you a pat down, remove outer clothes (eg jacket, hat), search your bags and have you empty your pockets
• You do not have to give your name and address
• You do not have to explain why you are there
• You are not allowed to flee the search, but you are not required to be actively compliant. You are allowed to 'go limp' as passive resistance during the search if you wish not to comply
• There is no permission to collect DNA data during the search
• You do not have to comply with any attempt to photograph or record you
• Women cannot be touched by male police during these searches
• Make notes about the officers searching you - name, number and police force
• Note the time and the events preceding the search
• Note the specific wording used by the police to explain their authority to search you
• Ask the police for the reason that they are searching you. Specifically, are they searching for terrorists or are they simply trying to deter, delay or inconvenience you?

This story wasn't race profiling. I'm not brown. Its because I was taking photos and they spotted me on the CCTV.
