Photographer NOT Terrorist website

Hi folks

I think that printing this little memo may be useful today in UK: I've spotted on another forum

http://photographernotaterrorist.org/bust-card/

Remember every cop has it fresh in his mind about a fellow cop who has been murdered during a routine stop by some coke head. Be respectful, be polite and you will be fine.

I need a shirt that says "I'm a terrorist not a photographer"

Or "I'm a photo-terrorist."

Is there an American equivalent of this card? Or are local laws too varied to make it useful?

My t-shirt is halfway there. "I'm not a terrorist" 🙂

There was a movie a decade or two back called "Road Scholar", which had a scene where the narrator is watching a phalanx of tourists taking pictures of some sight in NYC and quips that "Tourists are terrorists with cameras; terrorists are tourists with guns."

The second link is specific to photographers. It's been posted here many times. The amazing thing to me is that some RFF members, despite being shown this card, and despite the fact that Bert Krages is an attorney who specializes in the rights of photographers, still think the police have rights that they do not.

It is stupidity like that which leads directly to the demise of civil liberties.
