Got this email from my friend, it's quite disturbing... so if you're filmmakers/photographers from the big apple, you should look into this. Read the original NY Times article, the link is at the bottom.
===============================================================
Friends,
Introduced quietly just before Memorial Day weekend, the regulations could severely impede the ability of even casual photographers and filmmakers to operate in New York City: A group of two or more people who want to use a camera in a single public location for more than a half hour (including setup and breakdown time) could be required to get a city permit and $1 million in liability insurance. According to the NY Civil Liberties Union, “these regulations violate the First Amendment right to photograph in public places, and open the door to selective and discriminatory enforcement.” See links for more information below.
This Thursday members of the film/photography/activist/etc communities will come together to brainstorm ideas for creative actions to take place before the close of the public comment period on August 3rd. On Sunday, arts organization Not An Alternative will host a day of props production to produce visuals for a demonstration against the regulations.
