Subject: Police limits on taking photo's in DC


The Washington Post carries a story this morning about the tendency of many police officers to interfere with people 
taking photographs of buildings and police operations in DC on vague claims of security or in one hilarious case, by 
citing the entire criminal code as authority.

Reminds me of my travels through the Soviet Union in the early1980's.
