I'd tell him to go get his Col. and bring him out to me so I could explain the US
Constitution to him and ask him what law I was braking. After 27 years in the military the one thing I know is that someone sent him out who probably doesn't have a clue as to what they have legal authority over. Demanding to see the commander at the fence would either shut them right up, or you would find out there was a no local ordinance. I'd bet on him leaving and not coming back.

My wife and I had been hiking in the hills at the foot of the Berkshires and and when we got back to the car we decided to stop at Barnes Airport (KBAF) and hang out watching the planes, for a while, and cool off after the hike. So we parked on the side of the road next to rnwy 20, sat on the tailgate and sipped on a soda as the planes came and went, as we have done intermittently for over 3 decades. After 1/2 hour, a camo Hummer pulled out of the Air National Guard base (on the other side of the airport) and came toward us. It pulled up to the fence next to us. G.I. Joe sat there for a minute doing whatever (chambering a round in his 9mm?), then got out and informed us that "You can't stay there!". "We're just having a soda and watching the planes", I said. He repeated "You can't stay there!". "I've been coming to this spot for over 30 years, damn, 9/11's got you guys pretty edgy, huh. I'm a pilot and I've flown in here more times than I can count". "You have to leave, NOW, sir!", he replied sternly. "Is there any place, around here, where it's OK to sit and watch the planes?", my wife asked. "Not here.......there's a place to watch the planes at Bradley" (KBDL....20 miles away, I know the place off rnwy 6......perfect spot to lob a Stinger Missile up the ass of a 747 on takeoff), "but you can't stay here". Realizing the futility of further discussion, I said, "OK, we're outta here". I closed up the tailgate of the Tahoe and he went back to his Hummer. My wife and I climbed in, and we started driving off. A 1/2 mile down the road my wife says, "You know, he was taking pictures of you as you were closing the tailgate". "Oh, ****" So, now, Folks, .....somewhere in Washington, in some little file, there are probably twenty seven 8x10 color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was, to be used as evidence against me. The next airline trip should be fun......can you say "Cavity Search"! Hoping you all stay out of the database.

![]() "Steve Foley" wrote in message ... What authority is needed to take pictures? There are privacy laws in most states prohibiting people taking pictures of you if you don't want them taken, especially if the pictures are being taken as a form of intimidation or some other threat such as embarrassment. I don't know about Massachusetts but across the state line in New York the privacy laws are very strict indeed. Courts have held that celebrities must have a lower expectation of privacy, but even then the celeb's image cannot be used to promote a product or service without permission. After all, the only real asset many celebrities have is their image, and it is not fair to allow just anyone to make commercial use of it. |
