I’m in Washington DC for a conference this week. During a break, I took some photos, though I was hesitant to take any photos that included security (and Washington DC security is everywhere). Based on a blog called War on Photography, [1] my paranoia might have been justified.
The behavior reported in War on Photography reminds me of parts of China, where I travelled in 1999 and 2001. There, police officers brazenly told people that they couldn’ take some sorts of photos, for instance photos of the protesting Fulang Gong. Though we didn’t see this behavior ourselves, we heard this from our Chinese-based translators.
