Something very interesting I heard on the radio the other day. There was a discussion on area's of Detroit that were good for taking photos. During this discussion, several people called in to say that as they were taking photos downtown of buildings, police had came up to them and asked if they had permits to take the pictures. Since when do you need to have a permit to take pictures on public property!? Can this in anyway be true? They were told to put the cameras away or face a fine. If it was one person who'd had called in I would have dismissed it. But to have several call in and validate the claims kinda shocked me. Some of the people were taking pics in Hart Plaza and near the Ren Cen, as well as near Foxtown. Can this be true? Or can I tell a cop to pis off if he asks for a permit when taking pics downtown?
