I was there from around 10:30 till noon, The only cops I saw were in their car the whole time in front of the "Bell Telephone" building, blocking off Oakman. There were 5-6 people taking photos with the small shit cameras, myself and a couple others with what seemed to be better equipment, and the Freep guy was there taking pictures and interviewing Firefighters.

This story seems strange. Why is Curbed/Alexis Zimberg not pissed, It seems like getting a ticket was not a big deal even though that was the headline of the article...

"Meanwhile Police on the peripheries of Oakman Boulevard seemed focused on ticketing photographers [[us included), which we hope was for safety reasons."

You would think as journalists they would be pushing back a bit. Is "Curbed" journalism? lol Maybe someone from Curbed can speak about that, I know they have posted here before.
