(erielack) New NJT Photo permit procedure
I thought of an interesting exercise that would probably drive them
crazy-kind of a railfan flash mob. It will require a bunch of people to make
it work, but should tie them in knots.
We need maybe a dozen participants-more is better. Everyone go out on a
Saturday at 1000, or near that time, to shoot a train at your local NJ
Transit station. Go out, take your shot, and take off. An hour or two later,
repeat the process, at different stations. Then do it again later in the
day, again at different stations. Some caveats: if you see a cop of any
description, leave the station, even if you haven't taken your shot, or even
gotten out of your car. Don't linger at the station before or after taking
your shot. We don't want to give them an opportunity to get us. Don't repeat
any stations if possible.
Somebody should be listening to the NJT police channel to see where they are
so as to avoid a confrontation, and also to see how badly they get tied up
once the calls start coming in from the train crews. Perhaps after this NJ
Transit will see the folly of chasing around after all the photographers.
