Looks like the UTA (utah transit authority) nabbed me
off the trax last Saturday due to my slinging my Canon
D30 camera around my shoulder. Okay, they found some
landscape and architectural shots and confiscated the
CF card. Not a happy camper there. I believe that it's
unlawful search and seizure once again. Anyways, they
wrote me an ordinance fine which is a complete joke.
50 ducks?
My roommate tested it as well. He brought a Nikon N55.
He did confront the same female police officer (whom I
confronted already once a few months ago) and no
problems there.
Conclusion: White guy photog, alright. Asian photog,
profiled. I guess that there is color profiling for
photoshop and color profiling for the authorities :p.
Anyways, I did talk with my bishop who is also a trial
prosecution lawyer and he is going to be settling this
fairly soon.
2nd Conclusion: Busted once with Olympus E-10, busted
once with Canon D-30 with Canon lens. Never busted
with Leica. Must use Leica lenses on digital Canon.
Okay. Must be that Leica is the magic brand here.
Okay, hey Paul. Just a shout out to my crew.
It's back to some real picture taking again. Enuf of
the ranting.
