A few years I was attending a trade show in New Orleans.  Walking down Bourbon St., I came up to a unique building.  I took out my camera to take a photo and a fellow photographer stopped me, grabbed my camera, and told me to jump in front of the building. I turned around, smiled, and then before I knew what happened, I was on the ground with a cop yelling in my face.

He claimed he thought I was going for his partner’s gun (HA), and made me delete the photos taken.  I wish I would have known my rights.  I suggest printing this document out and putting it in your camera bag.  Read it a few times.
