Are you an amateur photographer, interested in taking pictures of interesting places in your town? Perhaps you’ve purchased a new camera, and would like to enjoy trying out its features.
This is America, a free place, and you should be able to enjoy taking pictures free from the badgering of local officials. They may be ignorant of your rights, but you can be well-informed.
