This isn't a thread about a run-in with a law enforecement official, but I feel it would fit in with this section of the forum. I was attempting to get permission to photograph from the Parking Garage B at PVD today. I saw that Jeremy (jerslice) had reccommended to ask the public relations department for permission or at least inform them that you would be there taking pictures as not to draw suspision from anyone.
So yesterday I sent and email to the public relations department at PVD and today a woman by the name of Toni got in touch with me about 11:00a. She asked what hours I would b there and I told her I would like to be there on the garage from 4:00p-6:30p. She told me that should be ok, but was going to check with the airport police and that she would call me right back if there was going to be an issue.
So a few minutes ago (about 2:40p), after not getting a call back I assumed all was good to go and I was about to write an email back to Toni when I got a call from her. She told me that I needed to call the dispatch andgive them some info. I was certanly ok with this. Then she mentioned that I would be all set for tomorrow. I politely corrected her and said it was for today. Thats when she said she had asked the PD about tomorrow and told me to hold on a minute while she checked about today.
About two minutes later she came back on the line and told me I would not be able to do it today as I needed to give them a days notice. Then she informed me that I would not be able to be on the garage for that long of a time period because there would need to be a police officer with me the entire time.
Just thought I'd share this info in the event anybody went to spot from teh garage at PVD. I still plan on heading up there right after work, but won't be able to get any ramp shots.
