Arrested for taking pictures of Gate Guard at Gabreski Airport

The lady is a whack job and the story was too one sided.


Hope they throw her in jail without any lubes!

What a load of crapola. I didn't even make it past the second sentence before the tone of the piece was jumping out at me.

This reads just like all those nutcase email chains that different, suggestionable people send on to me, thinking I'll jump on board and adopt some crazy, one-sided viewpoint.

We all know of the different levels of paranoia at the different airfields(and other areas, even) when we have cameras on us. Some of it gets ridiculous, and we all know that. But this? Crapola.

On the other hand, I'm all for being cooperative and polite with police(and no one else), but if anyone tries to confiscate my memory card, they're in for a huge lawsuit. I have no problems showing people my camera, but the card stays with me.

Yea she is nuts though the officers around that airfield are badge heavy big time. I used to shoot there in 06' when I worked out east and got pulled over and the guy was a total loser. Asked me a million questions after taking 20 mins for the stop and finally after sitting in his car for another 10 handed me my paperwork and saying "get out of here before I cite you for what I can" to which I asked what that would be. He was floored and couldn't say anything. Sure seems like they just want to scare people away from there but that woman was a bit nuts.
