NPPA Members I'm posting this message that I read from a usenet thread dedicated to photojournalism that ran this past Sunday May 2, from North Carolina. In light of the past few weeks discussions on the film confiscation by police in East Lansing, Mich. this camera confiscation by police seems to show the way police are now operating. The confiscation technique seem to be quite widespread. It looks like the NPPA and other professional organizations are going to have to do a lot of public educating to get the problem resolved. Neil Schneider ---------- From: "Bob" <desmobob@capital.net> Newsgroups: alt.journalism.photo Subject: Camera confiscation? Date: Sun, May 2, 1999, 9:41 AM Here's a quote from a story in today's news: "Everybody who was taking pictures had their cameras taken away by the cops," Tiano said. Guess what country... Concord, North Carolina, USA. The story was describing an accident at a car race track where debris flew into the crowd and killed three spectators. If you were there, as a spectator, what would you do when a police officer demanded you give him your camera? -- Bob Scott

My guess is the NPPA would say this is a labor dispute and that is why they are not getting involved... Richard R. Morava I don't foresee ever being huge. I am just famous enough to be annoyed by it...
