That’s what we love. If you can make it, would love to see ya!
Is it LEGAL for the cops to confiscate a camera if they think they are being filmed???

They seem to do whatever they choose – that’s the whole problem. It’s not illegal to take photos, film – everyone does. I have video taken of me dozens of times a day underground. So, of course people video and take pics all the time. But the cops get power hungry and harassing at times. For anything, throwing gum in a trash can and missing, taking photographs, video, singing, the list goes one…
I actually met the guy who won a case some years back – dunno if I can find it, but here’s some conversation on the subject:

Hope to see you w/ your camera & video in hand Angela!!! : )
Hmmm…so you have a permit to perform? I find it hard to believe there are actual police on this beat…making sure there are no non-permitted musicians performing…what the? :0 (The video is great – but it was not “directed” by anyone…just shot by someone. π Keep it up!

Yeah – Tim switched me to Thurs…I changed it once site was live again and allowed me in : )
If he doesn’t show up to the hearing, charges get dropped, right? π

“Hey, it’s ‘Unreasonable Noise’! How you doin’?”
~ Officer Wilson, ‘visiting me @ 59th St/Columbus Circle – (he’s the cop who ‘served’ me for court on the 11th – Every chance I get, I make him laugh more than a uniformed cop should on duty, so we’ve kinda ‘made peace’ for the moment : )
My 'Legacy" : )
Heidi! At last I’ve cracked the various codes, etc. and can log in. I think the excessive noise cop is a keeper and I get a huge kick out of your ticket. Imagine – you can daily lift the spirits of countless people who happen your way. I love the pictures of the various fellow performers! Luv ya kiddo! Evie
