Trespassing for a photograph

[JacaRanda]

I guess that's what happens when you grow up in a country where people don't go around shooting people on a regular basis.

Must be nice!

In my hometown I once went into an abandoned house in an area that is almost completely abandoned (small town), and then a homeless man came in and said he wouldn't say anything if I gave him twenty bucks.

Being in a part of town with very few inhabitants with expensive camera gear and having a random dude coming in demanding money was...kind of a stressful experience. I haven't trespassed since then lol

Who would have have "said something" to? He was basically doing the same thing you were, just without a camera.

From the text of the article and other sources available, it would appear that the photographer and female subject were taking pictures on the tracks.

SPLAT!!!

End of discussion.

Well, there is no law that protects anyone from total stupidity.

Spacefuzz, believe it or not, there actually are a lot of secure or classified facilities that either are in, are surrounded by, border, or have national park land in the facility.

Among the ones that occur to me are....29 Palms (next to Joshua Tree), USS Arizona Memorial next to secure facilities at Ford Island and Pearl Harbor, The Warrenton Training Center, Vandenberg AFB, Ft. Monroe and White Sands national park is right next to White Sands Missile Range. Given the size of places like Ft. Hood and a number of other military posts, I'd be surprised if there aren't at a bunch more military and IC installations in the West that border or are in National Parks. Additionally, a couple of other places that have some public land in them or around them or next to them are...
--the NASA facility next to the Wallops Island National Refuge
--I did a shoot at the Pax River NAS Air Show...but photography on the route across the Pax River NAS to the air show location was prohibited.
--The National Cryptological Museum at the NSA (don't know if the NPS runs the NCM but it's public space open to the public).
