You're wrong, he's not wearing a scarf there so that can't be him.

News to us, apparently taking your camera into the TTC subway systems (aside from being a giant no no) leads to being accused of planning terrorist bombings a la tribute to the London Metro bombings. According to the caretakers and train conductors cameras are a gateway to terror. Paranoid much?

Mind you if I was going to plan a terrorist bombing (which I'm definitely not in any way shape or form), I would probably do the following

A)pick a much more important and well travelled subway station.
B)would intelligently choose a much more discreet camera to use for taking planning photos.
C)Not be taking pictures of the wall.

Next time I'll apply for a permit.

Taking photos on the TTC is a big no-no. They don't let you. I had a friend who tried to get away with doing a small fashion shoot on the subway and got caught and ended up paying a fairly hefty fine.

edit- I believe this was pre- omgz tehhoroh era too.

You don't need a permit for non-commercial photography Next time you get accosted, tell them to better understand the bylaws.

Bylaw 16 section B which states, and I quote:

No person shall operate for commercial purposes any camera, video recording device, movie camera, or any similar device upon any vehicle or premises of the Commission without authorization.

I'll have to type that out and put it in my camera bag. I knew there wasn't really much they could do and they can't legally touch my physically or confiscate my private property but Keith and I decided to leave on our own accord and avoid the whole thing.

I think they're legally allowed to touch your swimsuit area.. but aside from that, everywhere else is off limits.

Every subway car and station have the bylaws posted, so just drag the TTC emplyee over to one and point at it

What if I'm not wearing any trunks?

Thanks Jerrold. I'm almost tempted to do it just to prove a point.

The area remains designated as previously mentioned.

it's a bit of a grey area with most TTC staff leaning on the "no photo" side. officially you are allowed to as long as it is not to be used for commercial purposes. it's hit and miss as far as if a staffer will let you go on this. (edit: as gasper pointed out)

what's been boggling my mind is this thing they have on the subway screens with some sort of exhibition of subway photos....taken by patrons!!! wft?? well how the hell are we supposed to get shots for this thing when the TTC goes all psycho on us when we take pictures?
