An Open Letter Regarding NYC's Proposed Changes To Permit Requirements 
for Photography.

Recently, the Mayor's Office of Film and Broadcasting proposed new rules 
regarding photographers. The proposed rules would require a permit for 
"activity involving a tripod and a crew of 5 or more people at one site 
for 10 minutes or more" (the 10 minutes include the time to set up the 
tripod) or or the same activity among two people at a single site for 
more than 30 minutes. The permit process also requires the photographer 
to carry 1 million dollars in liability insurance. Although the city 
believes that this is rare for "recreational" photographers, most 
amateurs I know would require a permit a good percentage of the time.
