Thomas Hawk's Digital Connection: Photographing Architecture is Not a Crime, Thomas Hawk vs. Building Security Episode 118

In this very strange post-9/11 world, sometimes even the simple act of taking a picture can get people riled up.

Knowing his rights, Thomas stood firm, and reminds us that we should do the same.

Luckily, I've only been run off from a few places that I was trying to photograph. Had I been armed with the information above, I would have probably stood my ground.
