The empire state building... the statue of liberty.... heck, the unbelievable skyline, littered with modern skyscrapers are surely substances our cameras are addicted to. Whether your a would-be photographer, a curious tourist, or simply a kid with a kodak, taking pictures of one of the world's most famous cities is surely a basic necessity for anyone who enjoys creating pictures. Whether a dedicated artist or a mere hobbist, taking pictures of New York is awesome.

But past the Paris hilton headlines, the hillary Clinton theme song, and the Rosie VS Trump fued, lies an actual problem that actual concerns us!

As hard as it is to believe, New York Law makers are now banning photographgy in New York altogether. No YouTube videos, no tourist photos, no shakey home movies unless you obtain a permitt by the government, sometimes even requiring insurance. Supporters of the law say that filming them violates their privacy. The 4th ammendment states otherwise. According to the ammendment (Which by the law governs out country), city streets are fair game... in other words, when you walk onto a highway, a street corner, or a public park, you no longer have privacy rights.

So..... There you have it. Take your pictures quick and use that 1 hour photo developement at CVS..... you'll need it. No longer can we have the "privledge" of looking at your very own country via a piece of paper..... those days are over.

They say "A picture is worth a thousand words"........ but banning pictures only leaves two words..... "Holy S***"
