A Note to All Photographers Who Have Been Harassed by Retarded Muni Fare Inspectors:

This exact same bullshit happened to me once. I took a picture of some fare inspectors and one of the fare inspectors told me to delete the picture I took of her. I did. Why? Because I didn’t know any of the photography rights back then. Shortly after I deleted the picture I took of her, she lectured on how taking pictures on Muni is prohibited, I was so terrified I didn’t even bother to question her.

Later that night, I wrote a complaint to Muni (I used a standard Muni operator complaint form, just use their badge number in place of the 4-digit number). It will take a while for them to respond, or if they don’t respond, just keep spamming them every now and then. Finally, Michelle Brewster, the head of security, sent an e-mail back to me saying “this reply is in regard to a PSR you initiated relating to your ability to take pictures in the subway and the interference of such by Fare Inspector #13 and her partner. Videotaping/photography are not specifically addressed in any policy; the activity of such in “paid” areas is permitted as long as it does not interfere with the safe ingress and egress of Muni passengers. This platform access policy will be reiterated to the staff.”

Looks like Number 32 either didn’t listen or Michelle Brewster didn’t do her job.
