One might want to take a close look at the law... there could be certain scenarios where an officer might ask you to vacate the premises and you legally might not have any alternative but to do so.

| Good point. Knowledge of the law on everyone's part is important. |

| I'm in the wrong field. Of the 250k payment, the person whose rights were violated gets 25k. 10%, the rest going to the attorney. |

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake weighed in on the issue Wednesday after the city's Board of Estimates voted to approve the $250,000 payment.
"We've been clear that the public has a right to film," she said.
Under the settlement agreement, Sharp will be paid $25,000. The rest will go to cover attorney fees accrued during the nearly four-year case.
"Originally, I asked for an apology. That was it," he said.
He now has one. Sharp received a framed copy of an apology from Batts. "We would like to personally assure you that we are working tirelessly to regain your trust," the letter says. |
That was a FOUR YEAR battle by the ACLU on the part of photographers everywhere. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. |

Four years sounds like a lot, but I highly doubt this was the only case being worked on during that time. Granted I don't know exactly how many actual hours were put in during those four years, but I'd be surprised if it even added up to 6 months of 40 hours per week work. Basically, without knowing how many actual hours were put in on the case, the length of the trial is meaningless, as there would likely be months of waiting during those 4 years. |

As the lawyer approached the Pearly Gates St. Peter remarked "Gosh, you look exceptionally young for your age!"
"What do you mean?" the lawyer replied, "I'm only 56."
"Oh," replied Peter, looking up from his ledger, "from the hours you billed we figured you had to be at least 110." |
