New Jersey Transit is trying to make it even harder to take pictures of their trains. Apparently you already have to get a permit to take pictures of the trains, but now they want to institute a 24 hour call ahead rule even after you get a permit. What's next - a note from your mother? Didn't anyone tell them that the MTA gave up on this idea?

I understand the increased need for security these days, but these ridiculous no photograph rules are quite unnecessary restrictions. Anyone that really wanting the photographs for an illegal purpose is probably not going to register or obey any restrictions anyway, so all they end up doing is penalizing lawful citizens. One more baby step towards a police state.
