FuzZy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I was at a railroad crossing the othernight and the train was stopped.....so I got out of my car and decided to bench a little while I was waiting. Well out of no where a dick from the rail company comes up and starts drilling me about taking pics of trains and that its illegal and all that shit. Then he tells me I can either wait for the cops or give him my tag numbers.....reason he couldn't see them cause I was obviously standing in front of them. So I had no way out w/ out him seeing my tags and didn't feel like waiting for the cops...so I left. Well my cousin ran in my house telling me there was a railraod cop out front asking questions about my car and where I was........ What can they even do.....I didn't know even know that it was illegal but the dude said since 911 they have been freaking out about shit like that??/?? any suggestions or comments...........

They could get you for trespassing. I never knew it was illegal to take pictures of trains, you should probably do some research on that. If you weren't breaking any laws, file a complaint against that prick. And if you're of race, MILK that race card homie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzZy Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 they could definitely get me for trespassing since I was actually walking on the tracks......but I didn't think it illegal either to take flics of a train seeing how it is public but that nine 11 shit has got everything fucked up.....

Gunm Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Don't worry Fuzzy, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. He just seems like an asshole on a power trip. But just to be safe, i would round up all graffiti related gear at your house and stash it for a quick minute...you never know how for these Napoleon types are willing to fo with shit like this. Regardless, this railroad guy sounds like a f'ing idiot....don't stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfffffffffft Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 fuzzy- i know where you are, i grew up there.. when taking this chic to prom, downtown at the football stadium, we were on our way there and we got stopped at a train crossing, the motherfucker STOPPED in the middle of the road. so i decided to get out and bench a little, i walked about ten yards down the line(wearing a tux) and the same thing happened to me. the area you are in is bad for that shit. the yard is smack dead in the middle of crack land. they have to deal with bullshit all the time. ive traveled a lot and been on many RR properties and never, NEVER been hassled like i have in the city you life in.... here its pretty chill, just wave at the conductors and smile...i even stop them and talk to them about lines.. its mad chill for themost part.

FuzZy Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 yeah I was planning on acting stupid when I actually talk to the railroad cop I mean I wouldn't be lying to the either of the 2 dudes really I was taking pics of trains.....I had no idea it was illegal ...beside the trespassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R@ndomH3ro Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I would have acted like a railfan too, I really dont think that taking pics of trains is illegal. But walking on the tracks, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Anytime i have gone benching, i try to stay as visible as possible, make eye contact with conductors and workers and keep up a "I'm just here doing innocent stuff for a school project" vibe. The worst i have ever dealt with is a worker telling me "Well, i don't care that you're here but technically you could be charged with tresspassing.......like i said, i don't care you're here." but as Pffffft said, it really depends on the area and the Yard you're at.
