For the umpteenth time, 50 State Security has erroneously decided that it must stop photography in and around Miami MetroRail stations, even though the county has very clearly written policy that permits it. Worse, the idiots in uniform assaulted photographer and civil rights activist Carlos Miller, according the Miami New Times.
Make no mistake; in the United States, photography is permitted in public places, and that specifically includes train stations. There are no laws that restrict one's right to take photos in or around train stations. Not one law. The county has confirmed this on numerous occasions. You can even access the law online, and it's very clear that photography is permitted.
Worse, 50 State Security knows this. They should have gotten the message in the wake of the incident where they illegally seized private property.
It is long past time for Miami Metrorail to fire these cretins and replace them with a reputable company that adheres to the actual law. The citizens of Miami-Dade county deserve better than the clowns employed by 50 State Security.
