Guess what?
Today I took a day off from my work, about 9:30 I was @ Bayswaters(should I get scarred?)...later arrivals changed to 31R and I went to Costco Parking lot...later came another aircraft spotter, but he left early...
Later, with a camera taking photos, suddenly I do hear: "Hello" and I see Nassau PD car next to me...
Well, this time was a short- few minutes chat with these 2 nice cops, they asked my ID, scanned in a minute on their computer, gave my ID back to me and told me: "Have A nice Day"...and they drove off...
After "Hello", they told me, that they got a call from someone... their - cops words(with a smile) to me: "You made someone very nervous"...
It was totally different experience today than on saturday...I told cops today that I was saturday arrested @ Bayswater, they were very surprised...they couldn't believe...And these Nassau cops very well aware about our hobby - they did tell me that they do know very well about...
NCPD officers are alot friendlier there, many know who we are. At many points they do get calls about us taking pictures from Costco, but remember that when you shoot from Costcos you are on their property and if u were asked to leave then it's a must. Best bet, at least purchase something from there to keep things on the good side. We dont ususally always be asked to leave but some might say you must. But im glad things got better

While on public property, they could put hand-cuffs on...
I got kinda nervous seeing cops a few days after I got arrested, a few minutes later - The whole World turned around - just like meeting best friends...:rolleyes::cool:
Go, figure out that...
Gintaras you have a special magnetic personality. It attracts the law :tongue:
I have to agree with this. Being nasty with anyone who confronts you about your spotting will lead to further problems in the future. Shame that planeview park near LGA is the only hassle free spotter location in the city.Quote:

And he was illegally parked (he was a gypsy driver) while he smoked a cigarette or two all while harassing me. Too funny...Quote:
