BS meter pegged to the far right!
Its amazing that so many police/fire/EMS agencies worry about having their apparatus photographed but at the same time will roll out everything they have to some public event and wouldn't think twice about letting anyone take pictures. For instances, take National Law Enforcement Memorial Week in DC. No where else would you be able to find such a wide variety of vehicles from almost every type of LEA in the US in such a small area, all on display for the world to see. No one ever worries about "security then but try walking into lets say the US Capitol Police and ask to photograph their vehicles, they would probable laugh you out of the station.
I could never understand how a picture of a crown vic with a light bar and some decals hampered national security.. and I work full time in emergency management/homeland security.
