This is pretty good: Fox 5's Tom Fitzgerald decided to do a report on the ongoing harassment of photographers inside D.C.'s busy Union Station, a topic we've written about and heard about from our own Flickr contributors many times before. While he was there interviewing Amtrak's spokesperson on the subject, who in fact told the reporter that photography is absolutely allowed inside the Amtrak portion of the station, a security guard came up to the Fox 5 crew and told them turn their cameras off. You can watch the report here.

We've reported a few times on the issues that photographers run into with security around the D.C. area. In fact, stories of photographers being wrongly told that they're not allowed to take pictures happens so often that there's a whole group on Flickr dedicated to fighting against it.
