Then a cop walked up to him and starts asking the usual dumb questions as to why is taking pictures of whatever he happens to be taking pictures of. The photographer answers all his questions, which apparently satisfy the officer. But that didn’t stop the officer from departing with these words.
“Well, if you keep taking pictures in the wrong direction, don’t be surprised if someone else comes by to ask you for your ID.”
Obviously, this officer has not read the newly released operations order from the NYPD that explains that photographers are not terrorists.

Not sure what to make of this one. Was it just that the cop didn't receive the memo that photographers are not terrorists? Or perhaps they were told to ask questions of photographers anyway. I guess the guy actually got off lightly: he could have been tased in the eyeball.
Would think that the memo would change things.
But the problem is that he shouldn't have any encounter with a cop to begin with.
