> photography and requiring transit riders to present identification when
> asked by police. The case was filed in November 2011 by the New York Civil
> Liberties Union in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
> New York, covering New York City after two photographers waiting for an
> historic subway train were arrested for photographing the subway and
> failing to present identification to the police.

> The photographers, Steve Barry and Michael Burkhart, are rail enthusiasts
> and members of the National Railway Historical Society. Barry is editor
> of Railfan & Railroad Magazine.
