Another photographer gets harassed on the Miami-Dade Metrorail

Less than two weeks after 20 photographers conducted a photo protest on the Miami-Dade Metrorail system, security guards were at it again, telling a photographer he was not allowed to take photos. Obviously, Miami-Dade Transit and 50 State Security have made minimal effort to educate security guards that photography, is indeed, allowed on the Metrorail.

The latest incident occurred earlier today when Joel Mora, a recent graduate of the University of Florida’s photojournalism program, took the train from the Dadeland North Station and headed north, taking a couple of shots through the window. His initial goal was to get off at the Government Center and explore downtown Miami with his camera.

But he missed the stop and ended up getting off at the Overtown Station, which is the next one over. He took the above shot from the platform and made his way downstairs.

This is how he explains it in an email to Photography is Not a Crime:

I know how it feels too

I know how it feels too. I was with some classmates at Freedom Tower Station doing some sketches and taking some pictures of some buildings for a Perspective Drawing class and we just took our drawing pads out when a security guard told us to take the next train or get out the station. I’m a int’l student at MIU so I thought it was illegal (or something like that) to draw/take pictures in there (which I found really weird because of all the tourist that come to Miami), so we leaved. Now I know it’s perfectly fine take pictures, and next time we’ll claim our rights. Thanks for such an informative blog!
