Obscure DC regulations could target photographers
Reported in October that thousands in the District have been arrested in recent years for expired tags.
Although most professional and amateur photographers were not the intended target of these municipal regulations, which were originally crafted to regulate street-vendor type cameramen who take photos of tourists and sell them for a fee, some worry that there is still potential for abuse.
Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, said that although he has not heard of anyone being subjected to the regulation, the language of the laws is vague enough to pose a threat of enforcement to a non-hawker photographer. The possibility alone was enough to provoke him to write a letter to the city's attorney general asking the city to repeal and revise the laws , he said.
“I understand that might not have been their intent, but the thing that concerns me is that photographers lately have been interfered with without statutes on the book, they are charged with disorderly conduct or interfering with arrest, even when mostly taking pictures in public is not a crime,” he said, adding that he would not be surprised, for example, to see police issuing tickets and arresting photographers for violating these regulations at an Occupy Wall Street-type demonstration.

5 Steps to Growing Your Book of Business with Social Media ...
Social networks make it easier than ever to identify, attract, engage and influence the decisions of your target market and ideal clients. Social media provides amazing and often free tools that make it possible for lawyers and other professional service providers to systemize and automate huge portions of their personal marketing and business development activities.
Far too often, I find that lawyers are not using social media and social networks to increase their books of business because they are simply to overwhelmed about exactly what to do and how to get started.
