New York fail?

I'm scared, this week of fail is a bad omen to my trip to New York.

I've heard (and this is a freedom of speech post) that the NYPD can arrest you without explanation if they think you're doing suspicious activity by taking pictures or videotaping suspiciously.

There will be no FOTC real locations in NYC video tour due to that. I have to keep to the tourist's clause of no tripods to keep myself safe and not to venture outside of designated tourist areas.

I guess this is the first vacation that I won't be a video producer.
