Security guards in a Silver Springs business district are enforcing a "no photography" policy, under the false claim that the street in question is private property.
The Peterson Company, which manages the buildings on this DC-area street, claims the right to protect their brand.
Not to be dissuaded, photographers have contacted NowPublic contributor Bill Adler (he of sippy-cup fame) and formed a Flickr group to post photos of the area in defiance of the ban, and a protest is being scheduled by area photographers.
this is the latest in the ongoing trend of private guards enforcing frivolous or nonexistent laws in the name of "security".
