Amtrak arrests man for taking photos

Photographer Duane Kerzic was arrested by the Amtrak Police for trespassing when he refused to delete pictures of trains. Kerzic was photographing trains as part of Amtrak’s annual contest for photos of Amtrak trains.

This story has all the ingredients that you would find in some banana republic:

A decrepit socialist railroad – check
A second rate thug acting as a cop – check
A government frightened of its own people - check

Kudos for Mr. Kerzic for refusing to submit to the government thug. Most men would simply obey in order not to get into trouble. Mr. Kerzic demonstrated that he is a man of integrity.

True freedom means freedom from the government.
