Hi,
I got this info from shootingpeople.com (you can become a member and get one email a day with job, tips etc) and probably it's worth sharing with shooting brothers. And sisters ;D SO this is the info:
""Oh-kay. Someone had to look this up, so, being a retired lawyer, I volunteer.
Here's the skinny:
Section 1050.9(c) of the New York City Transit Adjudication Bureau Rules says
“Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is
permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or
tripods may not be used. Members of the press holding valid identification
issued by the New York City Police Department are hereby authorized to use
necessary ancillary equipment. All photographic activity must be conducted in
accordance with the provision of these Rules.” So it seems that you only need
a permit if you're using lights, reflectors or tripods.
As to the penalties for violating this rule, Rule 1050.10 says, “Pursuant to
section 1204(5-a) of the Public Authorities Law, any person committing one or
more violations of these rules shall be subject to either:
(a) criminal prosecution in the criminal court of the City of New York, which
court may impose a fine not to exceed twenty-five dollars or a term of
imprisonment for not longer than ten days, or both; or (b) civil penalties
imposed by the transit adjudication bureau in an amount not to exceed one
hundred dollars per violation (exclusive of interest or costs assessed
thereon).
"1. The schedule of such civil penalties will be set forth in an internal
procedure manual of the transit adjudication bureau and may be revised from
time to time, including provisions for repeat offenses.
"2. In addition to a civil penalty for one or more violations of these rules,
an additional penalty, not to exceed fifty dollars, may be imposed upon the
failure of a respondent in any proceeding commenced with respect to any such
violation to make a timely response to or appearance in connection with a
notice of violation or order issued by the Authority in such proceeding."
