City May Seek Permit and Insurance for Many Kinds of Public Photography - New York Times

Yes, that's an actual headline - New York City is considering making it mandatory to get a city license and carry $1 million in insurance if you're a party of two or more taking pictures or filming in one public location for more than 30 minutes, or using a tripod for more than 10 minutes.  They say it won't be used to harass tourists or families, but the language of the regulation is broad enough that it may.  The NY ACLU chapter is fighting it - good for them.
