"I visited downtown Silver Spring on June 23rd and to test a theory about 'no photography' rules. My theory is this: 'No photography' rules only apply to stand-alone cameras -- cameras that can be seen. If you have a cell phone camera you can snap photos to your heart's content and not be harassed at all. So I took my 3 megapixel Samsung D900 cell phone camera on a stroll through Ellsworth Avenue. Up and down I snapped photo after photo, and as far as anyone was concerned I was just having an extended phone conversation, I even took a close-up of two security guards, whose function is, among other things, to stop photographers." -- Bill Adler, "Photography Banned in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland", 2007-06-22</a>
