HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
I traveled two days ago to Laredo, and when i was taking photos in the middle of the bridge 5 police noted i was taking photos and they surround me and they said why i was taking photos, i responded there were from a chat boards rooms, and one police officer told me i can´t take any pictures in there even more to the officers faces cause i exposed their lifes to the the drug dealers.
The police officer took my camera and erased all the bridge and police officers even the dog photos and then he gave me back my camera.
There is more........................
I did not know taking Police Corporation Officers was illegal.

I talked with, police offices, border patrol officers, Army officers, Naval Officers and Marines Officers and they told me exactly the same. Those corporations cadets don´t have permission to post photos of themselve even more their faces on duty.............
Well this time i risked my tourist visa for some border photos.
Give your thoughts please.....

Wow Beto!
I know you aren't supposed to take pictures of people without their permission and you definitely can't post pictures of people on line or in public places without their permission. I don't know if you can take photos of the bridges or not, since terrorists could potentially use those pictures to do harm.
I think I'd limit my future photos to scenery if I were you.

Beto, US Veterans are the dearest to my heart on my list of people to help. I don't believe our gov't does anywhere near enough for them. Too many slip through the cracks due to the fact that they don't know what benefits they may apply to receive or the fact that they waited too long to apply.
The way the laws work here, a veteran has a certain length of time after he is injured or leaves the military to apply for help. If he doesn't apply within the allotted time, he is left out. It is shameful but it is true. My own brother, a Vietnam vet, is one of those unfortunate people.
Many people have fought long and hard for the benefits they do receive. We are still trying to reach out to veterans in need of help in spite of our government who wants to take away even more benefits from them. Many of the beggers on the street claim to be vets when, in reality, they are not.
I'm sure you see many Mexican people begging on the streets. I know Juarez is full of them. There are many who come across the border just to beg in store parking lots. Some just plain don't want to work. It is hard to determine who actually needs help and who doesn't. It is the same with American beggers.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
