I have been stopped and questioned (politely) many times for photographing the sights along Burlington St at night - usually security has been quite polite and only needs to hear that I take pictures for fun and that I am not planning on cutting the fence etc. But I am sure that my plates in a shared database of weird people who take pictures in the dark.

It is also interesting how there is practically no place to park a car anywhere in the industrial zones (which I call Mordor)

My 3 semesters of Media Law tells me that one may photograph from public property towards private property where the subject has "no expectation of privacy" - ie taking pictures through a window is not a good idea - enormous factories are fair game for anyone. The Port Authority and it's private security cousins are a pretty bored lot from what I can see. Offering to wait for a police officer to dicate actual law seems to make them drive away in a huff...
