trespassing on train tracks,

In spite of the fact that DART rules do not prohibit photography a security guard working for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit decided to chase after a photographer, while ignoring people who were violating the law by trespassing on the tracks. According to the photographer:

If you click on Full Size you will see there are two men walking on the tracks that I assume do not belong there. However, instead of the security guard harassing them about it, go after the guy with the camera.

You see, taking photos of the platform is not allowed. Since my main target was not the platform, when he followed me on to my bus I told him I had not shot the platform. He insisted that he had seen me do so and that was my warning and I better not do it again. So of course, more pics coming when I get a chance.

The security guard not only is a LIAR, he wasted time chasing after someone who was not in any way violating any rule or law, while at the same time deliberately ignoring a real violation taking place in front of his eyes.

DART rules can be seen here. They do not mention photography in any way.
