My understanding is that this rule only applies for time periods longer  than 
ten minutes or so, correct? If you're there under a few minutes, no  problem.
 
In some ways, this is better than other cities. Try suburban L.A-- any time  
you whip out a camera, people go ape. It's like you're a combined terrorist  
child molester. Everybody calls the cops nowadays. At least with the NY rules,  
you have some leeway.
 
I don't see much of a difference here- it's always been the case in L.A.  
that the minute a group shows up, especially with a tripod, you need a  
permit.....The NY rules actually seem to be a loosening of the general rules  
elsewhere, IMO.
