Journalists Sue Fort Lauderdale Over Photography Ban

Fort Lauderdale has a lawsuit on its hands after letting a movie production company put up bogus no-trespassing signs, which attempted to prohibit photography by citing a random city ordinance.

The Hollywood film Rock of Ages is being filmed around the Himmarshee Village area. Several journalists and photographers were told they're not allowed to take pictures there, despite the presence of many bars, eateries, and open sidewalks nearby.

Attorney (and South Florida Gay News publisher) Norm Kent has filed a civil suit against the city and Police Chief Frank Adderly, whose police officers have been helping to enforce the photography ban.
