Evidently the brass at NYPD thought it would be a good idea to start using the #myNYPD on Twitter and Facebook, hilarity ensues.

I think it was in Illinois that a court ruled that - despite laws to the contrary - it wasn't illegal to photograph a public official engaged in his public duties while out in public.
