RE: list of permits required etc. Re: National Parks & Tripods

Folks,

You can add to your list all of the parks in the city of Chicago.
Especially the lake front ones.
The theory in the cops mind is big camera plus tripod plus group of people
equals commercial therefore permit.
I found that big camera plus tripod with only photographer with no other
person means private.
A lesson from bitter experience and court costs.

I have a followup on my URL for places where permits are required:

I am also distressed that so many places are now requiring paperwork and 
charging fees (up to $5,000 US for permission to shoot and use photos)...
