#5 "According to the FBI, the tape in the camera shows the cables and upper supports of the main section of the bridge and zooms in on bridge joints." Just a home movie, folks. We take photos like this all the time. The kids love 'em.

"The tape also shows the Elbarasse family packing for vacation and on vacation." Duh, duh, duh . . . do ya' think they were tryin' to create a "disguise" or somethin'?

"Authorities said officers saw the wife try to hide the camera as officers approached." She wanted her kids to be the FIRST to see the home movie.

#6 I am not one to defend this creep but recently my wife and I drove up to Malmo, Sweden from Antwerp and she (being an architect-designer) wanted to take close up pics of the Oresund Crossing cable stay bridge from the car - which we did. I can attest she or I have no interest whatsoever in this other than the aesthetic. Any fifth-rate lawyer will have these charges dismissed in an hour.

#7 the camera shows the cables and upper supports of the main section of the bridge and zooms in on bridge joints."

well, like dont you know the bridge joints are the prettiest parts of the bridge?? Not the whole bridge from a distance, with the seagulls and the eastern shore in the background - no, a closeup on the JOINTS. Which would look nice and abstract in a real arty black and white still photo I guess, no?? So taking a VIDEO of them is an attempt to push the frontier of post modern art I think, an attempt to show the fine lines of the bridge joints and then, by moving the camera, manipulate them into surprising and moving images, with a deep expressionist subtext.

Or maybe not. In any case, Im glad i dont have any more plans to head to the shore this summer.

#8 Jack, I'd agree but considering his terrorist connections and the fact that she was zooming in on bridge joints, I don't think it will be as easy as you say.

According to the FBI, the tape in the camera shows the cables and upper supports of the main section of the bridge and zooms in on bridge joints.

Stanley L. Cohen has been representing accused Islamic terrorists for over a decade. A think this is what they call a niche market.

Probably an aspiring engineer.

#12 Does anybody want to comment what might happen if "regular citizens" got a hold of these two?
