And a clear example of this is Romanian jouurnalist Stefan Cândea’s initiative to take pictures of documents from the Foreign Agent Registration Act Unit’s public records office, instead of paying 50 cents per copy. As the regulations didn’t forbid taking pictures, he could have his own free copies in just two days.
Here is the story:
„It was just sort of an instinct, sort of a protest,” said Candea, who was in the United States for a 10-day program at the University of Georgia.
Philip Martin, the intern, approached a staffer to ask a question. „She was frozen in her tracks, looking at Stefan,” Martin said. „She said: ‘He’s taking pictures. I don’t think he can do that.’ ”
Martin asked whether a rule prohibited the practice. The Justice Department employees checked and couldn’t find one. The pair returned to the office the next day and began taking more pictures.
The whole story at the Washington Post.
