If, "The nature of the pictures Vogel took violated state law", then the
state law must have been violated by the people who were displaying
whatever
it was that he was taking pictures of. IOW, if you are showing something
in
public that taking pictures of constitutes a violation of state law, then
you must be in violation of the law by displaying it in public.


The bottom line is that pics like this are OK:

There is an old adage in photography that says "zoom with your feet."
This means that you should get close enough to "fill the frame" with
your subject. This will certainly give you better photographs, but
could also get you 3-5 in Texas.

Yeah. Why don't they just outlaw long lenses? That way, you would have to
get within a few feet of your subject in order to photograph him or
her......

I expect because they aren't going after photographers just for being
photographers.
