Fake photography license for fake no-photos laws - Boing Boing


All around the world, cops and rent-a-cops are vigorously enforcing nonexistent anti-terrorist bans on photography in public places. If you're worried about being busted under an imaginary law, why not download these templates and print yourself an imaginary "Photography license" from the DHS? Who knows if it's legal to carry one of these -- probably about as legal as taking away your camera and erasing your memory card for snapping a pic on the subway.
In the event you're stopped by overzealous law enforcement or security officials attempting to enforce fictitious laws, I've designed these fictitious and official-looking Photographer's Licenses. If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can download the EPS vector art file and print your own. You'll need a photo of yourself, and OCR (or a similar font) to fill in your personal information.

Peter Arnell Owes HarperCollins $100,000

The deal was initially worth $550k, but he took $100k up front to, you know, get things going. Then he hired a ghost writer, fired that person, and then another ghost writer who was also fired before deciding that he'd just do it already with the help of his wife and assistant. But when he handed in his homework it was a few thousand words short (only 25,000 of the 80,000 agreed to) and bla bla now HC wants their moneys back.
