We walked down to the sheriff deputies and talked to them and they didn't seem to know 100% the exact rule but the metrolink guy was telling them it was not allowed so they basically said that I could be arrested for trespassing if I took a photo on the platform. I told them all about the Photographer's Rights Rally that occured earlier in the afternoon but they still maintained it was not allowed. Not in the mood to get detained I took down the name of the Metrolink employee and went on taking pictures elsewhere. So what exactly is the "rule" in regards to photography on the train platforms? I don't think it is "illegal" but is the company allowed to ask you to leave? thanks, evan mcquaid bedford Shawn,
