First amendment rights continue to be taken away, as shown in a recent article. The U.S. Forest Service recently came up with the idea that anyone who takes a picture in America's national parks must pay a fine of $1,500. This is just absurd because professional photographers already have thousands of dollars worth of equipment, it would apply to camera crews for the news, and even people that can take pictures with their cell phones. Needless to say, the people did not react well to this, and the USFS continues to try to adjust their policy to make it possible. This goes against the first amendment because being able to photograph the natural things in the country should be freedom of expression, and putting a fine on that is just not right.
