Photographers, filmmakers, local residents, and tourists face

location

policy.

I love the “Ad Hoc Task Force Against Really Bad Ideas Rules and Regulations.” Of course, the name is somewhat redundant, as I’ve yet to come across the Really Good Rules and Regulations, at least in the public sector.
