I got my negatives back from the FBI

Over the weekend, I got my negatives back from the FBI. He said that I was good to go.

I told him that some people were critical of me for just handing over the negatives. His answer was…If you said no, then he would have gotten suspicious & brought me in for questioning & the inferance was that my day would not have been so pleasant. …But because I was so forth comming & cooperative he believed my story. It was Amtrak police that wanted to see the negative & he was complying with their request.

He did tell me on his own that if I got pick up again to have them call him.

PS We met out side the Amtrak Station Mattoon Ill (ICRR Depot that I trying to help renovate). I showed him around inside & he left. He was not gone 5 minutes when 3 teenage boys walked by on the platform carrying a BB rifle. They were “taking pot shots at the pigoens”, I called 911. Its a bit scary to look out a window & see someone aim a rifle at the building your standing in. The police came & called them by name & took them home. No damage to the depot. It would have scared the **** out of them if an FBI Agent with gun drawn told them “DROP IT & GET DOWN ON THE GROUND”

Glad it worked out OK for you.

It could have quickly turned into a sucky situation…

It would have been hilarious If you shot it on Kodachrome, then they’d have to wait weeks for it to develop.

Next time shoot glass plate negatives :smiley:

I might have to shoot with my digital and “loose” the SD card if I get approached…

LOL

man…what a shame that would be…[;)][:D]

so post the pictures

Yes, please!

Matton that isn’t very far from where i live i might have to come and see this station.

Glad you didn’t get in any real trouble.
So those guys were well known?
