| | | I've never had an issue, but I got two letters from the Suwon City government for posting pictures of an abandoned amusement park. Oddly they were sent to the content aggregator hosting my pictures, despite the fact that my name and a link to my actual website were clearly present. This is the location: http://www.uer.ca/...ow.asp?locid=27784 And here are the letters: http://www.uer.ca/....asp?storyid=11275 Greetings, This is the web service manager of Suwon City Hall in the Republic of Korea. Suwon City Hall would like to ask you to remove the article "Ghost Rides: Abandoned Parks in South Korea (http://www.darkroa...arks-in-south.html)" posted on your website (http://www.darkroastedblend.com). After contacting the relevant government ministry, we learned that the park mentioned in the article is scheduled to be developed as a self-supporting new town with general administrative complexes and high-tech industrial sites. To start the foundation work for development, the park was closed in the winter of 2007 and enclosed with fencing* in March of 2008 to prevent trespassers and possible accidents. There is even signage warning that "Trespassers will be prosecuted."* (*totally nonexistent) At the same time, the restaurant floating on the water is currently in court for compensation matters, and will be removed after the conclusion of the lawsuit. It appears that the pictures in the article were taken around October this year. If so, it is a clear violation of our warning (prohibiting any trespassers from entering the area). Since the article and pictures give no description about the area, they can generate misunderstanding and possibly damage the image of Suwon City. Once again, we ask you to remove the article from your website. Thank you very much. =============================== Hello! The park of taken picture has been closed since 2007. 10 for our new city development. We prohibited to go inside for our safe(To notice for Keep out) Before that our citizen used the park for playing
We worry about misunderstand for the park that is danger and no managemental in pictures
So we inform for web site that is "http://www.gwanggyonewtown.or.kr" It's not in english web site but this is our future instead of this place. We will develop like this web site. Thank you!
| There is probably a big fat dossier on me in police headquarters, and if I ever get charged with a real crime, they'll probably trot out this as well as many other instances of me trespassing, getting involved with politics, making friends with political prisoners, etc.

| | | I got in trouble in 2004 , as a matter of fact I think I might have been one of the first to get in trouble for online pictures because my court appearance made it onto Ninjalicous Urbex timeline as a significant event in his book Access all areas Basically I was going into Danvers state hospital almost nightly, at the time urbex online was new and there wasn't social media, google, flicr etc etc , the cops called me and told me to stay out of danvers state, so instead I went to the old danvers high school they were renovating, when they saw my pictures there, I got a court summons in the mail I even made the papers because of it, LOL they even mentioned I was holding one of Ninj's infiltration zines in one of the pictures haha in the end I was court ordered to remove my website, continued without a finding on the breaking and entering, and charged with trespassing Story from Salem News: October 21 2004 'Urban explorer' admits trespassing at Danvers sites By Julie Manganis Staff writer SALEM — Michael Turcotte says he's simply a history buff who likes to explore old buildings he considers to be endangered. Danvers police say he's a trespasser who ignored earlier warnings to stay out of local buildings, including Danvers State Hospital and the Holten-Richmond School. Yesterday, Turcotte, 29, of Danvers, admitted to charges of breaking and entering and trespassing — charges filed after police discovered photos of Turcotte inside both buildings on a Web site called abandonedspaces.net. He was fined $160. Prosecutors believe Turcotte is part of a subculture of "urban explorers" who break into old buildings, rail tunnels and other structures and then document their visits, as Turcotte did on his now-defunct Web site. An internet search revealed several sites in the United States and Europe that report on the practice. Judge Dennis Healey was clearly puzzled by the case, however. "What was going on?" he asked Turcotte. "I take pictures of historic buildings," Turcotte explained, adding that he simply wanted to visit the Holten-Richmond School before it was renovated. He contends he did not see the no-trespass signs and a gate in the fence was open. "At the time it didn't seem like a big deal," Turcotte explained to the judge. But prosecutor Jesse Dole said that just weeks before his unauthorized visit to the school construction site, Turcotte had been given a warning by police after he was found to be in the old Danvers State Hospital. Despite that warning on April 1, Danvers police said they discovered new photos on Turcotte's site of him at the Holten- Richmond School by April 29. In one photo, he is holding a magazine called "Infiltration." Dole said the site also included Turcotte's description of the warning police had given him about staying out of buildings. That's when they filed criminal charges. Turcotte has no prior record. If he stays out of trouble for six months, the breaking-and- entering charge, the more serious of the two, will be dismissed. This is the place I got busted at http://www.dijital.../turningpoint.html And the picture mentioned in the article with Ninj's zine
