| | | Fortunately, for me, it does heavily impact my "UE", because I get to move freely through many different kinds of buildings, commercial, residential, or industrial. Sometimes, they are partially abandoned, and on a few special occasions, I get to see a fully abandoned one that is ready for a demolition (but that is extremely rare). It's part of my job to look around for things in nasty places, so people tend to leave me to my own devices as I am working. Last week, I explored a tunnel system in the basement of a nightclub in Providence. It must have been a quarter mile of tunnels. Really weird, with lots of disused rooms and machinery, all put there well before the nightclub was a nightclub.
In addition to the inspections, much of my day is spent driving. As a result, I have spotted dozens of things I might want to photograph on a later date.. I just mark it on my GPS, and give it some generic name. Occasionally, I will sneak some easy photos on a lunch break if it looks safe and do-able. Everyone at work already knows I am a "photographer", and they share their enthusiasm with me about it, even though I have not actively disclosed my Flickr profile. No doubt, people could find it, if they felt like trying. I am not hell-bent on hiding my photos, because I don't see how pictures of dilapidated buildings is supposed to be incriminating, regardless of how far I went to get the photos. I suppose that if I accidentally get the police interested in my activity for taking pictures where I looked "suspicious", and a trespassing charge is put onto my record, I could say to an employer (or potential employer) that it was my hobby of photography that made me trespass. I.E. "The devil made me do it."

Not all the time. There is no guarantee ever, that you won't be caught, unless you do shitty ass locations. Police patrol 24/7. Caretakers/owners own property 24/7. Sure, you can maybe take all the appropriate measures to make sure you dont do anything to get caught, but whats to say that a caretaker won't enter his property on a Sunday morning? Or that a cop won't enter the admin building for a random patrol? Those are two things you can not ever control, no matter how much research you do on a place.
| +1. And heed Rinzler's advice. Every time I got myself into a stupid jam, it was because of something random I never could have predicted, or me drawing attention to myself. (Actually, I could have predicted one incident, but that was just me being stupid.) I have had guns drawn on me by apparent vigilantes, and extremely aggressive, free roaming dogs sent out to search for me for hours. The moral of the story is that you never know what they will send in after you, once a completely random resident spots you and calls the cops, acting like he just spotted the devil incarnate. The other problem with photographing in an area where you are not supposed to be, is the fact that actual bad shit might have happened there earlier in the day or week, now leaving YOU, the hapless and intrepid explorer, as a possible suspect/ target for law enforcement. Now it's YOU who looks like the guy they are after because there was a fire, or a break-in on Monday, or whatever.
