That was done by BK as a result of teenagers videotaping pranks at the
drive-thru and elsewhere in the resturant and later posting the same
on Youtube. Not so much for copyright infringement but more to prevent
clownish young adults from pranking with cellphone cameras and the
like. expect the rest of the fast food eateries to follow suit. They
could care less about any arcane "technical aspects" concerning the

you're a fireman or an EMT and your ham radio HT is a "portable".

So what's to prevent me from pranking them? Just today I saw some
other backup lighs for sale, but this one with a honking big huge
monitor.

Maybe I'll get it just to p.o. Burger King.

And drive through there where they won't be able to help but notice
the picture showing them theirselves.

So hams, get out your ham video monitors, and cbers and everyone else,
get out your part 15 video monitors. It's probably going to be a real
show.

Of course after that, they probably won't let me back on their
property. But who cares? That would be worth it. I agree with the
poster who said
Wendy's makes better hamburgers.

They

I was originally going to agree with you. but then I thought no they
probably won't think that. After all, the idiots already thought that
my Icom IC-R3
RADIO WAS A CAMERA that I WAS taking pictures with!!!!

They "seen" me "taking pictures" with it.

I still wonder how since that radio does NOT take pictures.

And since I was NOT taking pictures with it.

Not even acting like I was. Just sitting there listening to it.

Yet plenty of other people use radios in there without any problems
that I know of.

Who knows what boneheaded ideas they would think or come up with about
safety lights?

they might think I'm a fireman or emt like you said. However, after
them seeing me take pictures with a RADIO that does NOT take pictures,
I very much doubt that they are that smart.

Firemen and emt probably won't even cross their mind.

It will probably more than likely be some boneheaded idea that sane
people never thought of.

And if the honking big huge monitor showing them theirselves doesn't
get them P.O.ed, it will probably at least freak them out.

Especially if they can't find the transmitting camera anywhere.

After all, they must not be vey smart since they thought a RADIO WAS A
CAMERA.

And if any hams or cbers or anyone else records it,

Then we'll all have another "Whopper Freakout" video to post on you
tube.

hahahahahahahaha.

A better prank just thought of.

Go next door off of BK prroperty, and videorecord them from inside the
building next door or from outside the building next door.

After all, you won't be on BK property while doing it so you can
videorecord if it's your house or the house of a friend of yours.

Then drive through there with a car without saafety lights installed,
but a video of what you recorded of them earlier.

They'll probably really freak out. You won't get a video of them
freaking out this way, but they also WON'T find a camera ANYWHERE in
this case.

No matter how hard they try.

Ooopsss! Never mind.

this idea won't work. The problem with this idea is that

they will think and say that your am/fm car radio IS a camera. And
they seen you taking pictures with it.

Or that your ham radio IS a camera. And they seen you take pictures
with it.

Or that your CB radio IS a camera. And they seen you taking pictures
with it.

If it's a radio, then it IS a camera as far as BK is concerned.

Just like they already told me that my radio IS a camera.

that they seen me "taking pictures with"

Ha!!!

Is is so important that you go to Burger King? Aren't there other junk
food places in your town?

Is is so important that you go to Burger King?

No. But as I sid, there are very serious legal implications to it,
eeven if you don't go there. Such as if you're in a car accident
through no fault of your own and your car just happens to land on BK
property.

Aren't there other junk
food places in your town?-

Yes. But they're all closed due to road construction.

They even have signs up on those restaurants saying that the
restaurants are curently closed due to road construction.

The road construction there has been going on there for a few years
now, and the finished parts of the road are now worse than before they
began!!!

The road didn't need any road construction at all. Until after they
decided and started doing it.

Okay, they're not all closed.

Some are.

Next time you got to BK, be sure and get this.

The more you incoherently prattle on, the more sympathy I have for BK's
position. I'm not sure I'd want you on my property either (with or without a
camera, "backup lights", or whatever).
