Thanks!

 

[highpeak]

I plan to go buy some film tomorrow, good timing! Thanks, Steve

 

[film_guy]

Why does Kodak always neglect us north of the border? Same thing happened with the free Portra film offer.

 

[PatTrent]

Yes, thanks. I need some more TRI-X anyway, so this is great.

 

[Mike Kennedy]

Ditto Film_Guy.
The great yellow father forgets that he has children in the "True north".
Shot more Ilford.

I'm not sure - but I don't think that K can offer a cross-border cash rebate.

 

[Jim Noel]

Don't worry about Canada being neglected, they also choose to neglect LF film users. Maybe it is because LF sheet films sales were up and they think they have us locked up. Not so!

 

[Sirius Glass]

To our friends up North:

Hop in your car, visit us, use one of our addresses, send in the paperwork, then when the check arrives, shoot some film with us!

Some of us Canucks may not be close enough to the border, or may have work or other commmitments that preclude making a quick trip. It's not top of my list when making holiday plans. I haven't been in the US since '96. Sly

I don't cross the 49th parallel. Go north/east/west for my photos. Ain't worth the hassle.

Yeah, well, New Jersey. My sister was involved in an accident on the NJ Turnpike and was told she was not allowed to take pictures of it (which alot of insurance companies want you to do). I forget what rediculous reason they gave for the policy.

John,

I know insurance companies want pictures of the damage. But I've never heard of one wanting pictures taken by the insured at the accident scene. If there is a question of liability/culpability, or if a fatality is involved, it is the responsibility of the police to gather the evidence. They prefer to do so without the interference of other parties.

 

[John Curran]

Many insurance companies offer advice and even emergency kits to keep in your car and instructions on what to do in case you have an accident. These kits often include an inexpensive insta-matic type camera for taking pictures. These are desired irregardless of what images the police may come up with. The bigger question here is, what right does the state of New Jersey have to tell someone that they cannot take a photograph of something that occurred in public view?

In 40 years of driving - my insurance company has never offered me one of these photo kits. I''m about to renew my auto insurance (Met Home Life Auto) - maybe I'll ask them to send me a D-200. You know, just in case....

The bigger question is - what right does an individual have to interfere with law enforcement going about their sworn duty to protect the public?

The NJ Turnpike is one of the most heavily traveled thoroughfares on the planet. Do you really think that the NJ State Police should allow someone to wander around and shoot accident pictures? Endangering herself and others in the process of doing so?

Get real! Law enforcement was on the scene of the accident on a public highway. YES - they are in charge.

If you do things otherwise in CA (which I doubt) then perhaps it is best you remain within the confines of your jurisdiction since I think you will find the rest of the world doesn't follow the same libertarian methods of law enforcement.

Just because your insurance company doesn't offer these kits doesn't mean they don't exist. But you can still ask them for a D-200.

Who's wandering around? You have to remain at the scene anyway.

I'll go where I please thank you. Libertarian methods of law enforcement???

....?

Oh, so you can wander around the shoulder and into lanes of high-speed traffic on a twelve lane highway. Figuring that the police should stop all of that traffic so YOU can take your pictures?

Traffic accidents are commonplace - the last thing anyone else needs on the highway is someone wandering around taking pictures for their insurance company.

In fact, I'd bet dollars to donuts that most insurance companies would frown on any their insured wandering around an accident scene taking pictures. If you've survived the accident - the last thing the insurance company wants is potential liability because you then got "creamed" by on-coming traffic while taking pictures for them!

Simple story: the police arrive at scene of traffic accident on public thoroughfare. By law, they are in charge. You do as they tell you or you get arrested for interference with law enforcement. What is so hard to understand?

No one said anything about wandering into lanes of traffic, you could shoot from the shoulder.

I have in my hands a kit that my wife recieved from her insurer, 21st Century Insurance. In the kit are a pen, a small flashlight, a measuring tape, a small plastic whistle? a AA battery, and a disposable 35mm camera. In addition is a printed card entitled 'What to do if you're involved in an accident'

1.) Stay calm, don't leave the scene

2.) Call police

3.) Don't assume fault or liability

4.) Ask witnesses to remain on scene.

5.) Complete enclosed accident report

6.) If you hit an unoccupied vehicle, leave your name and phone #

7.) TAKE PICTURES

8.) Call your insurance company

So I think I'll take that bet, in dollars if you don't mind

Did I miss something here?

That was probably from the previous rebate. I got mine last week which is why I went looking for a new rebates.

Thank you, Steve, so much! Consider I don't yet know what B&W film will be required in my class, beginning on the 20th of August--this rebate may help!
