Commercial photography which rightly should require a permit is easy to id.

First clue, there is an equipment van. Second clue, there are 2 to 30 people involved. Third clue is huge relectors and light blocking panals. 4th.. Props and prop wranglers. Then there are all the talent hanging about. Etc, etc, etc.

In other words major disruption of normal activites in the area.

Unfortunately, many cop types seem to think it means someone using a tripod.

The St. Louis arch, I believe, is part of a national park. Commercial photography on NPS land requires a permit.
