In the world of spy photographers, the two best allies are a long lens and a keen understanding of the law. The fact is, many automakers develop their cars in top-secret conditions - and then drive them on public roads where lensers like our Brenda Priddy lie in wait.
A recent run-in with a crew testing the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu - yes, the Malibu , not the Impala as we’ve suggested here and here - reminded Priddy that she needs to keep her eyes open, and her lawyer on speed dial:
"Gene was on the lookout for spies. He must get paid well to babysit the cars from sunset to sunrise or whenever the engineers decide to start the testing. But, legally, all the Genes in the world can’t stop us from taking pictures in public areas. But a hand over the lens can!
