Stopped from taking a photo? You've been blinted

Urban Dictionary: blint
"To have a photographer arrested, removed or otherwise stopped from legally practicing his art by an arrogant jerk who doesn't understand (or refuses to understand) that photography is not a crime. Named for Simon Blint, director of visitor services at the San Francisco Museum of Art, who threw photographer Thomas Hawk out of an area in the museum where photography was allowed.
Man, I tried to get a picture of that building, but the rent-a-thug blinted me, and I had to spend a night at the police station."


Thanks to Thomas Hawk for the link, example and definition.
