Regards, Sarge I've had police approach me a couple of times when my efforts at hiding weren't as successful as I had hoped. All I've had to do is remind them of their obligation to, absent any evidence of my participation in a criminal act, they're welcome to have a nice day (or night as it were). Given their subsequent departure, I assume they did. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten' |

"Paul Heslop" wrote As for TV cameras they should expect to be stopped if they are acting in a suspicious manner, just like anyone else. Ditto still press photographers a.k.a. 'Paparazzi'. I've been in the situation of having a dSLR and flash unit held against my window when I refused to answer the door to a reporter (for reasons I won't go into.) If I'd have had access to a phone (I was in my garage at the time) I would have rung the police and had them both arrested for trespass and invasion of privacy. I eventually rung their editor and told him I'd contact the Civil Liberties Union - they didn't use the pictures... Paul (B) |

One more reason I no longer have any desire to visit the USA. David I have never, in over 55 years of taking pictures, been accosted, anywhere in the US, or Canada, for taking a picture, of anything. Seems to me that 'innocent' is a matter of point of view. Perhaps the OP would enlighten us as to the particulars of those 'innocent' pictures. |
