[QUOTE="hark, post: 434170, member: 13196"] I get it. I really do. We should be able to photograph anything that is visible in public whether that be buildings, people, or small children; however, I wouldn't be all too comfortable if someone walked up to me and took my photo without first saying something (unless I was doing something unusual). And where is the [I][B]he's innocent until proven guilty[/B][/I] part? You were pegged as being guilty without reason. Yes, I understand your frustration and anger. And sure...you don't want it to come back and bite you in the arse at some point down the road. Did you request a copy of the police report (assuming they filed one). This is strictly for clarification...I didn't express myself clearly making it easy to misunderstand my comment. Yes, it sounds like I said you were [I][B]only[/B][/I] taking photos of buses, but that isn't what I meant. I know you'd be out taking photos of just about anything. What I meant was how many people take photos solely of buses without getting any people in them? Sure you and I would do that, but the majority of people seeing someone taking a photo of a school bus would become suspicious. Unfortunately our society has a lot of undesirable people in it so now anyone can be scrutinized for actions that shouldn't even be questioned. It seems the motto is now [I][B]Better Safe Than Sorry[/B][/I]. In my township, I believe the Township Manager has authority over the police or at least can scrutinize what they do. Your police must be accountable to someone or to some form of government. Perhaps that person or responsible party can assist you to find out what was reported by the police. And just today this article showed up in my news feed. Street photography in Arkansas could become illegal... :stupid: [URL="http://www.popphoto.com/news/2015/03/if-arkansas-bill-becomes-law-it-could-make-street-photography-illegal?dom=fb&src=SOC"]If This Arkansas Bill Becomes Law, It Could Make Street Photography Illegal | Popular Photography[/URL] [SIZE=4][U]EDIT[/U]: I see you posted a similar article from F-Stoppers[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
