[QUOTE="skater, post: 432922, member: 19158"] Lighter story: When we were doing our engagement pictures, we picked the DC Cherry Blossom season to do them, and managed to hit within a day or two of peak bloom. (If you've never visited the Tidal Basin/Washington Monument area of DC during Cherry Blossom bloom time, it's pretty much you and a million of your closest friends looking at trees. That said, our pictures turned out GREAT!) After we finished, we were walking back toward the Metro with our photographers when we came upon the DC police arresting someone. Our photographer ran over and grabbed some shots, probably staying 15-20 feet away at the time. The police didn't care. The pictures of the arrest came with our engagement pictures. :D I agree people not getting arrested should stay back. The last thing anyone wants is a cop thinking someone is attacking them (that rarely turns out well). Instead of making it a law, a guideline of some reasonable distance makes sense to me. [/QUOTE]
