Donald, you have one BIG atvantage, Seattle is a Patriot Act Free zone. Local government there passed a law stating the the federally enacted Patriot Act is illegal according to the Washington State Constitution and would not be enforced in the city of Seattle. This makes a HUGE difference in the attitudes of the local police. Add to that Philadlephia police have not been known for their "people skills" historically. How many other police departments have burnt down entire city blocks? Though what you say is technically true you have to take into consideration that due to the recent hightened state of alert law enforcement is bit on edge. In California you can't photograph the Golden Gate Bridge. As if another photograph of that bridge is going to give terrorists any images not already available...
