Nilla... I know about the secutrity things in the USA. We are not like this here in Canada.Sure we have a tiny bit more heightened security at our borders,but withing our cities.I also do work for the schoolboard and have even had my camera in the school taking pictures of walls we worked on. My grandfather was also the superintendant of all the schools here back when. Does this mean I cannot shoot nice scenery.How about at a park near where children may play.The mountains where children may ski. Where does it stop. What if I was a real estate person shooting the house near a school.Or the view from a house. My house is within 2 blocks of 2 schools.Can I not shoot in my yard. It is only a criminal mind that would do injustice to all of this. For me I do not even think of it that way. Do I have to be afraid to take my neices and nephews. out for a nice day trip.Do I have stop taking pictures of my family. This is why I took a stand and said to the cop " I will take a good shot no matter where I am. I am all for the protection of kids.For that matter anyone.Elderly people too. But some officers take their enforcement to levels above required. There have been many pfficers of late being charged with violence agaionst citizens here.Righ tdown to driving them to a remote area and beating them badly. Well as of today it is over and there is no real file on it. It was only a call out to inquire. I sure will find out on my next security check, as I get them often in the owrk I do.
