well, from the article, it sounds like the guy who was arrested was taking some indecent pictures. IF that's the case, then i'm glad he was arrested! i've been stopped in the mall and a couple of stores. i was just taking pictures of flowers. once i was really given a hard time at a bookstore. i was just takin' pictures of reflections in the window, some feathers, pictures of their bathroom, etc. the guy was really questioning me as to my motives. i OFFERRED to let him look at all of my images on my cam because he kept going on and on about copyright infringement. i told him there wasn't a copyright on anything i was shooting pictures of...and there wasn't. he chastised me for not asking for permission to take pictures first. Well, i learned my lesson about bringing my cam into private businesses. anyway, now i don't bring my camera in stores or the mall. well, i take it in the camera store but that's it. anytime i ask, they tell me i can't take pictures. oh, and get this...a few weeks ago kemal and i were out walking. we saw the florist we buy our flowers at and wanted to go inside, but they were closed. they had some hanging baskets outside and we were taking pictures of them. Someone came out of the store, looked at us suspiciously, and asked, "Can i help you?" We just told her we were out walking in the neighborhood and wanted to buy some flowers but they were closed. i told her we were just enjoying the beautiful flowers they had and were taking some pictures on our walk. I said, "I hope that's ok" and flashed a smile at her. she said it was fine and then went inside and locked the door behind her. we left shortly after that and walked up to the funeral home and started taking pictures of it! no one came out after us though! LOL! :)
