A couple of weeks ago, I was followed and then halted by two police officers while walking alongside a railroad with my camera. They asked what I was doing there, what I was taking pictures of, then asked for my ID and address. When I asked them for the reason, they said that there had been burglaries in several houses in the area. And the fact that I was there with a camera made me a suspect...
I wonder, since when is wearing a camera in any way connected or linked to burglary, robbery or anything in that category..?

Fortunately, after the checkup (I must say everything happened correctly), they let me continue on my way. Still it makes you think, doesn't it..?...
