Personally I would not dream of reporting someone for using a camera.  What an amazing waste of police resourses and court time, but certainly makes for a good read here!

If it were you in this situation, how would you have reacted to someone taking a photo of you? Of course everyone is different, and would react differently to any given situation, however, I must say that I totally understand why she did what she did.

Some people need to realise that owning a camera doesn't give them the right to use it in every situation, and i'm rather puzzled why some of the good people here are automatically supporting the photographer. I personally think he was wrong to do what he did, and reading the news, he sounds like he regretted it afterwards anyway.... good for him.
