I don't blame you for leaving and not confronting the Mall Cop. The downside of being arrested (even if no charges are laid) kind of sucks. And, as we've heard earlier in this thread (and in other stories), even if the "real" police realize that taking pix of kiddies is quite legal, if you argue with them, some police are quick to lay the ubiquitous "obstruct justice", "assault officer" or "resist arrest" charges. Those are an officers best friend. Still, taking photos of children is quite legal, even if those children aren't yours. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
