Hi Shel I prefer it the way you do it, that's common sense for me. Calling the police just because a guy walks around with a camera is a ***obvious** false alarm for me and therefore the caller should pay for the **obvious unnecessary** police operation IMHO. Somehow this paranoia has to be stopped or not?
