I think I disagree. Someone in the neighborhood was scared or concerned. While I think it's a bit overreractive to call the cops just because some old fart is taking pictures, it may be better that the police do check things out rather than ignore them. What was the officer to do - tell the person who called that they're overreacting and not worry about it?
