I dont understand the mindset either. Perhaps its a reaction to the tendency of today's media to sensationalize everything. You know, the typical story of a child that gets abducted, was last seen playing in the playground with other kids. And the media focuses attention on why no one stopped the stranger with a camera that was seen lurking around earlier. This on-air mock trial and conviction sticks in people's minds and the presumption of innocence is gone the next time someone with a camera is seen anywhere near a playground/school.
You may not understand it, but judging from a few of your recent comments, you agree with it, to the point of defending a law that pretty much makes it a crime to point a camera at the wrong person.
