Why don't they just take a photo?
Maybe they are at least being consistent in their paranoia.
For myself, if someone told me I couldn't take a picture in a
public place,
and then they took a picture of me in that same public place,
I would treat
the picture taker as someone committing an assualt on me, and
would defend
myself accordingly.
I wonder why a non-photographic record of "the appearance, attire and car
registration numbers" has a different status to a photographic record of the
same things.
Is it ok to make non-photographic records of the kiddies surfing? Could I
make a sculpture, perhaps like this one of a 17-year old boy, but with added
surfboard:

If so, I wonder why photographs are singled out for opprobrium.
