Like many on this list, and like the photog in the article, I take my camera everywhere, including the mall (which thankfully I don't go to very often). Sounds like an over-zealous officer. My guess is that Rensburger will be successful in defending the charges (if they even come to court - wouldn't surprise me if the prosecutor withdraws them before any trial happens). One of the many things that pisses me off about this is that those with "real" cameras aren't what security and cops should concern themselves with - it's cellphone cameras that they ought to worry about. They're everywhere, and I see people using them all the time in places where I know that I with my Pentax would be asked to put the camera down. 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.
