I get pretty annoyed when I'm accused of doing something I didn't and I generally speak my mind regardless of the apparent position of the accuser. Maybe the guy in the video was a bit persistent but he got nothing back from the police but a string of irrational and disconnected excuses as to why he was being treated as such. In the end they didn't charge him, granted we don't know what actions he took that provoked the first semi-plod to react but it still reeks of an abuse of privilege. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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.
