I would really want to close the subject. The way it goes now, it looks like
a trollfest. Which wasn't my original intent.
The cops were *NOT* rude or offensive in any way, all business and nothing
personal. It seemed they just tried simply to cover their asses in case I

Hi, Treena,
You are of course, correct. Police have a job that most wouldn't want to do -
it's dangerous, and they often have to deal with the dregs of society on a
regular basis. I disagree with your assessment of their pay - they really don't
get paid all that poorly (think nurses, day-care w

Hey Bob W.,
If I was a permanent resident (not a US citizen, but with a green card
allowing me to work in the US), with deep pockets and lots of financial
resources, I might be an SOB and sue their asses making as big a stink as I
could.
If I wanted my film back and wanted to go back to the
I don't really care what your lame excuse is, if they can't seperate the real bad guys
from the Joe Blow citizen who has a minor run in with the police authorities then they
should find another line of work. It is not only a couple of rotten apples in the

Oh Bruce, we all missed you.
Suda complained of poor eyesight after his chest surgery. I think he went to
a small digital autofocus for photos of the grandkids and sold his 35mm. He
may still have his manly man's Pentax 6x7 however.

Nice to see you back.
Our laws in the US are flexible in their interpretation/enforcement.
This is especially true after 9/11 as everyone is nervous.

It makes me angry to see someone treated the way you were.
Once you were on Public Property the authorities were on very shaky ground
