I understand the difference. However, Brian Loe made the point in his original message that we are "free" to take photos in public. He wasn't only making a legal argument. Our actions are controlled not just by laws, but also by social convention. Clearly there are many settings where taking photos are not allowed by these social conventions. But also people are arrested for taking photos when they are asked to stop, but the charges are indirect: disorderly conduct, trespassing, etc. Richard
And therefore most generally dropped. Its no different than getting pulled over for a DUI and they throw a bunch of other charges against you - to either raise the cost of your bail or what have you. No one ever intends to prosecute you for breaking those laws (because, namely, you didn't) but they served some other purpose. You are FREE to take photos. To address another post without sending 5 individual ones: there are social and legal rules and they don't always overlap. However, we're discussing legal rules because social rules can change based on little more than longitude and latitude. The way New Yorkers get into each others' faces will get them into trouble in the south where personal space is more of a social concern. If a New Yorker were to get in the face of a sheriff in Alabama he might even get arrested for it...but not because its illegal to invade someones personal space. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
