Magic Flute Fine Art Nudes: Conversation with an American Cop (NSFW)

[archerships]

SH: “What do you mean, ‘shock and awe’?”

Bob: “I’ll call for reinforcements. An additional one, two, three or even four squad cars will all descend on the guy, and as many or more cops will surround him all telling him to identify himself and tell us why he’s taking the photos. If we intimidate him, he may tell. If he becomes angry and objects violently, we can arrest him for disorderly conduct and get his ID that way. If he stays cool and does not give us grounds to arrest him, then there’s little to do, but we’ve made our point. Do you think he’ll photograph a high-value target again?

Infuriating.

Seems like a good way to get sued for violation of civil rights.

Standard operating procedure. It is nice to see the cop perspective, however, especially the equally inaccurate opinion that security guards shouldn't be doing our jobs.

I can walk up to you and ask you not to take a photo of something. You can laugh and take another photo, then a photo of me, then laugh and point and post your photos on flickr.

Please do.
