people do have a right to complain if they are having their photographs taken. perhaps if he was learning about photography he should have understood that it is best to ask people if they want, or the shops in the street their, photographs taken. A simple request to people would have been enough. Obviously the police have been rather heavy handed here, and as for sensitive material it is understandable as some shops regards their shop front designs, shop window displays, as sensitive information (I have been requested to stop after doing a piece in a shopping centre a few years back), to rival shops or companies.

Some courtesy should have been shown by the photographer and some common sense by the police.

If they person was trying to learn about street photography then do it on a quiet street, you have more time and can get better angles without Mrs Smith or Hitler getting in your shot with her/his/it's bags of xmas stuff.

Either than, go buy yourself a telescopic lense and find a rooftop. ;)

man this is just another case of corporate bully boy tactics isn't it?

Next they will be suing all the Chinese folks for their whispers!

aaah, this device(it appears) depends on the user having their phone actually turned on. I see the vital flaw. I would get one for my girl however like her phone it would remain in the darkest regions of her bag, only to appear after 7pm and 42 missed calls and texts asking if she would like Foo Fighters tickets but must let me know now.

(p.s the foo fighters tickets are fictional, replace with your favourite band/performer)

granted it's not really that funny, kind of reminds me of teenage images of their first pot experiences.

As for the religious debate, come now I think all of your gods are nearly as right as each other.
