All of the above is pretty much bang on when you talk about cops vs. non cops. <br /> <br />However, the attitude of "you can't take my picture unless I give you permission" is not quite right. Your picture is taken completely without your knowledge (or permission) every day, probably every hour if you live in a metropolitan area. Go into a convenience store- your picture is on tape. Go to a bank and make a withdrawel- or deposit. Guess what- you are on camera. And for our railroading buddies out there, I don't think anyone asked the crews of the BNSF or UP trains going through the Rochelle camera for their permission to take their pictures. <br /> <br />Surveillance photography is part of our lives, folks, so get over it or get politically active. Funny thing about it is that the photography is there to prevent (hopefully) or solve crimes...just the kind of protection most citizens want. <br /> <br />As for folks with attitudes...when on patrol, I meet hostility with silence. Given enough rope, most fools will hang themselves... and do. I don't have to encourage them... just let them do themselves in. <br /> <br />Erik <br /> <br />
