Well, it's easier, more rewarding, and more publicly visible to hassle a photographer shooting (pictures) out in the open, than it is to catch a better disguised threat to society.
The trouble, of course, began with digital: now that these cameras are able to make pictures through walls, through clothing etc. photography has become not just a public nuisance and threat to propriety, but an even more serious challenge to the continuation of our enjoyment of our calm, litter and drug-freed streets and pleasant city ambience.
Even here, in LuLa, there are those trying to subvert the safety of the status quo: I swear that I have seen many images of buildings, often with glass fronts! that offer double threats to the security of those within, not to mention those passing innocently beneath should explosions occur or shots ring out.
Where do I ring to complain, and to whom?
