I mean, if you have model photography as a hobby and sit on a terrace having a drink and there is a gorgious lady at the next table, you don't go taking pictures either w/o asking and risking an uppercut from the b/f.

The officers were in the defensive before we even got off out bikes, it wasn't the camera's. If the officers thought they were doing something wrong, why would they threaten to fine us with obstructing justice. That makes no sense at all. It shouldn't be against the law to document your arrest whether it be you taking a picture or someone else. Did the guy who filmed the Rodney King controversy get thrown in jail or fined?

Also if a lady is dressed nice and she knows she is hot, why wouldn't she want her picture taken. Why would you ask her boyfriend, when it isn't his body?
