thank you for your response... now that i look at it your way, i tend to agree with you. although i also agree that it's not the way the US tends to look at the situation.
either way, my main comment was that it should be perfectly fine to photograph police... i don't really see a valid arguement for why it's illegal to do so...
how could you say "Who does he think he is?" when you're talking about the President of the United States of America!!! even IF you consider him an idiot, even IF you have your hesitations about his direction for our country, he IS still our president, THAT is WHO he is!!! i think if the President needs to close down a road or two to ensure his safety when driving aroudn the country he is perfectly welcome...
i actually find it rather disgusting that you'd say something like "Who the fuck is he to do such a thing". we, as Americans, should be more focused on the safety of our President than an extra 20 minutes commuting to work in the morning!
With that all beign said, back to the ORIGINAL arguement which was about police photography. I think this is ridiculous and needs to be fixed. if i choose to use my camera to create another "checks and balances" measure on our public servants then i should very well be able to... even more, i think all citizens should be ENCOURAGED to do so.
