I make a point of taking pics of my niece in the park. and if anyone says anything I just swear at them and tell them to go away before I do smomething silly.

we're all being driven mad in this day and age, and I fear that it's only me that's going to pull through at the end of it all.
That's the second sensible post by Gary in as many months. Something is seriously wrong. :D

There will be nine signs of the Apocalypse, as foretold by the great seers:
  • Plague will reach out to the four corners of the compass, no creature shall walk untouched.
  • Famine comes three times to the land; once to the west, then to the east, then once more to the west. The hungry shall fall upon each other and Death will stalk amongst them.
  • The Empire shall break asunder, as the dynasty is betrayed, the line of father to son forgotten. Vampires will haunt the twilight hours, as the Badlands reaches out with twisted hand.
  • Two suns will glow in the sky, afresh blood red, lighting up the night.
  • Ancient horrors return again, wreaking their revenge on those who caged them. From the other realms, Demonic and Fae, hordes will spill, creatures not seen nor dreamed.
  • The Stars shall vanish from the sky, until only inky blackness remains to engulf the World.
  • The dead shall rise up and walk the earth, and the living shall walk amongst them.
  • In the darkest hours, even the earth will open up and swallow back what it spawned.
  • Gary L will post sensibly at least two times in that many months.
Thus say the followers of Yahkmot.
It's the End Of Days!!!!!:shocked:

I'm feeling ok though, so it can't be that bad.

but seriously if they didn't lift the ban and everyone and their daughters and sons were to go in there and take photos, it would make a mockery of all this stupid taking photos of 'children' thing. that's all it is. either 'terrorism' or 'paedophiles'

and we feel guilty over it because society makes us feel guilty. we allow society to make us feel guilty.
if you're not a paedo or a terrorist then why are you scared to take your camera out? because you're a sheep?
what's the worst that can happen. you get a marker for having the police being called out because you don't tow the line of paranoia?

tell them to get stuffed before it's all too late. go out there and take pics galore. be a man for once in your pathetic little life! :)

Careful now. There's a limit to the amount of sensibleness I can take from you :)

Derek said earlier that the man had made some comments that sounded like his understanding of law was English rather than Scottish. He speculated that the man might have been Googling to get himself some legal understanding, but ended up reading English rather than Scottish legal pages. I suggested that, instead, given the man's accent, it might simply be that he is English.

Do try to keep up. ;)

Says the scouser.... Admittedly, Liverpool is a lot nearer Scotland than the south of England, but it's still south of the border..

They aren't public property, they are however most definitely public places.

There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a shopping mall, ergo photography is not illegal.

"The staff thought the man had also been taking photographs of them and they alerted one of the centre's security staff."

I'm not sure why there's been a discussion about taking photos of your child in public. Perhaps I'm going mad.

Another 'Chinese Whispers' thread.;)

I doubt we will ever really know the 'truth' of the matter.:rolleyes:

Possibly because the content of the photos was established very quickly and yet the man was still subjected to a talking-to by an officious security guard and the police.

Things have taken a sinister twist:

If proven to be false that member of staff ought to be sued AND prosecuted.

So if you walk around with your flies undone you are automatically assumed to some sort of sexual miscreant?

A member of staff at the centre's ice cream stall is said to have told officers that Mr White took photographs of her with his trouser zip open.

I'm a bit confused, pictures of his daughter or of the member of staff? the quote is ambiguous
