Shopping centers are not public places ,If the center in question has signs saying no photography then that is how it is ,they probably have signs saying no bikes or skateboards as well .Whatever the reasoning behind the camera ban (and it does seem a bit OTT to me) shoppers have to abide by it .How did the ice cream vendor know it was a father and daughter? ,how did the police ?they were just doing their job ,and we would vilify them if they didn't do it properly and a child was abducted or put on a peodo site because it was ignored .It could quite easily have turned out to be a case of abduction ,maybe if someone had paid a bit more attention then half the kids that are missing wouldn't be missing

It is a sad indictment of the world we live in that people are suspicious of a man and a little girl but it is the world we live in .And i have no doubt that the father was being a absolute twonk to the security staff
