Cameras are for Criminals

Amazingly, a man in the UK recently ran into problems and was branded a pervert for taking photos of his own children playing in a park.

He said: 'I started taking photographs of them having a good time. Moments later the woman running the slide told me to stop.

'She told me I could not take pictures of other people's children. I explained that I was only interested in taking photographs of my own children and pointed out that this was taking place in a public park.

'I then showed her the photos I had taken to prove my point.

'Then another woman joined in and said her child was also on the slide and did not want me taking pictures of the youngster. I repeated that the only people being photographed were my own children.

'She then said I could be taking pictures of just any child to put on the internet and called me a pervert.

He was forced to involve two police officers, to confirm that yes, it is within his rights to take photos of his children. We live in remarkable times.
