		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, the situation truly is getting stupid. If you follow the various photography journals, mags and stuff you&#039;ll appreciate just how frequently perfectly innocent photographers have run-ins either with the cops (or the wannabe cops, the cpso&#039;s) or sundry private security personnel. Whilst at the same time our own privacy and freedom of movement is being encroached upon by the proliferation of CCTV in virtually every public space of any significant size.

As regards taking pics of kids, well, that&#039;s just become a complete no-no.

So insidious has this campaign against photographers become that, in my own case, I so often catch myself simply pointing my camera to the ground whenever kids appear in my vicinity. Even though taking pics of them may have been the furthest thing from my mind!
That I should have unconsciously slipped into such a mindset appalls and disgusts me, and I resent the State, the mainstream media, ordinary stupid paranoid joe public in fact, for having infected me in such manner. Even more than that though, I resent myself for inadvertently sanctioning as it were this utter utter craziness.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, thanks for this Mike,

Have heard a few stories of this nature and always find it rediculous how the authorities seem to be so paranoid about people doign anything these days.

School&#039;s are a hotbed for this issue, try taking pictures at school plays etc! it seems that people don&#039;t want photo&#039;s taken at a school function just in case the pictures fall into the hadns of paedophiles and this alerts the afore mentioned paedophiles to the fact that there are childrne at the school!

it is also an irony that the authorities use &#039;Personal Privacy&#039; as an issue when they allow a huge multi national organisation (Google) to send cars into every street in this country filming indescriminantly, everything that goes on, then puting it on the web for the whole world to see!]]></description>
