The Cop Gang's Back

Potential-Civil Litigation Police

 

I went out to shoot some street today and downtown was too full of cops so I ventured off to other parts of town.

 

I ended up on Cook St and was capturing street scenes when I discovered Ken (Santa Claus). Ken is a street person and welcomed my photos since he knew of the project I am shooting for the local street Preacher, Rev. Al Tysick.

 

It didn't take long for the police to show up. A couple cops showed first with back-up on their heels. They immediately asked for my identification and proceeded with questions.

 

It turns out that they were investigating a serious crime. It appears that there may be a chance that I might publish a photograph without the permission of someone caught in the street scene.

 

So our public servants were investigating a possible civil litigation - not a crime.

 

I was lectured and I was told that if I intend to keep shooting street photography - they will continue to investigate me.

 

This is getting ridiculous.
