Commerce Place
It's been almost two years since my last run-in with a security guard, so I guess my track record isn't as bad as it may have been for some people.
"You can’t take pictures here," said the security guard, attempting to look slightly imposing and official. "That's OK, I’ll just step back to the sidewalk then," I replied knowingly. To which he retorted, "It’s illegal to take photos of a bank."
Having gotten the shot I wanted, I simply laughed to myself and continued on my way home.
I mean, seriously, come on. Some of us have done our part to enlighten ourselves on the laws and rights of a photographer in Canada. Why can't the people training the security guards do the same?
