I ouce took photos of kids hanging around and was threatened by one of the
parents for taking them, I asked the police later and taking photos of
children without parental consent is a very grey area

But there is a big difference between taking photos of kids who are just
hanging aroun and taking photos of someone who is commiting an offence.

never
saw him again. Was always worried about the picture. Shame he didn't
know
there wasn't any film in the camera anyway!
