I should also say that I've never had a problem with a camera, though I wouldn't like to push my luck too far in this country

NFL game and a private party in a box at a sports stadium.....apparently the topless drunk girl dancing on the counter didnt want me to take a photo of her.

in the shopping mall under Canary Wharf, just ask anyone at the last London meetup, the dozy security guard almost had my 1D + 12-24 rammed down his throat

That guard was only little! Ben (Scura) was still taking photos whilst the guy was talking! :hail:

I think I may have a photo of tha guard actually!

Playing poker in a bar late one night in an eastern European country when the boss decided that everyone had to put their guns on another table where he could see them and I had to put my camera there as well.

The organisers of the uni games tried to kick me out for photographing the women's volleyball championship today thinking I was some kind of pervert. Fortunately a very vocal player ran off the field mid game to say "oh f*** off he's ours and we invited him here to take photos".

The entire place heard it so by the end of the day I had all sorts of strangers asking me to photograph their games .

I also got kicked off "private property" at a Sydney harbour while photographing a docked boat from the service entrance. Mr RentACop looked kind of flabbergasted when instead of leaning on their fence I decided to take 3 steps back onto the road (public property), setup a tripod and get the exact same shot.

It actually went to trial. (Nobody on my side of the ledger thought it would but the police were insistent.) I was found "innocent" and the Anaheim Police dropped the charges against the AP guy (the dude in the photos). Anaheim Police were considered pretty much in the same light as ****s back then.

I and the paper could have sued ... but dropped any further litigation in favor of chatting with the Chief and getting him to pull in the dogs.

About a month or so later one of our reporters was investigating a story which was quite bad for the Anaheim Police and received eight traffic tickets in one city block.

Should have went for the money.
