…in a public place!

“The lady concerned was entitled to her privacy and not to have a passing stranger take a photograph,” said the sheriff.

Im sorry, Sheriff Kenneth Hogg, but you sir, are a moron. She was in public, she was entitled to no privacy. If she was in the toilets, then yes, I can see a problem with taking a photo of a person there, but if the woman is out in public, why cant I photograph her? Because shes ill? Is the line drawn at photography? Am I alowed to sit there and draw it? Charcoal? Paint it? Why not just draw the line at me not looking at her – why not just cover her up with a tarp and pretend she dosent exist?

“I’m going to impose a fine to remind him chivalry is not dead and when somebody is in distress you leave them to it.”

So you are imposing a fine on him, because of your own personal belief? I cant find anything in British law that says you have to be chivalrous, so you have made up the law on the spot, and abused your power.

I wonder, if he wasnt Polish, if he was brazillian, how many bullets would he have been shot with? If he was Arab, he probably would have been branded a Terrorist, scouting locations of Ossama Bin Laden.
