[QUOTE="Jack Arnott, post: 40508, member: 304"] Re: More on the Gibson story JR, Once I was flying my photographic balloon over a crowd at a concert to get pictures, and two (drunk &?) hippies came over to me to ask me if I was measuring the CO2 that the dancing/moshing crowd was giving off. ;-) It seems that the intent and the reality of a lot of laws is never examined fully. In two separate states this year there were laws proposed that would make it illegal to photograph farms. Of course the intent was to stop PETA from documenting bad treatment towards animals, but the reality was that if you took a picture of a sunset, with farm land in it, or if your children took a picture of each other with cell phones in the back seat, and there was a farm or ranch anywhere in the picture, it would have been a felony. In both cases the persons who wrote the laws were questioned on this, and responded that they didn't think there would be any reason to bring charges in cases like these. But of course the possibility existed. Regards, Jack [/QUOTE]
