Photographer Arrested Taking Pictures Of Cheerleaders
garyrhook wrote: "Suspicious"? What does that even mean? How can an observer have any clue what body part a photographer is aiming at? Was he doing something more than taking photos?
Additionally, the guy was an idiot for allowing the officers to look at the images without a warrant. He dug his own grave.
I would have no qualms whatsoever standing and taking many photos of cheerleaders, trying to get the right shot, if that was my goal. Does that make me a bad person? Does it make me lascivious? I photograph dancers wearing less clothing. Repeatedly. Have for years.
That said...
The article is (typically) poorly written with very little information. It's not wrong, just bad reporting.
Postscript: the world is full of horrible people. How is that a surprise? And that has nothing to do with cheerleaders or football games. It just is.
Suspicious means it was a male shooting photos of scantily clad young females. Had it been a female there would have been zero suspicion. I would have shot it as well, and most likely been suspicious for doing so.
I am so tired of the rampant paranoia in this society. If these people do not want someone perving all over their daughters then they should get the events restricted as far as who is allowed. Aside from that there is not much they can do about it, except for ejecting any offnder, or supposed one. This is not even a criminal act, it is just plain stupidity all around IMO.
While I know this will not be popular in the PC crowd, it is that persons right to shoot at an event they paid to attend. I know that the Constitution, and rights are not popular when it does not fit some peoples sensibilities, or actually over sensitivities. As long as this guy only shoots photos it is not illegal. I weep at the future of this nation that people are so willing to criminalize every last aspect of life.
