That's just it. We take such incidents personally as photographers -- who are these people harassing innocent photographers?! -- but I suspect such confrontations are happening quite often to the casual bystander with a camera phone who might just point it in the wrong direction at the wrong time. They might post about it to their friends on Facebook who offer sympathy or support, but it doesn't go as far being a discussion about photographers' rights or photography in the 21st century.What's so weird is that with all the folks snapping away on their phones, you'd think it'd be accepted that you have no privacy in public. It's merely convenient to the lunatics out there, that our larger cameras aren't as inconspicuous as phones are.

It may be caused by the socialistic travel programm "Power by Joy" where people could travel via a subsidized state agency. However trips abroad by this organisation were refrained to cruise-ship tours. (Not well suited for spying.) For the rest the financial situation for the great majority of Germans did not allow them to go abroad.
In single cases individual persons sure reported their findings to authorities.
