I am never handing my film to any cop

I didn't so far, but they will take it and you will be beaten in a process if they are willing to do that. Will they take it from you with force or you give to them is just technicality, point is you will be witout film :smile:

Ok, maybe not everywhere, but there are places where human rights and laws are not fully implemented you know :smile:

They will have to beat it out of me.
I stand firm for my beliefs in freedom and expression.
I am also a journalist with credentials.
If they want a fight, they will get it.

Ari, only one word for you:

Respect!

I tried to make joke previously, but never the less, I repeat: Respect!

I am sorry Haris, I knew you were only half serious there, but today I wrote about the Pulitzer prizes and the winning photograph of Reuters of the killed Japanese journalist during the demonstrations in Burma. I am also always aware of the risks involved in photographing next to the police, who often don't shy away from showing their disrespect for journalists. My recurring nightmare is the police attacking me, busting my camera, me fighting them off with a monopod and getting really beaten up in the process. Often I think I should just lock myself in my home and just take pictures in the studio, but I have to stay true to myself and my beliefs.

Respect, not to me, for I am a sissy talking big, not having my life threatened yet,
respect to all those brave men and women,
who risk their lives fighting for justice, freedom of expression and democracy,
armed not with deadly weapons, but the true tools of freedom: their cameras and their minds.
Respect to those who risk their lives for a single photograph, for those who risk beatings,
imprisonment, torture, their family's health, their careers and their beloved cameras.
Just for a photograph.
Respect to him:

Adrees Latif won for "his dramatic photograph of the Japanese videographer, sprawled on the pavement, fatally wounded during a street demonstration in Myanmar," the Pulitzer Prize board said.

Jason: I had the same idea, but thought of not posting it for the public to see.

Kind of makes me re-think taking a camera to the UK on holiday unless it's a Canonet. Thankfully Canada has not gone that loopy when it comes to taking pictures in public.

We are trapped by a culture of fear.

FWIW, I truly believe that this is an artifact of Quebec Civil law, and that if someone tries this claim outside Quebec, they will lose in court.

I trully (used to) believe that every member of certain species take care of other members of same species, if nothing then to help that species to progess. Then I getting to know (us) humans...
