A few weeks back there was a thread about things people should be aware of when visiting the US. My answer was “don’t take photos of random children.” (As advice to Asian visitors). I wasn’t talking about kids being in the background but going up to them and taking photos. Most of the replies agreed, but I got quite a few “it’s totally legal. Take all the pictures you want.” Yeah, it’s legal but is it worth having this woman in your face screaming at you with 100 people watching to have a “legal” photo of some kid you don’t know? Just look at all the replies to this video suggesting violence. There were some “if they shoot me they’re going to prison” replies in the old thread too. Okay, so their in prison and you’re dead. Over a photo of a kid? Seems like not being a creep with your phone is a better solution.
