This quote is from the new Big Island Police Chief…
“…When police arrived, the blogger took a “close-up photo” of Officer Jennifer Lee…”
So we are allowed to take pictures of Police Officers… Just not “Close-ups”?
I don’t understand. My camera was on Zoom from taking a close up of another picture already. I was at least 30-50 feet away from the officer when I took the picture of her getting out of her car?
Is using a zoom on your camera now considered “rude”?
Anyone that views the picture can tell it’s a “Close-up” however they can tell the picture is taken from at least 30-40 feet.
Things that make you say hmm?
What’s more scary?
A person taking stealth pictures inside the Post Office because they are mad at a long line… or a person who is taking quite obvious pictures of the outside of the building looking at ADA compliance?
