I'm glad you did not let yourself get intimidated from taking the photo. Ms C,

It's spring in the Virginia countryside and it's just becoming more gorgeous daily. Today on my way to DC on business, I drove by a beautiful "weeping cherry tree" that was right smack in front of an old colonial home. I happened to have my Canon in my trunk as I had used it this weekend and I literally stopped and parked my car and took the pic. I was hesitant at first that someone would think that I was outa-line but I remembered that as long as I was not on the private property I was within my rights to take the picture. Guess where I picked up this lil tid bit of info on 1st Amendment rights? tee-hee! Hey Carlos,

You should carry a little digital recorder with you! you can pick them up fairly cheap. (like $20 for a used one) Not for incidents with people, but for incidents with law enforcement. I know in California most police have recording devices on them, for much the same reason that you would want one... to determine exactly what happened after the fact. Memory can be dodgy, binary can't. I can dig around and give some recommendations, as i've used a bunch of them for field recording stuff for my music. Unfortunately, i don't know any officer's names at all, but i'll bookmark the site. I wonder how much of it is going to be petty "he gave me a speeding ticket, the dick" If it doesn't have a /. style modding system i'll recommend one, cause that'll let people moderate the really stupid stuff out of the spotlight.
