As I said, what sort of information would a terrorist be able to get from that picture? I never said anything about the artistic merits of the shot. And yes, I own a few cameras. Such as the 5D I used today when wandering around Detroit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjmcneilly/sets/72157622662651075/ This one in particular reminds me of your comments. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sjmcneilly/4097677678/in/set-72157622662651075/ So, Gene Genie…

Practice was a good answer. genewitch,

Do you even own a camera? or do you only ever go on vacation to places that have documentaries and picture books made of them? If i was in new york and that door was the only splash of color on that street i'd probably take a picture as well. And to answer your original trollish question: "practice" Simon Jester: are you serious? or are you trolling? Do you even own a camera? or do you only ever go on vacation to places that have documentaries and picture books made of them?

Better detail of the pee stain from the hobo who leaned up against the wall the night before?

Why would they ever delete photographs? If the photo was taken during the commission of a crime, wouldn't it be evidence? Or do they just erase the photo and consider the case closed and let you go? “…officers are not allowed to delete images or confiscate cameras, unless they are used during the commission of a crime.”
