It happened to me in the early 1970s in the dear old sick partitioned counties of Ireland.
I was confronted by a Brit Army foot patrol, who demanded to know what I was doing with a camera, no joking this was the question I was asked, after a heated argument with the Serg in charge, I was taken to the Army Barracks for questioning.
I needn`t go into detail but I was "lifted" around 3pm and wasn`t released until 11.30pm.
Trying to convince the goons that I was entitled to photograph the scenery in our local Park was nigh impossible, this was a regular occurence in our little world if you had the misfortune to come from a Nationalist area.
And this item from Amos brings it all back, but in the land of the free?.The Chimps goons have really got the jitters. Ard Mhacha.
