There is much that can be done about it. Still a visit with an officer is intimidating. He did the right thing. And actually so did the officer, who was responding to complaints about suspicious behavior. The officer had to respond to the complaint. He did so. He took down information, and decided that going further with you was not worth the effort. You were obviously a school kid with a camera and an interest in trains. He let you go with the advice not to frighten the other passengers. And *that* is the element that you cannot control: The reaction of the geese. You do have to live with that. I would not be furative in my taking pictures. But I would still take them. Did too infact. I took over 500 pictures while on vacation, mostly of subway subjects in NYC. No one ever stopped or questioned me. Subway employees were friendly with their waves. One touch, however, may help. I made a laminated badge, with my "Broadway Lion" on it. The one shown to the left in this post. I did that so that other subchatters might recognize me. You are not impersonating anybody by doing this, conventioneers wear badges all of the time. But berhaps it will calm the geese, and keep them from thinking evil of you. |
