Were you arrested? Camera confiscated? If so, what were the charges?

Btw folks, who has a story of someone being arrested - or even
harassed by the cops - for copyright infringement? I've heard of court
orders against the infringers, law suits and such, but never anyone
being arrested.

I think we're mixing apples and oranges here. Solly is talking
copyright of his house and front lawn - and personal hygiene I think -
and some of you are talking about security issues with taking photos
from or of public places. Before we continue the argument lets decide
what we're arguing about.
