 My goodness....  I seem to remember someone getting arrested here in
the States for taking pictures of a major bridge as well...

I see your bridge and raise you an international hunt by the FBI for men
who took pictures of a ferry:

After a year, the men are tipped off to the story and identify
themselves:

Turns out they just thought they were cool:

"Where these gentlemen live, they don't have vehicle ferries. They were
fascinated that a ferry could hold that many cars and wanted to show
folks back home," FBI Special Agent Robbie Burroughs said Monday.



I'll toss in "Amtrak photo contestant arrested by Amtrak police in NYC's
Penn Station":
