We are watching you...

A pretty interesting CCTV camera this. I liked the spikey hair on the top. Just after I took this photo a big burly Matropolitan transport police office walked up and asked what I was doing. I know my rights as a photographer. We are free to take photos where we like (for the time being anyway). They can't ask to see the photos or make you delete the photos. I knew this so stayed pretty calm. "Why are you taking photos of that?" he asked. "Because I like the spikey hair on top, it amuses me". "I saw you outside the station too, taking photos" he replied. "Oh, of the man up the ladder fixing his shop sign? Yeah that was quite cool. I just like taking photos of unusual things in the street, it's street art isn't it?" I said. "Ok then he said" and walked off. What was the point in that exactly? I know there are some security issues with taking photos in sensitive places, but come on. A man up a ladder and a CCTV camera. It's just got funny hair, lets just leave it at that.
