A "well-intentioned" train security officer
in North Sydney station tried that "you cannot
take photos here" caper with me last year.

I stopped when I got a written apology
from the SRA and a guarantee they'd
fully "re-train"  their "security" staff in
non-fascist techniques of dealing with
the public.

I also have a letter signed by Phillip
Rudock when he was AG, assuring me
that openly taking photos in public places
is a perfectly legal activity ANYWHERE
in Australia and any attempt by ANYONE
to stop one from enjoying that activity
is, by definition, harassment.

Harassment of citizens by would-be fascists
is illegal and can be the subject of a citizen
arrest.  Which I'll be happy to administer
next time a stupid arse fascist tries to
step on my toes.

Don't give in on this one, folks.
It only takes one case to go ahead
unchallenged for this kind of people
to start making precedents.  These
idiots are fascists, pure and simple.
