In what appears to be becoming a daily occurrence yet another photographer was harassed in Britain. This time he was accused of being a pedophile for taking pictures of HIS OWN SON!
“A few minutes later a policeman walked in and approached me, so they must have been tracking me on the CCTV.
“He said he’d received a complaint that a man matching my description was taking pictures of children and wanted my name and address.
“I told him it was ridiculous because it was my own son. He then started asking me what I was doing in Sunderland, asked for my name and address and told me he had the right to delete my pictures.
“I got annoyed and raised my voice a bit, then he threatened me with arrest for breach of the peace.”
The rude and insensitive security guard that initiated the encounter and contacted police told the photographer that there is a big problem with pedophiles at the Bridges Shopping Center. If the problem is so big then perhaps it is time that families with children avoid going to that place.
The photographer should sue the guard, the officers and the shopping mall for defamation of character and slander!
