The chap showed the photos to the copper according to the news. Are we supposed to show what's on the camera if asked by a copper?
 
if it was someone and not the father . he may have complained to the police why they did nothing. there are a few nutters out there who sadly spoil it for everyone else. The person who reported it did what they thought was best. After all if someone was taking pictures of children for other uses , if questioned by the public would they not say that it was there child. if asked by the police at least they may have to show ID.

if he had not shown them the photos it could have been even more embarassing for him.

in this sad world its better to be safe than sorry.

at least he was proved innocent.

Cheers Steve

Is it a legal requirement? If not I dont see why I should show a copper what's on my camera
 
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'd agree with you in most cases, but in this case, it would have been easier showing the images on the camera then to be held in custody. After all, what have you got to hide if your doing nothing wrong?
 
I would have then insisted the policeman went over to the crowd and tell them all was above board....

I see both sides of the argument but common sense has to prevail...

why not ? because we dont have to isnt a good reason -why not cooperate and spare both yourself and the cop a whole load of agravation

from the article concerned (my emboldening)

He (the cop) was very polite. He asked to look at my photos on my camera. He then realised I was telling the truth.”

The Sussex dad said he does not blame police but thinks people should show more common sense before people call police.

in that situation what would refusing to show the pictures have got him ... apart from arrested probably

Because in most cases, can i see your images leads to name and address, if I haven't done anything wrong, then Im not legally obliged to do so.

Well done.

Or next time, try using common sense, it works both ways.
