Let's not get carried away here
I'm with those who think this is a really bad idea in practice, no matter how appealing it might be in theory. This poor woman apparently has so little to occupy her time that she has convinced herself that she is on a moral crusade that will bring lots of attention and assistance from the media. In fact, the media isn't about to post pictures from someone like her that appear to show someone in a slightly compromising situation. Imagine what the world would be like if they started doing that.
Some of you may remember the recent situation with Jennifer in S-dbury. A local station had film from outside a location where there had been a recent arrest, and they still blurred out the face and license plate of the guy entering / leaving the establishment. I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that for a media outlet to show a private person in a context that suggests lawbreaking (but with no evidence thereof) could verge on libel under the right circumstances. Even if it's not libel, there's a clear possibility that they smeared a guy who's completely innocent. Nobody likes to have to apologize for crap like that.
On the other hand, following the actions mentioned below could easily have generated a 911 call with a plausible accusation of assault, theft, and / or malicious destruction of property. That's clearly newsworthy, especially if there was an arrest to go with it. Unless you managed to leave without letting anyone see your license plate and having completely destroyed the memory card, it's hard to believe that you could avoid such an outcome. The resulting coverage would make a much larger stink than a picture of someone simply visiting a MP.
If this woman thinks her pictures will make the morning paper, she's delusional. If she doesn't really believe it, then she's just yanking your chain. It can be hard to walk away from something like that, but it's really for the best all around.
[QUOTE=DontFailMeNow;2027186]You handled it much differently than I would have. Without a doubt I would have grabbed the camera out of her hands, smashed it on the ground, and walked away, not uttering a single word. What she did wouldn't fly with me. And after everything was said and done, there would have been very little she could have done about it.[/QUOTE]
