We did have a nod in the direction of Christmas this weekend. We watched "Holiday Inn"

Yes, we do need rules, yes, most of these 'stop using your camera' stories seem to involve PCSOs.

So the question is, if a PCSO tries to stop us taking photos, should we perform a citizens arrest on them for impersonating a Police Officer, which after all is against the law?
I like that idea!!

Just a thought - it is better to have uncomfortable rules than no rules at all, giving the authorities free hand.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

* This was used as a motto on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania. (1759);
Fine words indeed.

Meanwhile, back in real life, rules are a necessity of any society. Those rules have to evolve to protect that society from changing circumstances.

The crux is that the rules do not become disproportionate.
Yes, rules are a necessity and that quote doesn't attempt to deny that. But liberty is also necessary and the rules should attempt to protect liberty first. A protected society that has no liberty...well we have a name for those places, we call them gaols.
