You posting the subject didn't upset me, although the fact that it is

This kind of thing happened to another member of the Eastbourne
Photographic Society last summer.  He was taking pictures of the tennis
and was stopped by the police.  They confiscated his film (he shots
slides mostly) and processed it themselves (very badly) to see that he
wasn't a paedophile.
