    Your evidence that he was blocking the sidewalk with gear is what, precisely.

      Did you read the article? It’s all there, including a photo of the gear he was using.

        So a photo staged after the event for the news report is your evidence he was blocking the sidewalk before the newsworthy event was happening.

        You’re an idjit. Go crawl back under the bridge you call home.

        (For those of you who are not this idjit: when a photographer is waiting for proper lighting, they generally don’t sit there with all their equipment out, tripod legs spread, etc., precisely because they don’t know when—or even if—the lighting will go their way. They just stand to one side, using a minimal footprint, waiting for the right conditions before they snap out the equipment to take their shot. This guy is talking out of his asshole. By which I mean out of himself.)

          No.

          The photo shows the gear he blocked the sidewalk with. I’ll note that it’s not a typical tripod, but a much larger one that has a considerable footprint.

          The report itself, going by the testimony of the accused, is the evidence. The ticket with the admitted infraction further bolsters this evidence.

          What more do you want? What exactly are you in denial about?

            And your evidence the gear was fully-deployed is…?

            Nothing.

            You’re just an asshole.

            Fuck off.

              Firstly, why are you taking things so personally?

              To the evidence, it’s literally all over the article, from the title even!

              P.E.I. photographer handcuffed, fined after taking pictures of Quebec City’s iconic Château Frontenac

              John Morris, a professional photographer from P.E.I., said he was trying to get the perfect shot of the iconic hotel when police approached him.

              A professional photographer from Charlottetown, P.E.I., has been fined $230 for “loitering” while he was taking pictures of Quebec City’s iconic Château Frontenac hotel.

              I’m not a professional photographer, but it would seem that someone in the process of taking photos, would probably have to have their equipment out. Perhaps even the equipment that he showed off for that photo in the same article. 😀

              You’re just mad for no reason. Relax.
