maybe he was shooting at the 5 guys' girlfriends to contribute to sggirls/sammyboy leh? :nono:
if so then i think he deserved it. :sweat:
well, be it for personal uses,contribution to sggirs or sammyboy, it is wrong of the 5 guys to beat up the person, for 1) it is against the law, 2) he has all rights to take photos of anyone, as long as it is in a public place.
that being said, sometimes, one will encounter such situation where the other party dont care whether the photographer has the rights or not. All these rights and stuff like this are meant for us to defend ourselves. But being faced in those situation, it might be better to just delete the picture to avoid all the troublesome. Some people, like in this situation just nasty, and dont care about your rights and law, and just bash you up.
It's really fate if such things were to happen. You can't expect to tell a Beng or Lian, that you have the rights to take, because you are in a public place. Probably what will happen next is the funeral wake of one's camera, or worse, being beaten.
Law cannot protect a photographer when the situation happens, esp when the person is nasty...
