think rangefinders are better at stealthing... (see too much Pearl Harbour liao)
actually the more stealthy u look, the more suspicious ppl get... so if u have it, flaunt it... take out your camera & shoot... if they really check, den who cares if u din do anything wrong? but til now i haven kena, maybe i got this artistic look... hehehehehe..
Hehehe... Surprising they managed to get razor sharp images. Da Japanese spies doing the recon muz be really good photographers!

i think if you are at the carpark with a DSLR and a super long zoom, you will be in worse trouble, they think you a peeping tom, so i feel lucky only P&S
Anyway I asked them if it is illegal to take pictures in public. They says no, but just curious what I just took. So I show them lamposts, streetlights. They didn't even bother to look. The other guy must have felt so stupid. Breaking their plainclothes cover just to catch a terrorist who decided to bomb a hdb carpark. They are better off checking uncles and aunties carrying bags. Better chance of a drug or vcd bust. A guy with a P&S pointing at inanmate objects, the most he get is a warning for shooting at protected places. Maybe carparks will be gazetted as one next. So they are doing some kind of 'market survey'. With that I see a future in CS having shooting gallery for people testing exposures with their cameras without having to bother to show IC.
hahaha he must've felt dumb... but then again, it's good to see that the police are alert and bother to even bother you! it shows how INTO the job theyre into
as for ID Cards... i tink if we have em but state that you've gotta PAY for them and IF the cards have special discounts like for the photography bookstore at adelphi? hehe say 10% discount... or discount at Alan Photo or Cathay... i think people will pay for membership.... say $50 a year

i don't think it's a simple matter of WHAT you took or WHAT camera you have. By coming up to you, they are actually sizing you up... to see if you're indeed suspicious or trying to hide something from them.
If terrorists wanna 'plan' for something, they WOULD take pictures of the surroundings, and that mean lampposts, signboards, etc.

It's a membership card... not an official ID card. I'm just wondering... what's so special about a CS ID card? What's so bigshot about a clubsnapper. Really. BEsides getting a discount at some stores, a clubsnapper is no bigger deal than a Friends of the Zoo member or NTUC Fairprice member. PLease remember that even by flashing your Clubsnap ID, a clubsnapper is not above the law. It doesn't protect you from the men in blue (or plainclothes for that matter).

$50 a year? You can use your Epson printer and laminator to print one out yourself.
You can normally get away with it because not all police knows how a photographer ID looks like. The staff in the camera store will believe you as they haven't seen too many of discount cards too as long as you don't print a 50% discount card. :sweatsm:
If I were you I would put "Planet Press" in my photographer ID to get access to any location in the national parade or to backstage of Miss Singapore Contest. :sweatsm:

Hi,
Just for your info, those police u met may be fake as well. Did u check their IDs carefully? I heard from someone who did quarrel with a car owner when the guy thought he was some HDB officier taking his illegal parking. Just a thought...

Do not underestimate the magic of CS ID card.
1. You may get an upgrade from economy seat to first class seat if a fellow CSer is flying the plane.
2. You may get a free ride if a fellow CSer is driving the bus.
3. You may get a cell with air-con and colour TV if caught by a fellow CSer who is a police.
4. You may get a free burger if a fellow CSer is manning the counter at Macdonald.
etc. etc. the list goes on and on........... (I think others will be able to expand the list further).
:sweatsm:
