    Here’s how it should have gone:

    photographer waiting for good lighting

    Embassy doesn’t feel nervous because they have at least one iota of experience observing humans

    Another pretty good scenario:

    photographer waiting for good lighting

    Embassy: Hey why are you hanging around out there?

    Photographer: oh I’m just writing for the light to good for this very common tourist photo opportunity

    Embassy: okay, but please don’t take photos of us

    Here’s another situation:

    photographer waiting for good lighting

    Police: Hey we got a call that you’re loitering here, and it’s making people nervous. What are you up to?

    Photographer: I don’t think I need to explain myself, it’s pretty obvious I’m trying to get a good photo of the very common tourist photo opportunity.

    Police: okay just make sure you’re not blocking the sidewalk.

    Here’s a thought: if the Americans feel so insecure they can fuck off back to the USA where they can be secure.

    How about the cops focus on the thousands of cars being stolen instead of some guy with a camera. Oh, wait, that’s hard work and they wouldn’t get to harass anybody.

      That’s not something they can go after

      Better anti-thief is what you are looking for; like removing the computer from cars

        Car theft is not something that police can go after? If it is up to me to just make my property less steal-able then why the fuck do we have police at all?

          Having them check every shipping container leaving our country would destroy the economy and smugglers would just go cross border

            Containers from not-janky, high volume, shippers gets them sealed with a tag before they go on the truck. Check the ones without tags.

                  Re-read what I said and try to explain how these tags are harder than that

                  Remembering that you are claiming that infiltrating Service Ontario is easier than infiltrating these companies

      If you don’t know that P.E.I. is Prince Edward Island and feel compelled to share your brilliant discovery, you probably don’t belong in a discussion group about Canada on a Canadian-hosted Lemmy server.
