All's well that ends well, or is it ?

Having read quite a lot of the stuff on Chris White's facebook campaign regarding the photographing of his daughter in a shopping mall and all the hullabaloo that followed once an over zealous security guard became involved.  I have to say that the wider issue here, that of the power of the individual who is prepared to use social networking sites as a means to redress what appeared to be a serious grievance.

I applaud the shopping mall management for apologising and, in my opinion, doing the right thing regarding the incident.  They have made their position a little clearer too with regard to the taking of photographs so, hopefully, that attitude will spread around all the other malls and places of public resort that seek to try and stop photography by claiming some nonsensical justification such as anti terror legislation whilst harassing people who wish to take photographs.  Which, incidentally, was never written with such bans in mind.

Don't get me wrong though.  I still think that Big Brother should continue to watch over us and, if someone is up to no good then the police ought rightly to have sufficient powers with which to investigate specific incidents.
