This is why I don't shoot people..

Blue,blue, blue, one of my fave colors, coming back from work I wondered maybe if the new wave window dressing at the Y swimming pool would look cool in a picture. I imagine they added this dressing to give the swimmers some pravicy from peeps outside the buiding. So I took a couple shots. I tried to get the Y sign and the sidewalk along the building in too for good measure. So after, I'm almost home(right in front of my ex's building actually) when two cop cars pull up lights blazing, the one cop, pumped right up, orders me to put my hands on the hood and takes my camera saying they'd had a complaint that someone had observed me taking pics of children swimming. Fuck..I see where this is going and try to explain that I was just taking a pic of the building and actaully from the angle I took the pics I couldn't even see inside, 'cept maybe 20 feet up the wall of the pool becuse of the new BLUE window dressing. I could see I was wasting my breathe, this cop was convinced he'd caught a perv and got all ignorant and waved away my explainations, and when I tried to show the other cop how to review the pics on my camera I was told to keep my" fucking hands on the hood.!". Asshole. So anyways, the other cop checked out my pics(some cloud shots, a painted hydrant, 3 pics of the Y building) and said he was assured that it was innocent enough and apologized for the fuss, which I totally understand, but I thought asshole cop should have bin a lil more descreet till he had the facts, fucken pig.
I was thinking of leaving my camera at home this morning..but fuck that, can't let one bad(horrible actaully) experience scare me off takin' pics.
