From: someone Mr Walters said police had been spooked by politicians and had acquired "an inflated fear of terrorism".
"We currently have thousands of cameras set up to watch citizens, but if citizens themselves take photos, the authorities take that as some sort of risk," he said.
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,17859754-28793,00.htmlThe kicker is "Send us your photos" (of Shell oil refinery), which leads to a 404.

We have them here too. We call them "traffic monitoring systems" or "security" or "damn, that building just doesn't look right... I know, let's add some cameras hanging off the roof!"

I've had security called on me for taking pictures NEAR a Jewish community center a few months after 9-11. v_v
I actually even had the COPS called on me for being within a few hundred feet of the same community center at 10pm, looking for crickets for my scorpion. The cop that stopped me and I mutually thought the other was a moron. It was great. He was scared the terrorists were coming to get us all and I was stupid for not knowing that, and I was scared of him for being stupid and for him not even knowing what he was scared of.
