Standard Salt Lake City "targets"
I have never been to Salt Lake, but I wonder what is near the address she was arrested at? If there are a lot of possible "targets" in that area, and she (being a phoptographer and her name has a possibly of being a "minority" ) was taking photos more so than what a normal tourist in Salt Lake would, and looked a little suspicious, the officers probably noticed her, and decided to question her. Then she refuses to give ID.........
(....just this freeper's VERY humble opinion....)
Standard Salt Lake City "targets"
She seems to like architexural photography, and perhaps the cops wondered who this woman was taking pics?
I tried to look up more info from the local papers, but didn't find anything in the archives about the arrest.
Still, I don't like policemen asking for id where there is not probable cause. Women with expensive cameras, even if they are hispanic, usually have some means behind them.
I totally agree. As with most news stories, we don't necessarily get the whole story.
As photographing certain areas and buildings such as water treatment or federal office buildings can be called suspicious behavior it is worth withholding judgement...However, odds are these were just over zealous goons.
