Police/Security Bureaucracy Gone Mad

Here's a sad tale of a father who was accused of being a paedophile for taking a picture of his own son on a ride in a shopping mall. He explained to the security guard that it was his own son. That didn't cut any ice. According to "the rules" at the mall, anybody taking a picture of any kid was by definition a paedophile and needed to have their pictures confiscated.

It wasn't just the security guard. Later while at a different place in the mall he was approached the police who wanted to arrest him for taking pictures of his own son and not handing them over to the security guard.

What a screwy world. Instead of having security and police attending to real crimes, they busy themselves with bullying ordinary people doing innocuous stuff. Crazy.
