It is treating another human being like you would want to be treated yourself! <<<Sad story, but the M6 made my life much easier, and my unobtrusive approach made life easier for the police and less stressful for the victim.>>>>>> And that's what sorts out the "fine caring photographers" from the rabble! Others would have just jumped in and started flashing away and sending the poor woman into fits of hysteria and crying, as well as pissing off the police officers for making their job that much more difficult!
