While the scenario is interesting to think about, it would never happen in real life. If this would have happened, the officer would just simply take the film. A lady I know was in the Ambasitor Hotel the moment Robert Kennedy was killed. She shot (sorry), photographed the scene in the kitchen with a Rollei 35. The Feds promply took the film. I bought this camera a few years ago. jh >Subject: RE: [Leica] my SHOES -- 100% leica related absolutely ON TOPIC >Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2001 15:56:44 -0600 > >Now, won't someone be in trouble for destroying or suppressing evidence >(called obstruction of justice in the U.S.A.)?
