However, and it is a very large hole, if the allegation is that you are molesting children and or stalking a woman, then your cameras and film go into the black hole for a very long time, and a very, very, very long time if your film doesn't turn out. You do need to read between the lines. True story, an acquaintance was foolishly shooting in a mall, didn't stop when the security guards asked him to. They called the real police and alleged that he was photographing small children inappropriately. Bye, Bye camera, film. It turned out some frames were indeed of children. Prosecutors can take a really long time deciding what to do. Don Dory dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
