Are they kidding?
What most Kuwaiti photographers have come to wonder is how such a decision could be reached by authorities, especially considering that digital cameras and cell phone cameras have the same abilities


Whahaha. Yeah right. I'll take my HTC smartphone next time I go spotting...
Taking a picture of a stranger would seem like much less of an issue if you were using a more discreet camera or even a cell phone
Ehm, if a stranger were to take a picture of me for whatever reason I'd be annoyed anyway, regardless of the type of camera used...
