had i similar encounter when i was on conleave from germany ( im in the U.S.Army). i live in a small town. there is 4 police on the force. while taking pictures of my girlfriend with the bridge in the background and police station behind me, i hear a car come to a screeching halt.. followed by camera on the hood and hands up. now, my girlfriend although an american citizen and former soldier has lived in germany for quite some time.. this didnt help the situation. he went on to tell me i was taking pictures of the police station and the library, which i was not. he then started asking my gf where she was from, why is she in the states, for how long etc etc. she tells him she with me and im on leave. hes telling me to bend over forward with my hands on the hood still and i cant because i had spinal surgery 2 days prior and shouldnt have even been walking around. so i keep telling him no i cant and he keeps telling me im resisting blah blah blah. i show him the my back and bumcheek from the operations and he sees my military id. so then he goes on telling me i should have told him i was a soldier and i should know better than to take photos of govt. buildings. which i told him i wasnt. so basically he sat there and looked through every photo in the memory disk hands me the camera tells me " im lucky" and gets in his car and drives off. what a yahoo.
