Shelley, yes it probably has been robbed, which makes me think that the shopkeeper would know the difference between somebody on the sidewalk with a camera, and somebody inside his shop with a gun.
But like I said, I don’t expect everybody to agree with me. You have the right to do what you want with your rights too.

Tenderloin District…how many times has that store been robbed? I bet more than once. Adds a new dimension to this story, doesn’t it?

Perhaps what you need is empathy and respect, to go with your rights.

I think it can help sometimes to have some business cards with your name and website, etc., so you’re not just some anonymous guy taking photos for mysterious reasons.

Excellent write-up, Jeremy!

I think you clarified the main sticking-point in this whole debate, and that is being a gentleman (or lady) while firmly, but politely standing up for your rights. Even in the face of asshattery, if you can stay cool, you have the upper hand.

Thats your right, you where on a public sidewalk! You have all the right Jeremy, go back and take the picture. Let him call the cops… your in the right. That’s like someone saying you can’t walk on the sidewalk in front of their bussiness.
