>>382948I know it's a different country, different laws, different people and blah blah blah, but it blows my mind how someone can work in an area that not everyone has access to, sign some work related papers with a bunch of rules to follow and just completely ignore the requests by the delegation. Surely, as a photographer/cameraman you would know about the importance of consent, especially when you were hired by the national broadcaster to work on such a huge international event. And then, when you were the one who was unprofessional and didn't follow the rules/important requests went to report this (based on the officially released information) minuscule incident to the police?
I can't imagine something like that happening on the streets - someone filming random people gets called out for that, doesn't do anything and thus is insulted and maybe pushed by the filmed people, then goes to complain about it to the police. It just sounds crazy, especially when there was no physical harassment, only an alleged threat, that no one knows what it was exactly.
