I was walking the dogs today on a public footpath by some wood.
Sore some snowdrops which I took a photo of ( there was nobody around no houses near and no kids ) just finished taking photo when when some old ####
Giving it me loads of grief you should not be taking photos on public footpaths and you maybe a pervert! so what rules are then?

This is the photo

I would say public = public end of. Unless you are obviously taking photos around kids that are not your own etc etc.

Going by the photo you took.... Obviously your a pedo! haha

Cheers for clearing that up
