I was on the top level of a parking garage trying to get some pictures of rain clouds that were rolling in. Everything seemed to be fine until I shot a few photos of one of the security cameras. That was when security arrived, told me I was not allowed to take pictures of the security cameras, and I was invited to leave the property immediately. I understand the need for security cameras but this just makes me a bit sad. Guess I need to be more careful when I am shooting in the city.

Wow….really? Was the parking a public facility? Wow … that is interesting.
OMG….looks at the photo you took…they are looking right at you too! It is an interesting shot.
In a public place you could tell him to mind his own business, but better to say sorry you didn’t know and walk off with the picture in the bag and a smile.
Keep taking the pictures.
I agree. Part of me wanted to put up a fight, but I decided to quietly exit. I have read about some security guards and police who will try to confiscate your equipment in situations like this. Sad but true.
In the UK the police can confiscate your equipment if they have reason to think you are using it to commit a crime, they are not allowed to delete your photos, that is considered theft of your property.
