What do people here think about this type of photography? Would ye do it. Dont think i could do it myself,standing around for hours to get a few snaps of some scumbags. Maybe the money is good,but i wouldnt think so.

I suppose its a career for these people. The guy with the moustache was outside Bray Garda station all night on Thursday and again today, hard work waiting around for a few snaps. Another guy got a call to get to the airport asap and he has been on this case since Thursday morn.

I think it's laughable to call it photography. I also think it's morally bankrupt (ironically, in this case) particularly when the subject is not a criminal or someone who courts the attention of the media.

I'd have waited patiently alright, to get a few 'good shots' in, but I'm not talking photographically :mad:;)

I'm sure that there are many who would disagree with this statement.

We'll see about that.

I didn't mean that the guy in this case wasn't a criminal. I meant that this happens in situations when there are no police involved and there isn't a suggestion that the person in question might be a suspected criminal

Of course, because whether someone is a criminal or not is based on subjective opinion.

I don't particularly want to defend this guy, but there still exists the presumption of innocence.

Doesn't mater who the subject is (excluding children) - Considering the amount of people that are out of work, If I had to do it I would without hesitation. I wouldn't enjoy it I would do it.

Ah, the yuppie Nuremberg defence.

What you're saying could easily be applied to any number of moneymaking activities, legal or not, and was exactly what I was referring to as moral bankruptcy.
