I know there are insane and/or stupid people like the "distressed" woman
in the story, and one can never know what bizarre charges they will
bring -- but one shouldn't make generalizations based on the actions of
the extreme fringe. Is it really the case that merely taking a picture
of a child on the street is "socially unacceptable"?


Does "socially unacceptable" = "illegal" ?!?!



It depends on how "unacceptable" it is. That's more or less the basis
of the Common Law, I think you will find.
