I would understand if my brother was hanging around a playground taking pics of kids or if he was hanging around the shopping centre directly taking pics of people or looking suspicious. But he is not. I am going down to the shopping centre tomorrow demanding to speak to the manager. I am not letting this drop. Rather than going after real criminals and actually getting it right they pick on innocent people. Did anyone hear of the story a couple of years ago in the news. A woman was told off in her local park for taking photos of her OWN child. Can you imagine that?

That is a rediculous story. How anyone can justify this beyond me. I could understand asking your brother to stop taking pictures but to ban him is daft. I would take it as far as you can but dont forget to not go against your brothers wishes.
I am a keen photographer and have only been approached by someone against it once which was by a mother who told me (not asked) to put my camera away as she didnt want her children being photographed. I wasnt even taking photos, I just had the camera in my hand.

I think legally the Bullring have the right to ban whoever they like from their premises as it is private land. Embarrase them into submittion by going to the press, they will probably love a story like this.
Another fun thing todo would be to get a huge get together of photographers to go in and take pictures everywhere.

Yes they can ban who they like but why not tell him to just stop taking photos not ban him. Its stupid. Last Friday thousands of people were there taking photos cos Gok Wan from the tv show How To Look Good Naked was in the shopping centre. Did they stop them taking photos? No.

I think your brother has fell foul of the owners rules and regs and policies that are probably witten in such a way that the common sense does not factor into it not can it be allowed to either, some "suite" has implemented it, had a meeting over it, put it out for discussion, had another meeting over it etc etc. If they have not backed down now then they probably never will and will just claim "policy" and hide behind politically correct rhetoric when questioned.
Hope you get your point accross tho mate

Go get them!
My Grandfather was born in London and my Grandmother in Dublin. They married and came to NZ after WWII and never went back to the UK. They traveled to Vanuatu many times, Australia 2/3times, the US once but never back to the UK.
That always spoke volumes to me growing up. Many Kiwis travel to the UK for their Overseas Experience but I never bothered.
I hear that this sort of thing is common in the UK. Political Correctness is a way of life over there, thats why all your cops are now living here.
There's discussion here in NZ about changing our flag. The British Empire is so irrelevant down here now, it's probably a good time to make changes. It seems the UK is irrelevant to everyone else now too, thanks to Political Correctness.
