Hey Regulator75, maybe you and your buddy can form a team that goes around public areas, hiding behind trees and photographing people. We could catch some serious, minor infractions that way.

In all seriousness, this just points out how we live in the world of big brother. And also oversensitive ######ed lurking behind trees in a cemetery brother. The smallest thing you do now, can potentially ruin your life, because some idiot on a website, says it's so.
What the OP's friend said may very well be true, but it may be patently false as well. With all the mouth breathers out there that believe every single thing they read on the internet, this could become a dangerous game.
I'll give an example. A few weeks ago I was standing in our parking lot of our dealership with an ex girlfriend of mine from over a decade ago I getting along with very well. We were goofing around and giving each other the gears, and she was owning me pretty hard. At the end of the conversation I gave her the middle finger 2 inches from her face because it was something she always used to do when she got super pissed at me, and it became our little in-joke about her over reactions. I walk back in the dealership, and one of the sales guys asked me "Holy crap, What the hell happened there?" thinking it was a customer.
If someone took a photo of that, and posted it online with a tagline "Local dealership finance manager flips off female customer." It could ruin my career, and render me unemployable. Even if it was explainable. Nobody cares about the misunderstanding part, all they care about is the heat of the moment drama.
