Well what's scary isn't the "police state" (you're right, we're not in a police state. . .at least not yet). What's scary is that so many people accept it. The citizens of that town should be going crazy protesting this obvious violation of civil rights. If they violate his rights and haul him to jail for taking photos of a public scene, they're willing to violate YOUR rights too. That's not saying the whole government is a police state, but the officers that apparently WANT it to be a police state, should be sacked.
