Despite what the media and the police force would have you believe, cops (in the U.S.) are not the law. They don't know the law. That is not what they are there for. Judges and courts represent the law (more so the latter). Cops are there to keep civil peace. Somewhere along the way too much "power" has been given ... cops call it discretion.
EDIT: I may elucidate further on this. I'm at work and keep getting interrupted again. Curses!

we're going round and round in circles mate.
Freedom to take pictures or freedom from the oppression of the master class?
A man floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean is the most free thing there is, completely unfettered and not subject to a single prohibition. Thing is, it isnt much of a life is it?
