Disorderly conduct Milwaukee,Wisconsin


What is the name of your state?Wisconsin
I was near a beach in a Milwaukee county park and was taking pictures of the beach
and people on it with my digital camera which ha a 10x zoom lens. Several Sheriff deputies
came up to me and demanded I stop taking pictures and give the camera to them so that they
could look at the pictures. After looking at the pictures the deputy said that most of them
were of women in their swimsuits. They said I was causing a disturbance by taking their
pictures. I said that this was a pubic park and that they had no right of privacy and that
I was standing over 30 feet from them and not saying anything to them or jesters to
them,such taking pictures. The Deputy gave me a disorderly conduct ticket because
they were call because of my picture taking was upsetting them.

It is not LAW.

Gender references shall apply equally to the other gender. I will not correct gender mistakes (unless I want to)
