Today, I went hiking at a park by my house with my camera to do some still life. On my way home I noticed some tree blossoms in someone's backyard and tried to take pictures of them over their fence. In minutes, I was approached and interrogated by cops because they thought I was a peeping tom. FML

************************************************************************************************************** Just to make things a little a more clear since I couldn't in the FML: 1. I am not the 70+ year old man from the other FML, although I did laugh at the idea cause of the coincidence LOL 2. I was not leaning over the fence, the fence was my height. I was merely holding the branch with my hand to the right lighting for the image I wanted. 3. I agree, I could've asked permission, but since I was on the road side of the fence, and this fence was at the back of their house, I didn't feel like walking all the way back around the corner to find this house after hiking. For all I know, they probably weren't there. 4. The funniest thing is, they did ask to see my camera and the images, and then just acted like nothing happened. But they did scare the shit out of me because I had my iPod headphones in and didn't hear them approach me and call me from their vehicle. 5. Lastly, F*CK THE POLICE! No, I'm just kidding :P They had the right I guess, but man was that embarasing. **************************************************************************************************************

Was it a privacy fence? If so, ask permission next time, and go back there for a better view. YDI. Amusing, though. (and while I'm here, I'll be cool and scream "Yay, first!!!111")

...And then you showed them all the wonderful still lifes from the park and the tree, and they said, "Sorry for the inconvenience, sir. Next time try not to take pictures over someone's privacy fence. Have a nice day." The end.

You should have knocked on the door and asked if you could take pictures of the tree blossoms...

Giving you a YDI for that because... Tree blossom or not, you don't have the legal right to lean over a fence and take photos of anything in someone's back yard. There are other trees in the world

Just knock on the door and ask for permission.... It's not that hard.

There's a reason why people build fences.

You know this could have all been avoided if you'd just knocked on their door and asked permission or at least tell them what you were doing.

I will say FYL, because I could see how you weren't thinking. While I am not a professional photographer or anything, I have pulled over to take pictures of a beautiful sunset. I also pass what I consider my dream house to and from work and have wanted to take pictures.....I guess due to your story, I should try to get permission from the owners of the house.
