arrested and deported, based on the types of pictures they had taken.
Sounds like there is a law, somewhere, supporting this.


Can you cite a case for this? I'm aware of people being arrested and
deported for various crimes (or violations; a subtle and annoying
difference) like overstaying a visa. But I've completely missed a case
where some has been deported merely for taking "suspicious amounts of
pictures".

It happened in Charlotte a couple years ago. You can look it up, if you
wish.

That's pretty sad. I take pictures like crazy, usually of buildings
(daughter of a civil engineer, it's in my genes). I'd spend hours
wandering around downtown with my camera pointed up. It's unfortunate
that makes someone suspicious.

Yes, and it is unfortunate that when someone is asked about it they get
combative and further raise suspicion beyond the ridiculous levels it is
already at.
