Caro Amico Toni.....

Non lo sapevi già che noi poliziotti, spesso 
lavoriamo, "aggratis"?
;-)

(WWP community must excuse the italian 
language, it's no possible to translate in a correct way......it's only 
a joke, I am a Police Inspector...)

Ciao

This remember me a 
story that happened the day after the explosion of  
the Chernobyl 
nuclear plant: a photographer friend and me went to  
take some photos 
to a nuclear plant near Rome, we didn't had any  
commissions, but we 
were sure that some magazine would buy the  
photos. All the area of 
the plant was limited by high fences, so we  
were walking around to 
find a good place and take some shots with a  
400mm telephoto lens.  A 
police car saw us and we where arrested and  
took to the nearest 
police office. We explain them that we were  
working for a newspaper, 
we gave them the name and number of a  
journalist that was working 
there, police called, the journalist (a  
friend) said that was true, 
we were working for the newspaper, but  
that was not enough. The 
police chief said that they had to  
confiscate all the material. We 
cried that this was against the press  
rights, that we had to work to 
maintain our families (my first son  
was born just some weeks before), 
so police chief explained us that  
they had to see if the photos were 
revealing secrets(?!) or not. So  
he said to give him all the rolls 
(black & white). After one hour a  
policeman came back with the rolls 
perfectly developed. The police  
chief saw our shots (all views of the 
plant where taken from about  
one km of distance...)  and after 
remember us that photographing a  
nuclear plant is forbidden by the 
law, he let us free, and gave back  
all the developed rolls. We where 
so happy! Police worked for us for  
free!
