While there, he seated his son on a coin-operated train ride and snapped a photo of him with his cameraphone. At this point, a Bridges security guard came by and ordered him to stop taking pictures. He said that it was mall policy, and implied that Kevin was taking pictures because he was a paedophile. Kevin told him that this was ridiculous and took his son to find his wife and get out of the mall. He also took a picture of the security guard &#8220;so that if I later wanted to make a complaint to the centre I would be able to identify him.&#8221;<br \/>\nOutside of the mall, Kevin was stopped by a police constable who had received a complaint from mall security that a suspicious potential paedophile had been taking pictures on its premises. The PC threatened to arrest Kevin &#8220;for creating a public disturbance&#8221; and ordered him to delete the photo of his son. The PC also averred that the Bridges Shopping Centre is a hotbed of paedophile assaults.<br \/>\nvia <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2010\/02\/24\/mall-security-guard.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader\">Mall security guard accuses shopper of being a paedophile for photographing his own son Boing Boing<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The paranoioa that is British Security Over Reaction.
