    They don't look particularly worried and the cop on the left seems to be laughing. Good title.

    Funny shot Rainbow and way to get so close to the action.

    I'm enjoying the laugh on the cop, makes me wonder about the "joke" or who he's talking too.
    I like that you caught the female undercover/plainclothes jotting things down.

    The cuffed guy in the middle seems to be sharing the same joke as the cop, or looking at the same thing anyway.

    Love the shot Rainbow.

    Is someone getting punked in this shot? Laughing.gif

    Thanks, everyone.

    This was a walk-by shooting (by me with the camera, not by the cuffed subjects). I was approaching the scene and without breaking stride, turned the camera on, set aperture to f/5.6, and took the shot from the hip with the camera slung over one shoulder. That is a tremendous benefit of shooting at 17mm.

    The officer on the left is speaking with another cop. But the lamppost is between them, so I cropped it out (which probably makes it better even if no post is there).

    I did not stop to shoot because this was taken in Canada, and I was not familiar with whether there were any restrictions on shooting such a scene. Five minutes later when I returned, they were gone.

    Canada!?! They arrest people in Canada?! I thought they just said 'have a good day, eh,' smiled, and sent them on their way. That's what's so great about Dgrin - you learn something new every day... :-)

    The arresting cops smile and say, "Have a good day, eh!" when the paddy wagon departs:giggle
