When confronted, just move on. Good manners dictates that when the police officer asked him to quit filming him that he stop. If this was the Tibetan riots then different rules apply; this guy was just filming stock footage on the streets. Starting up again in ten minutes would not have changed his images. The Ted Grant rules apply if you want a long healthy career in photography. Walk softly but carry a heavy M on a strap.
