I remember reading in News Photographer about a newspaper photographer 
(he's no photojournalist!) who asked some guy in a four-wheel-drive vehicle 
to drive through flooded water under a bridge several times to get a 
picture of him splashing away. The last time through, the water flooded, 
and ruined, the engine. The driver sent the bill to the paper for the 
engine replacement . That got the photographer in big trouble!
