Considering the intellectual capabilities of the cops that have stopped me in the UK in the last few years, being conspicuous makes no difference. Waving at the boys buzzing us in the helicopters did not prevent being stopped and detained by heavily armed officers for a considerable amount of time.
Seriously, if the cops want to start taking this issue seriously, then it is about time that they learnt that photography CAN (and does) involve more thann taking holiday snapshots of drunken friends on holiday. This would then enable them to have a chance of determining if someone is acting strangley.
After all, odd is only defined by one's own terms of reference.
