Firstly, why are you taking things so personally?

To the evidence, it's literally all over the article, from the title even!

P.E.I. photographer handcuffed, fined after taking pictures of Quebec City's iconic Château Frontenac

John Morris, a professional photographer from P.E.I., said he was trying to get the perfect shot of the iconic hotel when police approached him.

A professional photographer from Charlottetown, P.E.I., has been fined $230 for "loitering" while he was taking pictures of Quebec City's iconic Château Frontenac hotel.

I'm not a professional photographer, but it would seem that someone in the process of taking photos, would probably have to have their equipment out. Perhaps even the equipment that he showed off for that photo in the same article. 😀

You're just mad for no reason. Relax.
