If you were posting this on Petapixel with a little blurb about being harassed then I'd agree with you. But you wrote this article with a civil liberties bent (that I wholly agree with), so while I'm happy you weren't arrested I'm not sure the 'core' of the story is you took a picture and didn't get thrown in jail for it. It's more like you took a picture and had to fear you were going to go to jail for it.
