Another reminder that other developed countries are not like US. On intellectual level and as a hobby street photographer these restrictions sound ridiculous to me. But I went to Japan recently and the place is so safe you can give kids some cash and take them to take subway anywhere they want / ask anyone for help if they get lost. I am sure this degree of safety comes with tradeoffs to many kinds of freedom, but at the same time it constitutes its own very important freedom. Let different countries be and let them learn from each other's experience?
