Man Arrested For Taking Photo of Open ATM

net_shaman writes in with word of a Seattle man who was arrested for taking a photo of an ATM being serviced. “Today I was shopping at the downtown Seattle REI. I was about to buy a Thule hitch mount bike rack. They were out of the piece that locks the bike rack into the hitch. So I was in the customer service line to special order one. It was a long line and while I was waiting, I saw two of guys (employees of Loomis, as I later learned) refilling the ATM. I walked over and took a picture with my iPhone of them and more interestingly of the open ATM. I took the picture because I’m fascinated by the insides of things that we don’t normally get to see. … That was when Officer GE Abed (#6270) spun me around and put handcuffs on me.”
