  Yesterday, I was passing by the church and saw a flower near the building . I was trying to take a picture when a man came behind me to ask me something. He simply said " how are you" and stop behind me. I said "good, why? " he then started to speak on his cell phone leaving me be.. so I though he was just a random person asking for direction or something. So I went back to try to take this flower picture with my camera... then he "honked" from his car behind me 3 feet away hurting me ears royally, I then turned around angry and ask him what da hell is wrong ??? He answered " Do you have a permit to take picture of the flower? " I replied " What???" He said again " Do you have a permit to take picture of the flower" I replied back.. WHO ARE YOU? What da hell I need a permit for taking a flower? " ( cuz technically he didin't even introduce himself so it's kinda rude to "not" introduce yourself before starting a conversation with someone you don't know but oh well ) He then got angry and start saying that I have no rights to take pictures of the flower and told me to stop right now because he was the Priest of the church ( ah now he mention it ). I then took off my cell phone started recording the conversation ( I have all evidence on my cell of what happen then ) and asked him again, "why do I need a permit to take a picture of the flower? He then replied "gently" this time that this was a private property and technically, people are not allowed to take picture of someone's else private property.. Then I replied back again... so if this is a private property, do people have to pay to go in your church as member? or is it like all other church when people go inside freely, like any public church ? Then he got confused and started saying that I need a permit and there was a camera up there watching me ( like I care seriously ) I told him I study in Law and i know my rights and there is no such things as needing a permit for taking a flower... then he changed his story again and said.. oh if its just for the flower then your fine... but not the church, do not take picture of the church, I got angry and told him ( again for the 4th time ) that I was aiming at the flower the whole time.. then he said something else that there was a camera so there is no problem and he left whiteout letting me finished my phrase... like rude as hell. I must admit I've been passing by that church on bicycle for many years and always though it was a nice and quiet place with respectable people in there. But after what happen, I am discuss. I even sent a complaint to the administration and Ville de Montreal about this Priest and way of harrassing people trying to take a simple picture of a flower. Oh, I've been aiming at the flower the entire time so I think he though I was trying to take picture of the church as well... but it doesn't matter because a "Public" church remains a "public" entity. Meaning no one needs any permit for taking picture. Maybe he though I was stupid or ignorant because I had a cap ... when In fact, I am a University student with 3 diploma under my belt and engineer as well. I am also an amateur photograph and videographer and professionnal music composer. I am no where near the "ignorant" type of person. As you can see, I take my time to write this because I am ashamed of a Priest acting this way ( Oh My God... if Jesus was here... ) seriously, I've been in churched in 25 years and never... I repeat.....never did any priest treated me this horribly. The Priest in that church is beyond un-educated and their administration need to see what's going on with this... mentality of needing a permit to take picture of a flower... omg... worst nightmare ever. never gonna back to that "sectorial-kinda" church. I wish I could a - 10 for this site. Good luck all.
