Just to show how times and attitudes have changed. In the 60's I was a teenager. After winning a beauty competition, at 16, a newspaper reported, along with a bikini clad photo, that I was about to join the police cadets. Soon after joining I was asked if I would do some calendar shots by one of the police photographers. I said I would, (but only in a swimming costume
.
One week, on the front page of the county's newspaper, there was a picture of me and a married police constable, walking through the towns park, on duty and in uniform, apparently holding hands. A caption underneath did report that the camera does lie and that we were not holding hands.
I mention these two stories because no-one complained about either, not me, my parents, the police force, the married officer nor his wife. Nor did I sue for harrassment every time some cheeky copper made comments about my figure or tried to touch inappropriately.I was flattered and laughed. I imagine things would be very different now. This showed when people thought I was brave asking to take photos of the police speed camera for my 52 recently.
