No. I don't think it's rude. There are many people doing just what you said. I was a professional photographer for 12 yrs and I always protected my work.
My son, a Coast Guard pilot is stationed there now. He is getting close to retirement though. I lived there for 33 yrs and after retirement moved to the San Antonio area.
Where did you find " Always a Cop?" Retired after 27 yrs as a cop in Corpus Christi, Texas. It's awesome. Thanks for putting it on.
