Default Brighton WNBR

Once again Brighton shows it true colours with their anti photography campaign.
One rider pictured below was targeting all photographers with a camera any bigger than a cell phone.
He actually stopped just after he passed me, then aimed his super soaker gun directly at my camera and lens, this was not just a quick squirt it was prolonged, and aimed directly at the camera, of course as I moved towards him, he rode off.
I have heard of a number of photographers also having the same problem, and at least one made a complaint to the police.
The first picture below is mine, and the 2nd is from another photographer in a different location.

I hope that the organisers don't condone this attempt at criminal damage.
