RE your story about the payout for a CCTV operator sacked amid allegations that close-up pictures taken during a photo-shoot for US artist Spencer Tunick's naked art installation on Tyneside were sold in North-East pubs (Echo, Sept 22).
Once again we have the people who took part on this walk "for the sake of art" bleating about their photographs being passed around.
Nobody forced them to take part in this criminal act of indecent exposure in a public place and what is even worse is that the police allowed it to happen.
The law is the law and should be applied to everyone equally. If the editor of this newspaper walked down his road stark naked (God forbid) he would be arrested and charged.
The failure by the police to prevent the walk on Tyneside has made a mockery of the justice system. How can they now charge an individual when they allowed hundreds to do the same thing?
