I'm sure I have at some point, but I don't need to have been there to know I don't agree with your "Forrest Recon" practices. If you witness someone committing a crime, then absolutely document, if safe to do so, but snapping photos "just in case", absolutely absurd.
I don't mean to sound rude, but tell that to the person who was shot in the forest a few weeks back off Rampart Range Road when nobody stood up like a man.
