Clearly this is where the issue is because his definition of 'not doing anything wrong' and the police's (and the people who complained to the police) seems to be different. I wasn't there so can't comment, but I was there the week before and I was taking lots of pictures. Not once did I get stopped and questioned because I was clearly doing nothing wrong.
Now, the man in question may not have been doing anything wrong by his definition but clearly he aroused suspicion so must have been doing something for that to happen.
If he had simply given his name and address, the police would have checked him out and would probably have let him just carry on along on his way without any further issue. But, because he refused to give his name and address he then aroused more suspicion.
