Commercial_Development I actually got followed by the guy in that car for several blocks after I took this picture.  Garda security car if you can make it out.  Here is the story I wrote up for a fellow photographer later that evening:

So I just got tailed by a toy cop while I was out for a walk.  It was strange.  I was taking some photos of the Pembina underpass at Jubilee, and he was sitting in a lot near by.  I crossed Pembina and walked back under the underpass and was taking some photos under there cause the light was interesting and a few in his direction too.  You can see his car in one of my shots, but cannot really make anything out beyond that.  I stayed under the underpass for a bit playing with the light.  Anyways I come out from under the underpass (I was on the pedestrian corridor the whole time so not just sneaking around where I should not be) and then he is sitting at Fountain Tire at Pembina and Jubilee.  I walk past him, kept my distance a bit cause I did not want to have to talk to him.  At this point I was not sure if he was actually following me, or if it was a different guy or what.  So I keep trucking down Pembina, and about 4 blocks up he pops out of a street and turns driving my way.  Sees me, and then pulls a u-turn to head further down Pembina.  I see him pull into a lot behind some parked cars.  After I got past him close to home, I decided I would keep going cause I did not need him following me to my front door.  I got to Pembina and McGillvary and he passes me again.  He kept going and went around the bend there and I could not see him.  I walked a few more blocks out of curiosity to see if he was going to pop out.  Went about 5 more and did not see him, so I cut back into residential and weaved my way home.  Strange experience though.  One thing is for sure, he is not very good about following someone unnoticed. =P

My first run in with security.  More annoying than anything.  Apparently he did not have the balls to confront me, but was just fine following me for about half an hour.
