Don’t: Crop-Stomp

The average crop field is both sprawling and majestic, which, on paper, makes it perfect selfie fodder. And considering the number of reports out of Canada this summer about selfie-ers trespassing into people’s private canola fields, it looks like at least a handful of Canadians agree. The only problem, as local police were quick to remind residents, is that crops are also food, and pretty expensive food, in fact—one estimated that the damage done by one selfie-r stomping on crops totaled $2,000. These cases, as the same cop pointed out, could also result in a criminal charge for the photographer involved.
