Since then, I have trouble using my camera in public just incase anybody thinks i'm a perv.

I was fine and didn't think nothing of taking photos of the public and their surrounding, I love candid shots of real people getting on with real life, and not putting a face on for the camera. But now, i'm just too paranoid, so haven't taken any pictures for ages. Apart from the odd few with my mobile phone.
I know how you feel.
I just bought a new zoom and then thought why did I bother!
I mean, there's legally nothing to stop me putting the cam on a tripod in the middle of Market St and shooting away. But paranoia plays a big part - you're not on your own there.
