confrontation seems likely to develop over an observed or imminent illegal
activity the images can be quickly emailed to a distant trusted friend. The
actual or potential offender is perhaps more likely to back off when made
aware of the fact that the phone images have already been sent elsewhere and
that the activity is in fact illegal. However it may be difficult to
preserve anonymity and the risk of future retribution for 'dobbing' may
influence decisions.

talk of recreational hunting in NPs is a great worry.
