This seems to be what Greenpeace was doing and hired that photographer to help them do. If they were standing on the sidewalk and doing and photographing the protest there would be no question. Apparently, and this wasn't clear in the article, they were somewhere where civilians were not supposed to be. The exact nature of their "crime" is a little unclear. I'm not a Greenpeace supporter but these at least are the facts as I see them.
