Bad analogy. If you were doing what you said, but instead of taking notes, you were using a camera, you'd quickly get a visit from the UW Special Constable Service who'd probably transfer you to WRPS.

EDIT: Even if you were just taking notes on people, it's possible you'd experience the same process.
