ArmA Devs Arrested in Greece

This just in from sunny Greece. Two members of the ArmA development team, Bohemia Interactive, were arrested by the Greek authorities on charges of espionage, the studio has confirmed. Two Czech devs were caught when they were taking photographs and making videos of local military camps on the island of Lemnos, as reported by News247.
The photographs were meant to be used to help the development of ArmA 3, which was their explanation (and, clearly it didn't work).
"This is true," says Bohemia Interactive's Marek Spanel via the company's official forum. "We prefer this topic not to be discussed on our forums at the moment, at least until we know more specific details about the case."
Having been charged with spying, the two devs were threatened with a 20-year maximum prison sentence. They were incarcerated for six weeks, after which they were released on a £9000 bail.

reminds me of my country, one of the few places on the planet where stealing poultry from the mayor's backyard is treason compared to child rape.
i would sell my soul, my blood, my sperm for just 1 nuclear bomb. this moment, right now.
see, neither god nor satan exists.
Isn't Greece a really terrible place right now (although I've heard it's been a fairly shitty place for a while, politically/economically)?
Now get outta the country while you can, devs! Get to tha choppaaa!
There's a thousand different scenarios in which horrible things could happen without such laws. You might say "It's Greece, no one gives a shit about Greece, why spy on them", but that's narrow-thinking. Espionage is only one concern among many. What if some crazy asshole decides he wants to steal some high-grade military weapons or whatever, and he's casing the joint? Pinch a tank from the base and take it down central avenue during rush hour? Or on another tack, what if the troops are doing live-fire exercises? Weapons testing? Can't have civilians possibly strolling about anywhere nearby, can you?
With such potential for catastrophe, it should go without saying that the only way to ensure people properly stay the fuck way for everyone's safety is to make the punishment for trespassing very nasty. And not only were these chucklefucks trespassing, they were taking PICTURES! Their idiocy is stunning, and they deserve whatever happens to them.
I'm not sure what an 'anti-terror military base' exactly entails, but if it was near your town, it sounds as if it probably wasn't a major zone of operations.
