Freedom of the Photographer

I had not heard of that Woo. Thats disgraceful.

I only wish the police and justice system would spent as much time chasing criminals as they spend chasing the victims of crime and innocent bystanders. But then in fairness to them, they may be trying to protect themselves because if they are seen speaking sternly to a criminal they themselves can be sued.

I think Law and Order has got into a terrible mess. I am still waiting for someone to elect a Common Sense party to power.

 

Maybe send this link to him before you go speak to him so he has time to view it...or if possible...view it together with him...http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/video/2010/feb/21/police-arrest-photographer then ask his thoughts on it?

A question I would dealrly like answered is "With the proliferation of camera phones on the market, why is it always DSLR camera users that are stopped and asked for details under the terrorism act? Do terrorists not use mobile phones, but prefer to use big cameras, lens and tripods...you know..really draw attention to themselves?
