The MET says this
"Guidance around the issue has been made clear to officers and PCSOs through briefings and internal communications
The following advice is available to all officers and provides a summary of the Metropolitan
Police Service’s guidance around photography in public places"

Freedom to photograph/film
"Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel."




On a side note
How about a OCUK photo meet and see what happens :D

Well said.

Some of the police need to go back to police training school IMO!

How about the right to damn privacy? Do photographers care about that - dont think so. He's taking snaps of strangers going about their business? kids as well? Glad he was detained, he's a muppet - well done Kent police :)

Newsflash, you have no right to privacy in a public place.

And what about kids? Do you mean you let yours out of the house? How irresponsible are you, any sick deviant could be looking at them :eek: If you're letting them out of the house without a full length sack over the head (for the sprint from the safety of the car to the house) you deserve everything you get.
 
I get the feeling the guy is one of these hippie but not a hippie type of guys who just likes to push the boundries,(like in school where you would always get one boy or girl who would answer back to the teacher)

He could have been a pervert taking pictures of young girls for all they knew.
He must have been approached by the two civilians for a reason? Obviously he's not going to tell you is he?

Incidents like this are reported to the press more and usually without the full facts. I haven't seen any evidence that the policy have become even more remotely facist. If anything, political correctness combined with the Human Rights Act suggests precisely the opposite.

And he was clearly masturbating too, whilst programming an anti-infadel device ready for detonation, whilst queing for his benefits.

There are always 2 sides to every story but this one seems pretty open and shut from my eyes. Not everyone is telling a lie or trying to spin things, this is a photographer being screwed over by some tards who are glorified traffic wardens with the ability to call the police.
