Hi,
I realise it won't do any good..... :-(
just wanted to draw the attention of UK members to the petition on photo
restrictions in the latest counter terrorism diktat -
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Photorestrict/
"On the 16th of February, the Government passed a law (in the Counter
Terrorism Act) making it illegal to take a photograph of a police
office, military personnel or member of the intelligence services - or a
photograph which "may be of use for terrorism". This definition is vague
at best, and open to interpretation by the police - who under Home
Secretary guidelines can "restrict photography in public places". We
call for these vague restrictions to be lifted, as they can easily be
mis-used by the police."
Only takes a minute or so to sign up... should you wish to......
Regards - Martyn Smoothy
