The law and pictures - sigh!

Some of you may realise that now, that Anyone taking a photograph of a police officer is in danger of being arrested on the account of committing an offence under section 76 of the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 which provides:

A person commits an offence who elicits or attempts to elicit information about an individual who is or has been
(i) a member of Her Majesty’s forces
(ii) a member of any of the intelligence services, or
(iii) a constable, which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism

The offender could face a fine or even imprisonment if a link to terrorism is proved.

The result is that amateur and professional photographers could be asked to explain why they are taking photographs, if the circumstances are deemed suspicious.

So rather than have a go at anyone, here’s some more pictures I’ve taken that are completely free of charge – all I ask is that you mention my name, like when using flickr.
