These days photographers are regularly arrested and even charged for,
well, taking photos. Has photography become a criminal activity? What are members of the public allowed to photograph and what not? It seems to be very much at the arbitrary whim of PC Plodd. How can we get the law clarified? |

Unfortunately, this message does not seem to have been communicated to the police. Maybe it would be helpful if a very high-ranking member of the government (like the Prime Minister) were to make a statement clarifying the situation. The problem is, in the present political climate, I doubt if anyone would believe them. |

When the police can't actually find any of the NuLabs hyped bogeymen (peedyphiles and terrorists) they have to make do with persecuting anyone showing vaguely similar behaviour. Armed by NuLab with an arsenal of ridiculous legislation they can persecute anyone they like. -- |
