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?

Our politicians have assured us several times that, except for some very
specific and exceptional circumstances, photography is still perfectly
legal. 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.

Under New Labour, being in Britain is a criminal activity.

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.
