"A mass photo event" outside New Scotland Yard in response to a part of the 'Counter-Terrorism Act'.

From 16th February 2009, anyone taking a photograph of a police officer could be deemed to have committed a criminal offence.

That is because of a new law - Section 76 of the Counter Terrorism Act - which has come into force.

It permits the arrest of anyone found "eliciting, publishing or communicating information" relating to members of the armed forces, intelligence services and police officers, which is "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

That means anyone taking a picture of one of those people could face a fine or a prison sentence of up to 10 years, if a link to terrorism is proved.

The law has angered photographers, both professional and amateur, who fear it could exacerbate the harassment they already sometimes face.

  • Elementary etc... and pay @tention to detail....as I have oft heard said, amazing Holmes!! ;-j

  • The audio in this one reminds me of: "Warriors! Come out to play-ay!"

    On topic: It's high time the fascists of the world were put in place once and for all.

    Glad that ordinary people are finally speaking up and taking to the streets

    The music IS taken from The Warriors film and with good reason, for it is '"on topic". We were a 'gang' ; we were 'The Photographers' lol gathering together with one common purpose ☺

    "Glad that ordinary people are finally speaking up and taking to the streets" ~ Unfortunately, not many people seem to know about this latest change in the law? So far it has had very little exposure in the media that I am aware of?

  • Absolutely. And in case things don't work out with witnesses, there's a helping hand on the bench. Ah, those maggots in black suits!!!

    I think we should welcome the fall of capitalism, for this will wake up sheeple and they'll join. Otherwise, see what awaits us?

    ELGROOVER, you're doing a wonderful job.

  • What happens if you take a picture of someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture of a policeman? -Are you guilty of a mass conspiracy to carry out a terrorist event?

    What if your mind is a camera?

    What if you have a photographic memory?

    "Personally Im dubious about vaccinations...etc.." So am I, for the same reasons th@ you st@e. (I take it you haven't read the 'proposal' to which I referred)?

    "Lord Sutch is dead (RIP) but the time for that sort of 'joking' is long past!" Yes, he is ; no it isn't nor will it ever be! I w@ch the FKN NEWZ, theOnion and humour is sometimes all th@ keeps me from total despair.

    I have just read the "MfSS Philosophical Basis" and bookmarked the page to return. Very interesting it is ☺

  • People are waking up!

    While the Green Party may not be perfect they are the only party who fight for 'inclusive bottom up politics' & the only party NOT in the pockets of the Corporations & are always very vocal whenever corporate abuses lead to our liberties being eroded.

    The Mfss is constantly evolving.

    Personally Im dubious about vaccinations because both the 'ingredients' & the 'science' behind them are suspect!

    Lord Sutch is dead (RIP) but the time for that sort of 'joking' is long past!
