"'Authority' paranoia over photography in London" - Y/T

Deanosays...

Important video for everyone to watch. Interesting that the cop in this case was of Chinese origin - he's probably primed to self-destruct if he allows too much democracy.
Happy ending though, as he wanders off agitated. Plus we learn, once again, that photography in public places is not illegal.

Moving this video to NordlichReiter's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I saw this a while back when I was confirming my rights as a photographer.

I feel it's important to point out the same thing as the YT poster did... this is a Community Support Officer (CSO), and not a Police officer.

This will give you some idea why this particular CSO has no idea what the law is..

The whole double-standard is that suspicion falls on people who have decent SLR cameras, whilst people with camera phones or 'point and click' style cameras are ignored... the assumption seems to be that paedophiles and terrorists try to be as obvious as possible.
