[Oldboy]

My God. They stopped him again.

This time he was actually doing a shoot for the Cadet organization.

His card had been marked!

I agree Oldboy, he is going to be watched.

I find the whole thing quite disgusting to be honest. Our photographic rights are being sold down the river on the grounds of terrorism. And then they let a car drive down every street in Britain [and Europe etc] and post it on the web for every nutter to see.

Hey, I used that to look at my Grannie's old house in Clydebank!

Most interesting, but at the same time, most worrying.
"Lip service" is the phrase that seems to come to mind after reading and watching the comment.

I have never had a problem here in Lancashire with street photography but having supplied the local police force with local pictures for their police stations I keep a copy of an e.mail from the local Chief Supperintendant requesting my services in my camera bag just in case. On one occasion while waiting to photograph Princess Ann leaving a local charity we were asked / instructed by a police officer not to photograph her getting into her car which would be picking her up directly in view of a pub called the Old Dog.....
