Actually they didn't change the law, they simply found one that fit the occasion... there is a difference. |
Well that's exactly what I meant. |

Yup, I like how they all of a sudden had some `complaints` from members of the public that his behaviour was anti-social..
It makes me want to go out in London this weekend with my camera just to see how many times I can get stopped and searched.. I'm not scared of getting a tug from the old bill. I'd relish the showdown. |

@  Simms Okay, for those with a bit of rebel in them. And who doesn't have at least a little of Walter Mitty in them? How about a London GTG at the Gherkin, or the Docklands, or Number 10, or some other site with lots and lots of security cameras. Say 20-30 DPC'ers all snapping away. It would be worth the flight to play. And we Yanks know a little about rebellion.
@ RayEthier I think that's the technique they used to finally convict Al Capone.
@ Art Roflmao I know we share a hyphenated middle name ... anti-social. This could be fun!
In all seriosity ... this anti-foto-terrorism pap has simply gone too far! This sort of thing happens all too often in the US and I'm ashamed of it. Now I learn it's happening in UK. |
