Once he refused, they changed the law they were citing him, and arrested him. It's pure and unadulterated bullshit.


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.

I bet you get stopped 6 individual times.

Stick it to em!

@ 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.
