Police used terror legislation to stop ex-RAF engineer in Kidlington

A MAN who photographed police while he was on a trip to buy fish and chips was searched under legislation designed to stop al-Qaeda bombers.

Stephen Russell, 59, spotted police swarming Kidlington High Street and, as he had his camera with him, he took four photos because it was unusual to see so much action in the centre of the village.

It names Pc Steve Burchett as using Section 43 legislation to carry out the search at 5pm on Wednesday, February 17.

In December Andy Trotter, chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers’ Media Advisory Group, wrote to all forces to urge common sense when using the legislation, pointing out everyone has a right to take photos in public places.

    Stamford police officer denied workman’s compensation claim in chimp attack

    Contributed photo of Travis the chimp as he approaches a Stamford Police car....

    McDonald said he was contacted by the Stamford Police Association about six months ago and told the officer’s application for workman’s compensation following the use of deadly force was denied by the city because current statutes only apply to a police shooting of a person threatening an officer with serious injury or death.

    Running around the streets in combat gear, waving around glittery hairdryers and claiming to be ‘dork hunters’, they couldn’t fail to attract attention.

    Now anti-terror police stop children’s TV stars… for carrying glittery hairdryers

    Photography - Not A Crime

    Increasing concerns about terrorism, paedophilia, health and safety, personal privacy and plain old paranoia about pretty much anything Her Majesty’s subjects get up to has resulted in a deep mistrust of photographers.

    Amplify’d from safetyphoto.wordpress.com
    In response to continued harassment of photographers by the police, the British Journal of Photography (BJP) has launched a campaign entitled, ‘Not A Crime’.

    Police routinely invoke anti-terror legislation to prevent photographers from carrying out their work, and photojournalists are constantly filmed at public gatherings and their details kept on an ever-growing database. Tourists, particularly foreign tourists, are also targeted by police, as was the case with an Austrian father and son recently who made the mistake of photographing a building of an extremely sensitive nature—Walthamstow bus station.
    Put simply, Britain has become a no-photo zone, and so if you fail to comply, you may find yourself liable to attack, arrest or harassment. Recognising that Britain is not the only country where such a draconian anti-photographer culture is developing, the British Journal of Photography is beginning an international visual campaign to raise awareness.
