"...they said the way he was positioning his camera could have been construed as anti-social" ... what? not by the looks of the shots they showed... ridiculous..
I am wondering if anyone from the site here was in London a few weeks back for that massive protest of photographers fed up with this very issue... thousands turned out to voice the concern I'm sure a lot of us have, but seems despite nation-wide news coverage that the protest fell on deaf ears.
From talking to friends around the world I understand it has now become international news how pissed off we all are in the UK at the erosion of our privacy... and in this clip (in spite of their politeness) was a prime example of the typical choice of the inexperienced officers to pick on the easier (polite, law abiding) targets. I feel rather sick.
