As of Monday, amendments to the Counter Terrorism Act will make it illegal to photograph the police, if the product of the photography is "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

just going to keep getting worse. I hate it how all theses laws are being slipped in under anti terrorist laws. Why the fuck arn't you allowed to photograph police and how is it suppose to stop terrorists .

Maybe if people hadn't made such a point about it "hahah we can film you, and you can't do fuck all about it" to wind up the fuzz, then posting it on youtube/flickr etc.

This is purely to stop the police, consistently losing face on camera, they now have legislation to back them up.

Bad news, but definately a product of people pushing the limits.

No arguments here, fuck them. I have zero respect for the modern day police service.

But stick a camera in the average persons face and see how long they tolerate it. We treat the police as they are some kind of superbeings, completely infallible. Of course, arguably they should be, but the reality is (and proven time after time) they are just minority group and graduate muppets, just as prone to losing their rag as the next person.

They invent some legislation to stop them looking so fucking hopeless, what a surprise eh?

Erm, I fail to see how filming the police fucking about, lying, committing offences themselves is pushing the limits. They chose to be a police 'officer' and so they chose to adhere to the law and be responsible, if they screw up and they get filmed or photographed doing it then who the hell are they to complain. If they can't do their job properly then they shouldn't be doing it at all.

A law like this would not stop me from photographing police and it shouldn't stop anyone else, how are they going to prove that it is of help to terrorists? If all the video shows is a copper and his related fuckup then pictures of coppers are available anywhere so that's not new and him fucking up is of no concern to terrorists.

There's a point where all these so called laws get so ridiculous they're not worth adhering to, this is one of them, there'll be lots more. Besides how does this law work when it comes to CCTV cameras, they'll be filming the police all the time, so does that make every CCTV operator a criminal.

Funnily enough I watched (the latest live action version of) Animal Farm last night.

In some ways it was more powerful then the cartoon one, because it really did lay on the sickening warping of facts to mislead the proles.

Rang a lot of bells sadly.

As has been very astutely noted, police used to be able to get away with everything, now they are getting filmed and they are finding it hard to do their job 'properly'. Bah, I give up with this country.

Could you still take pics which don't identify them? Like their crotch/arse/tits/back of the head.

Surely that would be ok, and REALLY annoying.

The following ratios were compiled using data from 2004 National Safety Council (NSC) Estimates, a report based on data from The National Center for Health Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, 2003 mortality data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) was used.

I bet the producers of 'Night Cops', 'Road Cops' and 'Sky Cops' must be shitting themselves....
