London cops declare war on photography

https://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/04/london-cops-declare.html

"London's Metropolitan police has launched a new counter-terrorism PR campaign complete with anti-photography propaganda. The campaign is meant to encourage people to turn in 'odd' seeming people that they see taking photographs."

Rolling Eyes

Suspect everyone, terrorists are everywhere, they hate your freedom so we're taking it first, complaining? Al-CIAda are we?

etc, etc...

Quite a good idea on the comments area of that page

"If the London police force wants reports of people taking pictures, acting "unusual" in their own homes, or using cell phones, then give them some. Better yet, give them lots. Put the number on speed dial and report EVERY person you see on a cell phone, using a digicam, or doing pretty much anything in their home. A couple dozen calls a day from a few thousand concerned citizens and they will probably change their tactics."

Get on it Kris! Very Happy

Apparently the police have asked people to report any 'suspicious people using more than one mobile phone'.

And I have a personal mobile, a work mobile and a work BlackBerry.

I *must* be a terrorist! Surprised

I've got three communication devices. I've got a computer. I spend long hours in my garage. I take photos.

I might as well phone the anti terrorist hotline right now. Rolling Eyes

"Let experienced officers decide what action to take".

Like pump a few bullets into somebody's head. Experienced officers? 99% of them couldn't find their way out of a lit tunnel with radar and a fvcking map.

I swear they must have a special PR department, 'How To Make the Met Police Look and Sound like Utter Twats'.

Been adverts saying the same thing about people taking suspicious pictures on the local commercial radios for over a year now in the Midlands. Its nothing new and a good idea, there is nothing to worry about.

Thumbs Down

Only the country being turned into the Nazi state, with everyone held in a state of constant fear checking everyone out for suspicious activity...

Nowt to worry about at all...

I like to take pictures of the police. They hate it big-time.

If they object tell them you will be happy to supply them with a copy for a small charge of £10 in accordance with the Data Protection Act if they so request.

I'd like to do that , but I'm almost ALWAYS sat on the bike when I witness general infractions of the law, like when I don't let them out of a junction on go the blue lights...

I take a photo I get done for using a phone while driving +3 points.

I've always wanted to walk up to a parked police car at night and shine a torch into the car, ask to see some ID because a car matching their description has been seen driving road the area and acting suspicious Razz Thumbs Up

Next they'll be saying bikers could be potential terrorists because you can't indentify them.
They will make it law to not wear a helmet, the helmet law will still be in place, the health and saftey nerds will cry and the system and the planet will fold in on it's self.

Thats what i think anyway
