The central story raises a few eyebrows (and journos have probably written it to do so; I'm not sure if we're getting the whole picture).

 

But, is it usual for shopping centres to have a "No Photography" policy? Why would they do that? It sounds like yet another blanket rule to protect against a perceived (and not necessarily real) risk of litigation. Bizarre.

The shopping centre's spokesperson seems to be self contradictory, obviously a politician in the making :)

 

 

"We have a 'no photography' policy in the centre to protect the privacy of staff and shoppers and to have a legitimate opportunity to challenge suspicious behaviour if required.

"However, it is not our intention to - and we do not - stop innocent family members taking pictures."

I assume by that statement your are guilty until proven innocent?

Clearly a paedo, taking photos of his own child, actually licking an ice cream, on a pink Vespa. Its some sort of sick Lolita thing going on, did Sara Payne die for nothing? They should string him up in a gibbet, in the shopping centre so that his entrails dangle out, dripping bodily fluids onto the floor (with those little yellow plastic "slip hazard" signs of course, can't compromise H&S rules).

When I was working, back in the Education sector, I took some photos of completed Nursery projects I had designed, some of them had kids already in them, playing.

 

I've just been outside and put my own windows through.

You deviant. I bet you go shopping in shopping centres too, and see shoppers doing their shopping. I think that's disgusting.

There's load of stiff about this all over the web (plenty on Youtube and Pistonheads).

 

I think it may be true that you can be prevented from taking photographs on private property, but the police were talking rubbish when they mentioned the anti-terrorism act.

 

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/photographers-criminalised-as-police-abuse-antiterror-laws-1228149.html

 

...according to the Association of Chief Police Officers, the law is straightforward. "Police officers may not prevent someone from taking a photograph in public unless they suspect criminal or terrorist intent. Their powers are strictly regulated by law and once an image has been recorded, the police have no power to delete or confiscate it without a court order. This applies equally to members of the media seeking to record images, who do not need a permit to photograph or film in public places.".

 

 

 

 

I suppose we should be grateful that we didn't just copy the US Patriot Act. He could have found himself wearing an orange jumpsuit and locked in a cage on the Isle of Wight.

Mr White said that one officer claimed that under the Prevention of Terrorism Act he was within in his rights to confiscate the mobile phone on which the photos were taken.

 

We only have Mr White's word that they said this. If they did, then you have a valid point, but whether we should believe him over the other lot I don't know.

 

 

 

I think thats what they were worried about.

 

:rlol:
