  • New Scotland Yard Photographers Protest Today

    New Scotland Yard Photographers Protest TodayThere’s been a lot of concern in the UK about members of the public and journalists being restricted in where and what they can take photographs of in public places.

    Where previously there hasn’t been any significant limitations, there is now much concern that the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 contains a clause that allows for the arrest of people taking photos “likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.”

    A definition that broad could lead to any photographer being arrested.

    It’s a service that lets you write and post short messages that other people can read online or on their mobile devices.
