200 named well known photographers is a good number. With publicity there may be others joining in. Lots of London based amateur photographers who have been on demonstrations taking pictures may well identify with the problem and turn up if they are free then.
It is also ten times the number of Anarchists who met recently for their advertised meeting at Conway Hall.
I did wince a bit at the NUJ website headline Photographers Snap into Action Over New Law though. Why do journalists have to do that?

Because you take a picture of the security services you are now guilty of some crime not yet committed? You take a picture of a Policeman that is later involved in a terrorist incident and you are now a suspect - insanity! GoogleEarth and Flickr are more useful to terrorists than photographing the Police! The targets access roads, buildings and escape routes can all be obtained without ever having to visit an actual location. The Orwellian vision is slowly becoming a reality what next Thought Police but hang on a minute we already have them trying to control Muslim free speech.

Not only that but you are not allowed to photograph anyone working for the Security Services or the Armed Forces, or who has ever worked for the armed forces.
This means that you dare not photograph anyone who is over 80 because they might have been active in the Second World War. Come to think of it there is also a massive number of men who were conscripted into the armed services during the 1950s. so that probably covers anyone of about 70 years old.
If someone points a camera at me I shall tell them to desist because I used to work for MI5 and they will be breaking this new law. probably

Does that include cadet youth organizations?
So potential terrorist will be able to look at video footage of potential targets courtesy of Sky and the BBC and even iPlayer while individuals will not be able to point cameras at anybody for fear of being arrested
. I thinking of signing up to Freedom Revolution Army - is this how the IRA started
