Most professional photographers are well capable of looking after themselves, and not averse to, um, engineering an incident to land Plod deep in the mire.
But I'm really worried about photography students. My daughter took photography A level, and was frequently sent out on assignments. What will today's 16/17 year olds do when faced with some CPSO fuckwit (I suspect that most real police officers over the age of 25 will have more sense than to abuse this) with an inflated sense of their own importance (practically a prerequisite for being a PCSO).

back on the other side
Not to dismiss your point, but you are missing the point - demos/actions consist of every memeber of the public being filmed from helicopters, from FIT teams, and from general plod - the one 'balance' to all this is that police can be filmed back. It is an important level of protection against police brutality. This is the peeling back of yet another level of basic human rights in the country - im sick to my stomach
As to the idea that most police over 25 wont abuse this you're tripping - all police already believe that they arent allowed to be filmed - go up to a copper with a camera and see what happens

Now that most folk have cameras on their phones, I suppose the cops are finding it far too inconvenient that people can record their own .
Nah, as a rule the cops like to confiscate any such evidence and refuse to let anyone use it in their defence, still less to lodge a compaint against the pigs.
Up to ten years in stir for taking a photo of a pig? That's not a very clever law is it? Because you're basically saying that you'll get a similar sentence for being a vigilant member of the public keen to keep tabs on our faithful public servants as for taking a blunt instrument to the skull of said faithful public servant. And only one of those options will make you a hero on the inside.
For ten years in prison I'd make damn sure I got my money's worth put it like that.

Posting that probably would qualify as terrorism to be fair.

Well I have a press card and a collection of video cameras with very long zoom lenses, and in future I will be sending the video signal wirelessly to a recorder concealed in a backpack worn by someone else.
This is not going to achieve anything apart from encourage more people like me to videotape the filth when they go about breaking the law, or use hidden cameras.
Anti-social behavior should be documented and dealt with, preferably with a short sharp shock.
It's the only way these thugs will learn.
You can buy these for £20, and they're invisible if worn properly.

I know at least one person who would be in prison for attempted murder if it hadn't been for someone taking pictures that revealed in court that the police were lying. It is my opinion that no free country would attempt to supress images of law enforcement officers going about their duty. As far as I'm concerned the police state is now here. My co-operation is at an end. It is war.

Shit! I have a pic of PBP and Sir ian Blair (and Stobart) stuck onto my kitchen door.....am I going to have to become a fugitive from justice? There's a drawing pin holding it up...offensive weapon?

What you say is definitely true in London, and probably every other major city. I'm thinking of the rest of the country, which is where what I'm saying about the over 25s holds true. I have a lot of professional experience of plod, so I do know what I'm talking about. But I also know that the Met is about as reliable as a Vatican-endorsed condom - my sister used to work for them, and the horror stories she can tell are, to put it mildly, disturbing.
This is a stupid law. It'll be interesting to see what happens the first time it's tested in front of a jury, especially if the judge is not unsympathetic. Which, despite what most here might think, is more likely to be the case.

Surely this goes against European Human Rights anyway?
I doubt this law is going to get very far.
Us Brits might be all to willing to bend over and play the lottery and watch fucking Eastenders and pretend everything is OK but at least some of our European cousins have got more bollocks.

Aye. Perhaps it's time for a few fucking riots. Brixton nick could do with a makeover for a start.

Yet another law hinging on...
"likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism"
Lets have a quick look round the room..
Mobile phone so they can coordinate the attack.
Laptop so they can arrange the attack by email (with unregistered mobile internet modem).
Fag lighter for lighting fuses.
Map of Hull for choosing target.
Oyster card for transport to targets in the capital.
USB memory sticks. Ideal for storing guides to holy war.
Food, crockery, cutlery etc. Even a terrorist has to eat.
Cameras for reconnaissance missions.
Hard drive full of music. Ideal for relaxing after a hard night's bomb making.
Dogs. Ideal for distracting sniffer dogs.
Wallet. Ideal for carrying money for public transport to get to and from the planned atrocity.
Bank card. Perfect for buying that tonne of fertiliser.
Paper. Ideal for sketching maps of target.
Pen. As above.
Is there anything that isn't likely be of use to a terrorist?

Good on David Lepper MP for questioning this, lets hope he persues it.

These anti-terrorism laws are unbelievable. What I have to rely on their incompetence? Who isn't a potential terrorist.

Now that's just silly. Extreme Islamists are anti music.
longdog's music collection is mainly sufi chanting.
Or you're generalising.
