Weds 1st April: G20 protests - discussion, reaction and chat

Why don't you get a clue what you are talking about.
A quick look over your posting history suggests that you came to u75 for photography and have expressed concern about bigotry and homophobia...
...only to lauch into "anti-hippy" hysteria on this thread today. Rather than make people hate your guts for ever more, why don't you take the time to think about what you are saying?
In this case, maybe you'd like to reconsider sweeping blanket statements about 'you lot' and indulging in fairly pathetic stereotyping.

They still can not force photographers to delete the images, unless they have been arrested, charged and then found guilty. If the photos are the evidence, then they must not be deleted, otherwise there is no case!

http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2008/ukpga_20080028_en_9#pt7-pb3-l1g76 . there is a defence of reasonable excuse. and anyway, there is no power given to the police to demand that the photo be removed from a camera. They would have to launch a prosecution based on the offence having been committed.
Can't see any reason for the charge on this clip...an Al Jazeera reporter pushed into the crowd..

Very true.
Also true.
Almost certainly not true. How would a picture of a copper help a terrorist? If their evil scheme hinged on knowing what coppers look like, could they not go and look at some and then just remember? Yet another case of slipping in bullshit legislation under the unassailable guise of 'anti-terrorism'.

fuck... ITV news just said 1 man's collapsed and died at the protests today.
said man in his 30's, and police complaints people have been notified (forgot the exact organisation name they said)
anyone know anything else about this?

great minds think alike.
from your excellent guide:
"There's nothing stopping you taking pictures of people in pubic places within reason, but if you start shoving your zoom lens up their nostrils or taking action shots of their every step, there's a chance you might get a clip around the ear from your aggrieved subject or possibly face a legal charge of harassment or breach of the peace."

OK the Home Office might have slipped it in but whether it would be thought by the Appeal Court or House of Lords L that it was the intent of Parliament to stop climate protestors who were having the shit kicked out of them taking pictures is another matter.

Waterloo Station, 6pm. A police van arrives and out spill 8 riot cops. No helmets, but turtle necks and hi-vis jackets. I says to them, "Had fun?" Our brave boys in blue, "Fuck off, we can always nick one more!" To the sgt* "Why have none of your men got their numbers showing?" "Just fuck off now!"
So glad that 30% of the money I've earned today goes to the state.
*sgt was the only one with id on his shoulders, no numbers, just 3 stripes.

Good stuff. Hopefully some footage will show of coppers demanding that photos be deleted, if that is indeed what's been happening.

I haven't seen News At Ten today but I'd assume it's because (a) people watch News At Ten and (b) nobody watches News24.
Same as with the recent protests with the foreign workers brought in - the News At Ten coverage was obviously deliberately edited to make the protestors out to be racists. Edited from their own footage shown later the same day on Newsnight (but obviously not watched by nearly as many people).

I tried to take a phone pic of cops supervising two guys removeing two chalked @ Anarchy signs in Coleman Street - I was told that if I continued my phone would have to be "taken as evidence" - fucking surreal!!!
and scarey
I am totally enraged

shut it you egg!
this makes me so so angry. compared to the shit storm up threadneedle street (which was largely allowed and bought about by the plod anyway), to hear about the fuckers intimidating such a fluffy bunch of people having such a decent time with an agreed plan of retreat smacks of heavy handed authoritarianism of the very worst. excel should be fun eh cunts yes:

I'm really glad I went today and witnessed what was going on. It's important to see this kind of shit first hand and publicise what you've seen.

It's OK, the MET has released a statement, "All those involved in today's violence will be tracked down and prosecuted."
That'll be a lot of Old Bill going down then.
Or am I naive?

No, they need a court order. Association of Chief Police Officers says so.

btw, has there been any mention on urban about 10 space hijackers being nicked earlier in the day for 'impersonating a police officer'?
fucking ridiculous charge if that's true... hope they're all doing ok, sure they'll be fine because they're generally fairly sorted IME.
so that's 10 of the 24 arrests

Obviously nothing to do with the police forcing him to stay in that area for hours on end then.

The Court of Appeal inserted mens rea into a similar law a while back, and it's likely they'll do the same with this when a case reaches court. Which can't be too long if the police are making free with it.
