Today I took a picture of a man who had climbed up a very tall building. He was sitting up there.
A police officer saw me and said if the man jumps off the building he will seize my phone as evidence.
Can the Police do this? Seemed odd they would want my picture of the man sitting up there as evidence? Also evidence of what?
No, they can't. But then most policemen have very little idea of what the law actually is, and so just make it up as they go along. They usually get away with it, because no-one else knows what the law is either.
