Yes, totally--unless you really have a lawyer with you who knows his or her stuff, you can't make headway by insisting on 'rights'--the Ways and Means Act is generally stronger.
No idea why people are held for so long. Perhaps they just want to 'punish' them or thye run more advanced computer checks which take a while?
What I don't understand is why they pounced on these people like that in the first place. The only motivation seems to be that the initial request for details was ignored, and they then came up with a way of forcing them to hand over details. I didn't even know about that anti-social behaviour charge. How can you possibly make that stick if all the photographer is doing is taking pictures? (Not that I think you have to make it stick to get away with it.)
