For Sale: I'm a Terrorist not a Photographer

A bit late, but I'm sure this will be of some use:
http://cms.met.police.uk/news/policy_organisational_news_and_general_information/guidance_issued_to_mps_officers_and_staff_re_stop_and_search_photo_policy

. . . . I think we have been over this one already !!!

This from the Met late last year and Andy Trotter's (ACPO) statement - will have (and appears to be having) little effect as it is only 'guidance'.

The law remains the same (regardless of the ECHR ruling that it is illegal) so nothing is likely to change.

If an officer wants to stop you because he thinks black people are generally up to no good - the only reason he needs is that you are in a designated area - nothing much you can do, if he wants to fuck around with you for 40 minutes he can do - London is a designated area.

There is nothing in that guidance that could prevent this happening.

The only thing that would help would be a repeal of the law.
