Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) asked Surrey Police to make a recording of the phone call available to help clarify the chain of events that led to uniformed officers attending the scene<\/a> on Guildford High Street on 27 June. <\/p>\n

However, the force has told AP that it is unable to release a recording of the conversation, for data protection reasons.<\/p>\n

Photographer Don Morley said that uniformed officers told him and his friend, Bernard Lockley, they had been alerted to the incident by two off-duty policemen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Officers quizzed the pair over fears, later shown to be misplaced, that they had captured indecent photographs of a child.<\/p>\n

Morley, 76, said uniformed police told them they had \u2018been reported by their off-duty colleagues as being under suspicion of taking indecent images’.<\/p>\n

Lockley, 79, accuses the off-duty officers of behaving like \u2018agent provocateurs’, sparking the call by first approaching the child’s family.<\/p>\n

But police maintain that a call was made, independently, by a woman expressing concern about two men photographing her grandson.<\/p>\n

One of the off-duty officers is understood to have asked Morley to delete an image of the boy, even though it broke no law.<\/p>\n

Officers who reviewed the digital images concluded that the photographers – left shocked by the experience – were innocent of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

By chance, the drama was witnessed by a passing lawyer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Morley asserts that, from inspecting the EXIF data embedded in the
\nfile of the controversial image, he captured it at 12.39pm – 11 minutes
\n before the time police gave for the complaint being made.<\/p>\n

Asked if it was possible to release a recording of the initial complaint, a Surrey Police spokesperson told AP: \u2018We are unable to release calls made to our control room for data protection reasons.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have spoken to the other off-duty officer who was involved in the incident and our statement <\/a>remains unchanged.’<\/p>\n
