(update)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>As the country moves closer to what looks set to be a deal between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, it may be useful to reflect on where both parties stand on photographers? rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, we learned that innocent photographers continue to be the unwitting victims of the UK&#8217;s anti-terrorism laws when architectural photographer Grant Smith was stopped while photographing a building in the City of London and <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Photographer_held_by_police_under_terrorism_powers_update_240pm_news_297828.html\" title=\"physically restrained by officers\">physically restrained by officers<\/a> who confiscated his camera and mobile phone. <\/p>\n<p>Before the election, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said that a Conservative government would end police misuse of controversial stop-and search powers that have hit many innocent photographers.<\/p>\n<p>The pledge came as figures showed that police use of the controversial Section 44 stop-and-search power jumped 66% in 2008\/2009, compared with a year earlier. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement the Conservative Party said: &#8216;Many people, particularly amateur photographers, have said that the Government has allowed the police to misuse counter-terror powers to target innocent tourists and bystanders.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Grayling (pictured) added: &#8216;Gordon Brown and Labour have trampled our civil liberties for far too long. Whether they&#8217;re trying to impose ID cards, or allowing hundreds of thousands of innocent people to be stopped and searched under Terrorism powers, they always seem to think the state knows best. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We can&#8217;t go on like this. Conservatives will end the abuse of stop-and-search as part of a full review of all Labour&#8217;s counter-terrorism laws.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats called for an &#8216;urgent&#8217; review of counter-terrorism stop and search legislation, saying it must not be used to target photographers and tourists. <\/p>\n<p>The party told <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) last month that while it backs the use of police stop and search as an anti-terrorism measure, Section 44 must be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This law is in urgent need of a very big clarification,&#8217; a Lib Dem Home Affairs spokesman said. <\/p>\n<p>The Lib Dem spokeman expressed concern that innocent members of the public, including photographers, have &#8216;fallen foul of this government&#8217;s attitude towards counter-terrorism legislation&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We think that Section 44 has been overused and used for purposes for which it was not intended.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary Chris Huhne added: &#8216;When trainspotters, photographers and Japanese tourists are all up in arms, it should be clear even to Labour this law needs to be tightened up. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Random and indiscriminate use of stop and search is an infringement of liberty and alienates the communities we rely on most for the intelligence and witnesses to fight terrorism.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/stop_and_search_and_photographers_anti_terrorism_minister_issues_statement_news_295778.html\" title=\"meeting with Amateur Photographer\">meeting with Amateur Photographer magazine<\/a> in March, the government once again attempted to reassure photographers that they are not being &#8216;targeted&#8217; by police officers under anti-terrorism stop and search powers. <\/p>\n<p>And the government&#8217;s terrorism watchdog, Lord Carlile, recently confirmed to <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> that he has called for Section 44 of the Terrorism Act to be abolished.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED ARTICLES<\/p>\n<p><a
