We are just weeks away from a General Election after all. Wasn?t this then all just hot air? Well, Hanson was clearly confident that his department?s <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/home_office_we_listened_to_ap_readers_news_288208.html\" title=\"Home Office published new guidance\">guidelines<\/a>, released last summer, will stamp out any <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/met_police_reject_photographers_stopandsearch_request_update_news_283571.html\" title=\"AP magazine requests stops and search data\">unruly behaviour<\/a> by officers on the ground. But AP countered that &#8211; 12 months since meeting Hanson?s <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/photographers_meet_home_office_minister_over_rights_abuse_news_278619.html\" title=\"meeting with the counter-terrorism minister\">predecessor Vernon Coaker<\/a> ? police attitudes, particularly among PCSOs, remain seemingly unchanged. Last year?s meeting with Coaker seemed somewhat rushed and short-lived. By contrast, Hanson devoted the best part of an hour and invited top brass from the nation?s police forces to the round-table discussion &#8211; a move that suggested the campaigning among amateurs, professionals and photographic bodies nationwide has had a huge impact. Hanson?s manner was business like, yet he was clearly prepared to listen. The minister instructed ACPO to play a key role in recording any future incidents reported to it, and for ACPO to then feed back any future concerns to the Home Office. Though premature to think that we had witnessed a seismic shift in the attitude of the authorities, the Met?s apparent willingness to even consider sharing the contents of their new police training video with AP suggests that the photographic community has sent shock waves through the corridors of power and triggered an overriding call for common-sense policing. We left feeling optimistic but in no doubt that anti-terror laws will continue to ensnare photographers in a climate where, according to ACPO, the authorities fear a Mumbai-style terror attack on the UK. The future of Section 44 stop and search powers may, however, be shaped by a recent call by the government&#8217;s terrorism watchdog, Lord Carlile. He said that Section 44 of the Terrorism Act should be <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Stop_and_search_Police_under_fire_over_unnecessary_terror_stops_update_415pm_news_284684.html\" title=\"Carlile report criticises terror law\">abolished<\/a>. This came shortly after the European Court of Human Rights ruled that officers? use of Section 44 is illegal. Whatever lies ahead, it is clear that access to the country?s policy makers would not have been possible, without the <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Police_terror_photography_U_turn_ACPO_letter_revealed_in_full_news_292634.html\" title=\"MP\">relentless persistence of Austin Mitchell MP<\/a>, a
