This morning there was not a police officer or a PCSO to be seen from Lambeth Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge. Let&#8217;s hope the authorities have seen common sense at last.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The news comes just days after photographers&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Police_terror_photography_U_turn_ACPO_letter_revealed_in_full_news_292634.html\" title=\"ongoing campaign\">ongoing campaign<\/a> to defend their right to take pictures in public led to extensive coverage in newspapers, on TV and on radio last week.<\/p>\n<p>The issue was thrust into the limelight largely as a result of two recent high profile cases that prompted the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) to <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/_Police_terror_photography_U_turn_ACPO_letter_revealed_IN_FULL__New_details_emerge_news_292652.html\" title=\"ACPO warning\">warn forces nationwide<\/a> not to use anti-terror laws to stop photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Independent newspaper journalist Jerome Taylor last week reported <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Photographers_Is_stop_and_account_the_new_stop_and_search_news_292552.html\" title=\"Independent photographer quizzed\">how he was quizzed<\/a> while taking photos of the Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/BBC_photographer_terror_stop_Former_officer_blasts_Met_news_292330.html\" title=\"BBC photographer\">BBC photographer<\/a> Jeff Overs complained to the Met Police after being stopped while taking pictures of St Paul&#8217;s Cathedral.<\/p>\n<p>However, John Tracy, chief executive of the Bureau of Freelance Photographers (BFP), urged caution: &#8216;While the warning from ACPO is welcome, similar messages have been issued in the past, to little effect. However, it is hoped that the constant repetition will begin to get through to the officer on the street. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Certainly this latest warning is quite strong and repeats what the BFP has been saying all along that is: &#8220;Officers and community support officers? should not be stopping and searching people for taking photos. Unnecessarily restricting photography, whether from the casual tourist or professional, is unacceptable.&#8221; All we need now is for the bobby on the beat to take note.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The Metropolitan Police this morning appeared to play down any suggestion that it has pulled its officers from tourist landmarks as a &#8216;direct result&#8217; of media coverage.<\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman
