A Home Office spokesman had yet to explain this apparent oversight at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>The circular followed calls for a common sense approach on police use of anti-terror laws amid mounting complaints from photographers.<\/p>\n<p>In March <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP)&#8217;s news editor delivered a dossier, containing details of photographers being stopped in public places, to the Home Office in central London.<\/p>\n<p>This followed talks held in Parliament between AP and the counter-terrorism minister. The meeting was brokered by photography rights campaigner Austin Mitchell MP.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in March, lawyer Rupert Grey warned that the new Section 58a legislation involves a &#8216;presumption of guilt&#8217; on the photographer.<\/p>\n<p>He told us: &#8216;This is a radical departure from the basic principle of English Law: that you are innocent until proved guilty. Until the new Act took effect, you did not need to have &#8216;an excuse to take photographs&#8217;. It is difficult to envisage what a valid excuse might be. A holiday snap? To illustrate an article? For fun? Because it&#8217;s a free country?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The new guidelines also tell police that sections 43 and 44 of the Terrorism Act do not prohibit the taking of photographs, film or digital images in an authorised area, and that members of the public and the press should not be prevented from doing so.<\/p>\n<p>It states that police stop and search powers should be used &#8216;proportionately and not specifically target photographers&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>To read the <em>Photography and Counter-Terrorism legislation<\/em> guidance in full see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeoffice.gov.uk\/about-us\/publications\/home-office-circulars\/circulars-2009\/012-2009\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED ARTICLES<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/photographers_remain_in_dark_over_terror_stops_news_285227.html\" title=\"Photographers in dark over terror stops\">Photographers in dark over terror stops<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/police_anti_terror_photography_guidance_delayed_news_283912.html\" title=\"Terror review delays photo guidance\">Terror review delays photo guidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/carlile_warning_must_not_be_ignored_says_photo_rights_lawyer_update_715pm_news_284703.html\" title=\"Watchdog warning must not be ignored\">Watchdog warning must not be ignored<\/a><\/p>\n<p><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\">Carlile report criticises terror law<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/police_stop_and_search_power_to_be_cut_news_282052.html\" title=\"Police scale back stop and search\">Police to scale back stop and search<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Photographers_rights_Government_issues_Stop_and_Search_pledge_news_281961.html\" title=\"Government issues stop and search pledge\">Government issues stop and search pledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Photographers_face_wider_anti_terror_curbs_news_281398.html\" title=\"Photographers face wider anti-terror curbs\">Photographers face wider anti-terror curbs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/photographers_meet_home_office_minister_over_rights_abuse_news_278619.html\" title=\"AP meets anti-terrorism minister\">AP meets anti-terrorism minister<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/Photographers_guilty_until_proved_innocent_news_278299.html\" title=\"Lawyer gives warning over Section 76\">Photographers &#8216;guilty&#8217; until proved innocent, says lawyer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/pictures_hundreds_attend_photographers_rights_protest_update_news_277136.html\" title=\"Photographers stage Scotland Yard protest\">Photographers stage Scotland Yard protest<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/terrorism_police_publish_new_guidance_news_273153.html\" title=\"Police given guidance on stop-and-search\">Police given stop-and-search guidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/labour_mp_austin_mitchell_launches_photography_petition_in_parliament_news_197555.html\" title=\"MP launches petition in Parliament\">MP launches petition in Parliament<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/news\/antiterror_police_defend_campaign_targeting_suspicious_behaviour_of_people_with_cameras_news_195594.html\" title=\"Photography in public campaign\">Photography in public campaign escalates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tourist&#8217;s innocent snapshot of a police officer is not likely to pose a terrorism threat, police chiefs have been told.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":22951,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[325],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-22950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news","tag-photographers-rights"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
