The concern is not so much what the law actually says but rather how the legislation is interpreted by police officers. Some photographers are so concerned about being stopped that they have given up street photography entirely.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A &#8216;police state&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Austin Mitchell expressed the need for police on the ground to understand that people have a right to take photographs in a public place.<\/p>\n<p>And he warned of the &#8216;more imponderable threat&#8217; hanging over the issue relating to the new Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, which he fears police will misinterpret to the extent that photographers have &#8216;no right to take pictures of anything&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Also lobbying the minister was Conservative MP David Wilshire and Labour MP Andrew Miller, both keen photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Wilshire branded the government&#8217;s policy &#8216;absurd&#8217;, adding: &#8216;We are building a police state&#8230; I am appalled.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Miller pointed out that police did not hesitate in asking the public for photos to help track down the 7\/7 London bombers. He added: &#8216;There are a massive number of cases where images (such as CCTV) help bring about prosecutions. We should be encouraging more people to take photographs, and to share them with the security services if they are concerned.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>Coaker, who was handed relevant articles from AP, said: &#8216;There is no intention to try to stop legitimate photographic activity.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>The minister added that Section 44 stop-and-search powers, and the new Counter-Terrorism 2008, are important in tackling terrorism but acknowledged that there is always a debate about where to draw the line when enforcing the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED ARTICLES<\/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<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2009\/03\/terroristslow1.jpg\" alt=\"Photographers meet Home Office minister\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Picture (from left to right): <em>AP Editor Damien Demolder, Andrew Miller MP, Austin Mitchell MP, Vernon Coaker MP (Minister for Policing, Crime and Security), AP news editor Chris Cheesman, Murray Dobbie from the British Institute of Professional Photography and Royal Photographic Society treasurer Ian Bailey<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Home Office has invited <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP) magazine to help draft guidance that will aim to ensure police do not misuse anti-terrorism legislation to unfairly stop photographers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":24271,"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-24270","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) -
