this argument
in itself makes the law useless
i believe police were already peritted to ask people if they are terrorists, and to confiscate items that may lead to the prosecution of such a person.
So why invent a new law?

There were too many misunderstandings about the law
This was to try to get it in writing clearly for everyone.

fair enough
but the statement "It's not that bad really." should never be one heard in response to a pointless law that was never needed in the first place.

It's not really that pointless
Without it written down on paper then the police will make their own assumptions about the vague terminology before. Also this law is aim at terrorist and protecting everyone else who is not a terrorist. In other words a tourist taking pictures of a policeman is ok, but a member of the IRA taking pictures of a policeman for recon purposes is not good.
