This is a normal post Section 44
Is the main power they've been using to stop and search photographers.

This is a normal post So Wheresthefish may well still be right to wonder how this helps him.
I know I don't care much either way; not being a photographer and all.

This is a normal post If i remember rightly
It grants stop and search orders in any area where a particular order is in effect (damned if I can remember the name). So it should be simple, inside these areas, the police are entitled to search, outside, they are not. Unfortunately the public is not allowed to know where these orders are in effect, so it just gives blanket stop and search permission in practice (or something that looks very like it and can never be proven differently, since a successful appeal would show where the orders were in effect)
