indeed, and sometimes its reassuring that people are keeping an eye on you in case you take a tumble!
but back to my first question, does anyone know if it is legal to follow someone and record everything they are doing when you are not a policeman?
If its legal for normal people, reporters or private eyes to do it, what is this guy complaining about?
Also, isn't he being a bit of a hypocritical cunt if he was drawing who was there and where the police stood?

You can do whatever you like in a public space
so long as you're not harassing that person. Which probably means that if said person got annoyed enough at your actions, they might be able to use the law to stop that annoyance.

It happens with
celebs all the time. Huge scrapbooks of every newspaper cutting, camping outside houses etc. If it goes too far, it can be a criminal act, as in the Rio Ferdinand case recently.

it makes it hard for me to think that what the police is doing is bad
when in theory they have the best intentions and there are so many more mental people doing far worse yet not breaking the law
