A few weeks ago, Dekionplexis posted an article about new laws coming in to make it illegal to photograph police in the UK. He was dismissed kind of quickly, probably because he also believes that a photo of Obama with his hands crossed proves that he is the masonic antichrist. But looking at this stuff again, it looks a tad scary. Any opinions?
The new proposals can be seen here, written in green.

on so many levels it's hard to find where to begin.
As for the new laws;
"...an individual who is or has been..." - So no photos of anybody who is or has ever been in the armed forces - so no more photos of war vets on remembrance day? Invaluable to terrorists i'm sure.
Also, why is it that doing this in Northern Ireland only carries half the jail time?
This almost makes some of the anti-terrorist laws appear sane in comparison. When are people going to realize that nothing a terrorist has ever done has impacted our freedom one bit compared to the laws meant to protect it?

The main aspects of it are "which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" and "It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under this section to prove that they had a reasonable excuse for their action."
Basically if you are taking pictures of policemen and you have a legitimate reason other then "I'm a terrorist" then it's fine.

Terrorism being: "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."

whenever the hell they feel like it. I don't see why they have to bring in a bunch of new stuff on the back of 'anti terrorist' stuff, it's just confusing.
Like national ID cards. How the hell does that have anything to do with 'terrorism'? Why not just bring it in as anti fraud and protection like they did in the rest of Europe?

Certain police have shown a tendency to be dicks to photographers already. This act seems to do little else except allow them to be more dickish if they want to be, as well as giving them something to hide behind.

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?

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.

is that the government is continuing to pass laws which are unlikely to make us any less safe fro terrorism yet lessen our freedom. The great thing about UK law as opposed to, say American law is that we are allowed to do anything at all as long as there is no law against it (while the US law system is based around a idea of rights; anything outside of those rights is illegal).
Therefore these laws are chipping away at the precious freedom under the premise that they make us safer. Ask yourself, does this make you feel safer? Do you feel more free?
(, Tue 3 Feb 2009, 1:43, Reply)
the key phrase is:
"which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or"
So carry on snapping. To convict you they have to *prove* that you knew that the photo could be an aid to terrorists.
So, taking a picture of a copper in Northern Ireland leaving his house would be illegal. Taking a picture of him in full riot gear smashing someone's head in wouldn't be.
And randomly snapping pictures of coppers at demos, football matches etc would still be legal. They're of no earthly use to terrorists.
Mind, judging by the wording of that act, it seems that you can't snap a constable (if the photo could be of use to terrorists) but anyone of higher rank is fair game. The act only forbids constables.

There's plenty to be worried about with this government but this isn't one of them.

he does indeed seem a plank. Being "Method" on set and wanting to be "in the moment" is one thing but just as much as the DP was unprofessional for walking into his field of vision, so was Bale, more so, for this rant.

The peanut at the top of the page. Theres a whole story attached to it aswell. He was in a pub with his boss, and that peanut came out of a packet.
My friend said that it would be the sort of thing people would pay silly money for on ebay. His boss thought otherwise, and thus a bet was constructed. Whilst I dont remember the prize, I do remember that the challenge was to sell it for more than £5
So, a massive ebay campaign was launched. Declaring the peanut as "The Pwnage Peanut" that improved your skills at counter strike by about 600% (And also included was a little video demonstrating this, unfortunatley, the video did not include footage of the peanut)
In the end someone bought it for about £7, but he never sent it off to them, and I have since lost the ebay page.
You will just have to take my word for it =)
EDIT: Actually, I lied a bit, the video did have the peanut in it. Ill go upload it for you all if you would like :)
