Do you know it will soon be illegal to photograph the police in many public order situations

The police were abusing the law for searching everyone entering the climate camp which led to this happening - protesters ignore police stop and search the police then used sec 44 of the Terrorism Act which would have made this filming of the police stopping legal observes
much harder to do. This second film caused the Kent police to be investigated by internal affairs after the Chief Constable lied to an MEP about the policing of legal observers and then the MEP was able to take this film a few hours later to show that he had lied - good bit of video activism to stop police abuse of authority.

The Terrorism Act has been used at many big demonstrations over the last few years and is used more and more on peaceful protesters. Take some action on the new Counter-Terrorism Act which comes on on 16th February http://www.pledgebank.com/s76photo before it becomes illegal to use video as a tool to stop the common police abuse of their authority.

"I will take a photograph of a UK police officer, or other defined under S76 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008, on or before February 16 2009
