[Leica] Taking photos of police officers could be considered a crime

[crbirchenhall at googlemail.com (Christopher Birchenhall)]

Not so long ago I was stopped by a security man in a shopping precinct
because I was using my camera. Once he discovered it was a film camera
he lost interest. This was about the time there was a plan to ban the
use of digital cameras in public spaces because it was feared
unsavoury characters were taking pictures of children. I recall taking
my grandson to a play area where I was reluctant to use my camera
because other children were around.

I am really concerned the UK government spurred on by the tabloid
press are loosing the old balance between security and liberty.
