Interesting viewing. Revisits the infamous petition of last year.

Interesting, but the camcorder bloke seemed to have gone out to pick an argument to prove his point. I would certainly ask if someone was pointing a camcorder at my face and panning as I walked along the street at that close distance. Then he [camcorder bloke] got hostile from the off and the CSO reacted in kind.

Sure we can photograph in public, but we can also legally fart in public - doesn't make it right to do so in peoples faces...

I agree, he did seem to be looking for a fight. Of course all the footage was edited into clips to make the case for the photographer. I wonder if he wasn't filming for a longer time before the CSO approached? I wonder if the photographer behaved even more aggressively but it wasn't shown? I wonder about a lot - it would be interesting to see all the footage uncut!
