UK - Ask Nº10 to lift Photo restrictions Petition

Done and done.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm sure it would've popped up on my radar sooner or later, but I've now shared this with my friends.
 
I wonder if MI5 started that petition to get a comprehensive list of the dissidents’ address… to match up with the photos they took at that demo the other day?

Now where did I put my foil hat…

Dear Stewart,

You have presumably not heard about the new aluminium-foil-eating bacterium, jointly developed by MI5, KGB, CIA and Mossad, which dissolves THE ONLY PROTECTION WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!

Seriously: I've signed it too.

I thought it was just a rumour, but now you’ve confirmed it’s existence…

Seriously; I did not

There are some fantastic policemen and women out there. Unfortunately there are also a few at the opposite end of the spectrum in uniform. I don't want to end up in court before someone is sensible enough to apply discretion. Reminds me of the time I had a 20 minute (polite) interview, ID check etc when photographing a famous building in London using an Ebony 5x4 on a large tripod, dark cloth, full kit bag etc. Meanwhile hundreds of other people were machine gunning the same building with their digital cameras without the slightest interference. After checking me, they did not stop and search a single one, despite standing there taking group photos, shots of the building etc right in front of the plods. I guess they looked like tourists...

Could my photo have been used to plan a terrorist attack? Possibly, but no more so than the 10,000 tourist shots taken that day. Under the new law could that leave me vulnerable to prosecution? I dont know, but I am worried that all it takes is a snotty policeman who wants to flex his ego, the slightest whiff of irritation from the photographer who has been stopped for the third time that day and the recipe is ready for a problem.

I would venture to guess that the total number of people caught undertaking hostile surveillance against London buildings as part of a terrorist plot in the last five years is zero.
 
the fundamental flaw in the law is the 'could be used for terrorist purposes'. under that description, most of the photos on official web pages could fall foul! most tourist shots could too. There is no requirement for them to prove any kind of intent, which is a major worry. The problem here is that the law would support the prosecution of an unwitting photographer because of the potential of the image, rather than the intent of the person taking it. And we are supposed to be happy that our safety net is 'police discretion....' I would rather that my safety net was the LAW so I do not have to rely on people liking me, feeling sorry for me, or deciding to protect me out of the goodness of their heart because 'they believe in me.' This law marks a fundamental shift away from the principle of common law to which so much stability and equality in Britain can be attributed. It has also maintained the appropriate balance between the state and the people it is accountable to. The current crop of politicians and officials seem to have forgotten that they are accountable to us and NOT the other way round.

I urge you to read a book called the Abolition of Liberty. Its a very interesting and well researched read that looks into what caused all of this to start moving in the current direction pre 911. The interesting this is that it was written by a hard line left winger yet his views and explanations make it clear that liberty is a universal apolitical concept. He reserves most of his criticism for New Labour's less publicised agendas and initiatives which amout to the subversion of the state aparatus.
 
All levels and sectors of the UK government, including the police, have been infiltrated by a leadership "charity" called "Common Purpose".

Its goal is to subvert English sovereignty and prepare it for full absorption into the EU.

Former naval officer Brian Gerrish has been following some of the rather strange coincidences that are happening in plain view THROUGHOUT communities in the UK.

There's a great video on youtube that describes the evidence in depth.
