This a really good post.
My MP has not signed it yet so I sent him a note asking for his support on this today.
Dear MP,
Austin Mitchell MP has proposed the Early Day Motion (EDM 1155) entitled "Photography in Public Areas". As a keen amateur photographer, I am concerned that the rights of photographers are increasingly being infringed upon. I urge you to sign this early day motion to protect our right to take photographs in public places and look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Louis Berk - in the article said:'I am sympathetic to the need for greater vigilance these days,' says Louis Berk. 'But singling out amateur photographers seems a bit unfair. To be honest, most of us are just sad anoraks who are no threat to anyone!'
Unfortunately this campaign won't suppress the hysteria and anxiety amongst the wider population. I just look forward to the day when paranoid idiots like this are too scared to come out of their homes, and stay in clutching their kids in mortal fear.Since acquiring a half decent camera a week ago I've been out snapping and twice been asked by concerned parents if i was taking pictures of their kids, which of course I wasn't and willingly obliged by showing them my shots to their relief, it's a sad fact of life when the innocent have to be looked upon as being guilty of something.
