Police Delete tourists photo's

and i thought it was weird when i got told off the other day for taking photos in an Arcade by security! lol

This is a bit OTT really, if they were terrorists they can still easily find blueprints and other photos pretty much anywhere online! its rediculous.

Thanks for posting this - particularly on behalf of those who believe that photographers DON'T get harrassed by the police.

It is obvious that some cops do not know what to do around photography and get it wrong. It is bizzare that this still happens but it seems its mainly in London.:thinking:

I'm sure some people ring up the police and say someone is taking photos of my children etc or my building or whatever and that sets up a confrontation but some photographers think its there god given right to photograph anyone when an individual surely has the right to say no thanks, go away.

But to get a tourist to delete images, well :bang:

Just to be pedantic, your apostrophe is in the wrong word!

This quote is particularly interesting... "Matkza, a 69-year-old retired television cameraman with a taste for modern architecture, was told that photographing anything to do with transport was "strictly forbidden".

In The Metro newspaper this week London Underground had a whole page which told people how they were able to apply to take pictures and videos of the tube network and trains as it is iconic.
 
the police have no right to delete any pictures from your camera as far as im aware, if asked to, make them take you to the station but DONT delete the photos, im sure a quick kick up the arse for jobsworth by his superior will have you free to go.

Plural apostrophe is it the same as sheep......................:bang:

If it's not, it should be! It's a far greater crime than taking pictures in public.

I've read somewhere that police officers are trained that they must not allow people to delete the photographs if they are a suspected terrorist. They aren't even allowed to let the person turn the camera on or off as a precauction so the CF card cannot be corrupted. So it's meant to be left in the state it was confiscated in and sent to a trained officer for analysis of the photographs.
