   I feel suspected every time I go out and photograph.

   Anyone know what started the slight altercation with the PCO’s shown at 5:00?

   Well as far as I could tell, the PCO’s were trying to detail a girl and she wouldn’t let them. and the crowd kind off closed ranks and cut them off. One of the guys was telling them to leave her alone so they turned on him, but as soon as the PC came along and radioed base, the PCO’s moved on. I guess their base had told them to stop being daft and sit in the van, which they then did.

   There are thousands of CCTV cameras all over London, witch monitor people day and night on taxpayers money, but if people try to film, they are terrorists. Orwellian 1984 police state is on full swing.

   That does fit in with something I read ( on flickr I think ) that it was a PCSO trying to stop Simona Bonomo for somthing or other. She’s the Italian student who was arrested by police in the Paddington Basin development after being questioned by a PCSO over her taking pictures.

   Ah, it seems they may have been after her because she had her bicycle with her. If you search Flickr for “Simona Bonomo” you’ll find a couple of pictures and some information.

    That law is just sad…. It’s not about protecting, it’s about controlling. Photo and video cameras are all around, and they are afraid that one of us, might get a still or video of them doing something that is unconstitutional… I really hope we wake up and take back what is rightfully ours. Our freedom.

    I guess London isn’t one of my tourist destinations, because I would want to take LOTS of pictures.
