More people being stopped from taking shots??

section 44

 

[Slipper-one]

For taking photos, no.
Section 44 covers the Authorisation of the use of Stop and Search powers.

If he said you would be contravening section 44 by taking photos of the structure, he was talking out of his bumhole.

I think this just shows how misinformed ,mis-trained and ignorant some of those protecting us are.:shrug:

We cannot take a few shots of certain places, and yet how many times does CCTV film each of us everyday.

This is becoming the norm now around any town centres or shopping centres myself and a friend did a night shoot around Birmingham from 20.00 hrs till 01.45 hrs there were cctv and security watching us all night we were just laughing at them it was really funny and we had a great night

I reckon they were having a crafty smoke and thought they would get caught on camera, after all it does state NO SMOKING.............

me and my wife were walking around trafalgar square on tuesday,when my wife decided she needed to visit the loo,so we walked the short distance to charing cross station to use their toilets.whilst she went to the loo,i stood outside with my camera hanging around my neck,and i noticed two transport police looking towards me and talking,when one of them came over and asked me if i'd taken any photo's of the station,if i had any ID etc etc.....i showed him some ID and offered to show him all i had on my storage to prove i hadn't taken any shots.he then said that i wasn't allowd to shoot the structure of the station as i would be contravening section 44 of the terrorism act.

is this correct?

....... think they'd get their priorities right.:shrug:




"Police question man with camera seen lurking outside ladies loo........"

Or you could have quote the official National Rail website (who run the train stations)

Photography

Taking photographs on stations is permitted providing it is for personal use.

With trespass the landowner or landowners agent can use reasonable force to evict you. (The travellers scenario comes under "unlawful gathering" as part of the Public Order Act and is a little different.

It's the reasonable force bit that allows a landlord to throw you out of a pub, or the doorman and yes SIA covers that in training.

They cannot take your property and they have no legal authority to take your details either.
