Dog Collar Christmas Lights
Has Labour’s big brother state lost the plot?
An amateur photographer taking pictures of Christmas lights was questioned by police under anti-terror laws.
Andrew White, from Brighton, was taking pictures in a busy town centre in nearby Burgess Hill when he was spotted and followed by two Police Community Support Officers.
They stopped him and asked why he had been taking pictures and if he was a professional photographer.
Mr White, 33, asked why they wanted to know and was told it was to do with counter-terrorism legislation.
Police said he was stopped for ‘taking too many photographs in a busy shopping area’.
If you was a terrorist planning an attack you would just look on google earth.
what next stop and search for walking your dog incase the dog has a hidden camera in his collar.
Many years ago, a lovely and beautiful Chinese young lady asked me if I would take a photo of her with her camera as she was terrified that she would be arrested for taking photos herself as she came from Red China and their laws were brutal and intolerant. I was with my Dad visiting London for a ‘day out’ as we stood outside 10 Downing Street at the time – in the days when you could literally stand outside the front door. I obliged the young girl and took several photos of her, and even the policeman on guard smiled and nobody challenged me. A true story, from a time when Britain was free and was one of the last bastions of democracy in this so-called free-world.
How times have changed since then. It is us that are becoming terrified of using our own cameras in these more unpleasant times.I feel that Britain has lost it’s innocence now, and we pander to control freaks like PCSO’s with nothing better to do with their time.
