I don't feel I am right I KNOW I am right having photographed Police officers on Sunday. Also Saturday and many other occasions previously. I have had pictures of Armed police on the front cover of a newspaper... won a Calumet competition with a picture of Policemen at a military event... So I have photographed police officers as recently as 3 days ago.... what is more they will be pictures that are published tomorrow morning. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

The constable is empowered to arrest someone taking pictures of officers and this has been before countless times. |
