There have been several hysterical reports (some of them posted on Plime) about how new laws make it illegal to photograph the police. The main problem here is not the infringement of personal and civil freedoms, but that no-one seems to have bothered with the truth.
The truth is there are no laws that prevent the photographing of the police providing the person with the camera isn't committing another crime.
This is how it's been for quite a while now. It just doesn't make for such a good story now, does it.
