GOOD LORD!
That's akin to self-empowered CENSORSHIP privileges!
What's next? They gonna tell you what you can or cannot eat, or how to breathe, and how much air you're allowed to take in at a time, or how to have sex at home, and sit down and watch just to make sure you 'don't do anything you're not allowed to'?
delete lor.. go back recover :X
Wouldn't it just be easier to impose a blanket ban at all tourist hotspots?
Following that line of logic, they might as well ban all cameras and anyone from entering a tourist hotspot once there are more than 10 or 20 people within a vicinity for fear of whatever. Heck, just don't let anyone in at all and have all the tourists gawking at the tourist attractions behind a policed barrier a kilometer away. They could even start collecting money to allow people to gawk!
Nope. It's a public place, and the main subject is the scenery, not the people. But, again, it's a public place. How do you think paparazzi survive? So long as you're in public, anyone can take pictures. Otherwise, Diana and the other royal family members, and all the other stars, would have no problems with paparazzi.
And they think all terrorists are stupid.....As i've said,they are becoming paraniod.
Photog takes pic of tourist hotspot-->post online-->extremist chance upon the picture and make his move.
The KEYWORD is "HOTSPOT"
And they think all terrorists are stupid.....
.
IF you read the article, you'll realise they are trying to take action against the officer, not the photog. Hey, people have rights in UK.
even then such things shouldn't happen
people have rights? :bsmilie: there was a report 3 days ago about a 2,500 member strong gang based IN LONDON itself, "tougher to break than the ira"
so tell me, what are the police/government doing about the right to walk about without fear? other than adding in the fact that you might be pestered by the police itself.
compromise, compromise. you make it sound as if the uk is a glorious place to live in. it has its perks, but it ain't the best. no place is.

Do you think something like this can happen here?
Happens at the esplanade all the time. And the gothic building in Bugis.
