Sad that were are coming to this in life where a small minority of small minded cretins can spread fear and hatred into the rest of the sheep, who don't have the presence of mind to apply common sense to a situation.

That link that Dennis posted the other day sums it up for me, I won't be rolling over and taking it in the a** because they can't see the difference between a Paedophile/ terrorist and regular Joe who just likes photography.

The guy was taking photo's at a train station, that's not allowed.
As a manager at Jessops and a keen tog, really he should have known better. You have to get a permit to take photo's at a train station and it's just a matter of paying a fee usually I think.

I've been refused permission to take photo's before, but in a place where I had no right to take them. I asked and they said no, can't really complain about that.

Actual photography at a train station is allowed, if you read the National Rail Enquires website about train enthusiasts it gives clear guidelines about rail photography.

You can borrow it.....just bring it back

And from the same page you linked...

Just turning up and taking photo's at a train station IS NOT A RIGHT and can be considered trespass if you do not obtain permission first. Asking permission first gives the Station Manager the ability to allow or deny you access and that is his/her decision.


From the well known UK photographers rights page...

Yes, I think that article was being a little sensationialist. Nothing has changed, they are merely pointing out what we already knew. It's just a shame that you can't do anything against the 'officers' who get the law wrong, otherwise I'd gladly be put in a cell for a few hours if it meant the pcso got straightened out.
