Hopefully the 29th of August rally will help change some of these laws :-) Cheers for your comment Tim, it is a bit of a worry…may all be in the name of security but it’s funny how people can often obtain a ‘permit’ without any real security check…just as long as they hand over the cash!

They leave me alone then. We live in a nanny country these days with so many BS rules and regulations I think to maintain your sanity you just need to work out ways to get around these issues after all enforcing the rules is not that easy to do I think. Anyway thats my spiel and I sympathise with you. Cheers Pete. Hi Sandy,

Don’t get me started !!!!!!!! hehe

Like you I don't get how I could be a security risk, I'm just taking photos. Thanks, Jamie Hi Sandy,

A really well written post. Like you I don’t get how I could be a security risk, I’m just taking photos.

Thanks,

Obviously I don't mind moving on if there is a valid reason - I once got moved on in London by armed police...very politely mind you, for unknowingly taking shots in the general direction of the M15 building across the Thames just after the London bombings. Ooops! Fair enough!! The police were great and explained everything and we had a bit of a chat. Now <em>that,</em> I understand...the other stuff is just poppycock!

It is crazy that in our own country we are not allowed to take a photo because we make money from it but it is our taxes on the money earned from taking such a photo paying for the councils and governments to put laws in stopping us from doing it haha what a joke!!!
