If this is for real, we are all eventually going to be subjected to a total police state.

To all of the citizens of the UK. All I can say is you let this happen. Instead of sitting behind a TV and eating fast food burgers and french fries, get out and do something! Maybe, protecting your rights and the rights of everyone around you!

The general populous has become nothing more than sheep, herded by governments.

Terrorists have won. They have done their job. They don’t have to kill anyone any more. They have placed people in a state of constant fear, and now we pay the price.

Our freedoms have been taken and will continue to be torn away from us!

Stuff this new law, the cops film and photograph the public using cctv etc, if we want to film them then so be it

Thanks for your efforts…great blog, and thanks for fighting the good fight.

“which means the header on this blog could have me imprisoned if I lived in the United Kingdom.”

seems like you’re stretching things a bit. i don’t think this is true, carlos.

Am I just seriously deluded in thinking that this battle for “our rights” on most, if not all fronts, is doomed to fail? While it seems possible to stave off the inevitable for some unknown period of time, ultimately the shift in power towards governments (and away from the “governed”) is a trend that appears closely linked to the advance of technology and likely to continue. If not continue to accelerate. Controls on photography are just part of the defensive, counter-intelligence skirmish. Which brings us back to your… um, current legal situation.

As such, where do you see this going? Will individuals reclaim their former “rights” and everything will be well and good in the world? If so, what would you point to as evidence for this belief? Is this just way beyond the scope of your “quest” which is more about clearing your own legal status re; the incident? If you or anyone else could convincingly explain how the subject of your current article is not just a one dimensional signpost towards a 3d, multisensory, near future, I would then be quite happy.

I think it’s important to remember when it comes to civil liberties the UK has a considerably different set of laws & rights than the US

I really don’t think you can make the argument “so goes the UK, so goes the US” – they have laws like the “Official Secrets Act” that would never fly here – books are routinely published in the US that cannot be published in the UK because of their laws – our defamation laws are considerably different too as another example

matt: you’ve obviously never known anyone in the US armed forces. before and during deployment, you can’t publish pictures that show an identifiable face, nameplate, or rank insignia at the same time. Face is cool if you photoshop out the other stuff. or have them remove it.

They get really cranky when people ignore these so called “guidelines.”

I don’t see it as impossible that police would want the same protection, even though i see no reason why they deserve or need it.
