Nonetheless, you will still be treated like a common criminal and subjected to all the attendant stress and indignities that come with that before you are deemed as being innocent.Comment

And that's probably way more likely than this dont you think?

Of course if arrested you would be printed, photographed and DNA samples taken and associated with an arrest under terrorism laws on the databases too. Not a healthy or happy situation.Comment

It permits the arrest of anyone found "eliciting, publishing or communicating information" relating to members of the armed forces, intelligence services and police officers, which is "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

The law says "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism". Arguably any photograph that shows such officers is likely to be useful to someone preparing an act of terrorism, if only because it shows that such officers may be in that place.
I for one am not at all happy about any government introducing a law and then promising only to use it sensibly. Certainly not a government that sets up CCTV for security and anti-terrorism, and then uses the images to check that citizens are not dumping too much recyclable rubbish or claiming to live in the wrong school catchment area.Last edited by expat; 17 February 2009, 08:42.Comment
