Home Secretary ok's restrictions on photography
Local restrictions on photography in public places are legitimate the Home Secretary has stated in a letter to the National Union of Journalists.
While Jacqui Smith reaffirmed that there are no legal restrictions, she added that local Chief Constables were allowed to restrict or monitor photography in certain circumstances.
The letter dated 26 June, which BJP has seen a copy of, is in response to correspondence sent by the Union secretary general, Jeremy Dear, who expressed concern at police surveillance of journalists, in particular photographers.
'First of all, may I take this opportunity to state that the Government greatly values the importance of the freedom of the press, and as such there is no legal restriction on photography in public places,' Smith writes. 'Also, as you will be aware, there is no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place.'
However, the Home Secretary adds that local restrictions might be enforced. 'Decisions may be made locally to restrict or monitor photography in reasonable circumstances. That is an operational decision for the officers involved based on the individual circumstances of each situation.
'It is for the local Chief Constable, in the case of your letter the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Force, to decide how his or her Officers and employees should best balance the rights to freedom of the press, freedom of expression and the need for public protection.'
The Home Office does not produce any guidance on photography in public places, and has not produced any specific guidance to [Forward Intelligence Team] officers, the Home Secretary says. 'I recommend, therefore, that the questions in your letter are best put to the Commissioner.'
The NUJ is expected to meet with MP Tony McNulty – Minister of State for Security, Counter-Terrorism, Crime and Policing – to discuss the issue, the Home Secretary confirmed.
In May, Dear had written to the Home Office after press photographers noticed that the Metropolitan Police's FIT was monitoring them.

UFO's on the Common
Today I had an intresting chat with two men using Dowsing techniques to search for traces of Alien life on the Common.
Talk of Lay lines, Aliens burial sites on the Grove, and an underground City beneath Wellington rocks.

Camera obscura
Spare room turned into a Camera obscura
view from the back of my house
photographed with a digital camera
Simply black out all windows and light leaks with heavy duty black plastic make a small hole in the black out material about as big as a 5 pence coin and enjoy bringing the outside into your room
Best results on a sunny day experiment with the aperture
