    Hmm? I wonder what might constitute “suspicious” equipment? These guys were using very expensive Leica cameras.

    I think that plod are actually making judgements on what a person looks like. Certainly when I had long hair (those were the days!) I used to get hassled regularly.Admittedly I used to photograph a lot of demonstrations in London – and they certainly didn’t want me shooting their wrongdoings. They actually smashed a camera on one occasion. But this is absurd! Is it only a matter of time before some force gets sued for wrongful arrest? It will never get anywhere, as judges always take the word of the police. Hey ho.
