Terrorist, moi?

To Trafalgar Square with the Knit Nurse this afternoon, to participate in a protest against police "stop and searches" against professional and amateur photographers alike. It's hard to understate the severity of the situation, which could see the demise of documentary photography in this country. And it's ironic seeing as we are increasingly under surveillance – take this alarming story in today's Guardian.



It was pretty packed, with thousands of cameras firing their flashes, as photographers asserted their right to take photographs in public.



It was particularly hilarious to observe some altercations between the police (in particular the PCSO buffoons) and members of the crowd. They were surrounded by thousands of photographers taking snaps of the boys in blue – particularly ironic seeing as the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 potentially allows for the arrest of people taking photos of police officers. There was even a cute dog wearing a coat proclaiming that he also wasn't a terrorist.
