Amateur photographers arrested for photographing on the street

The British police are again abusing the anti-terrorism laws to harass and arrest lawful citizens for photographing on public places.

After being completely polite to the police, he was arrested for 'antisocial behaviour' - as anyone can see from the video - made-up bullshit charges.

On bullshit charges, this amateur photographer lost his freedom for 8 hours - for nothing. Waste of his time and police resources.

See the video.

WaKEY Wakey!

Police Use Force To Arrest Art Student For Videoing London

In London, the police needed 6 officers to arrest a peaceful art student for filming on a public place. After forcefully detaining the female student, they fined her £80 for causing alarm and disturbance.

From the video footage it seems only disturbance were the police, and there is certainly cause for alarm since the police are wasting time and 6 officers on this.

Shameful act of over-policing. Interesting also considering that british are dying abroad in a "fight against terrorism" while the "freedoms" they are "protecting" are, simply, lost to police state -action.

Quote from The Guardian: "Police community support officers (PCSOs) stopped Italian student Simona Bonomo under anti-terrorism legislation for filming buildings in London. Moments later, she was arrested by other officers, held in a police cell and fined."
