More state-sponsored terror

On the same day (yesterday) that the UK's Metropolitan Police issued guidance to its officers that photography is not illegal (and it's shocking enough that they should even need to tell their officers this!), a man in Chatham was arrested, handcuffed, and generally terrorised for guess what, photographing his local fish & chip shop! Read it and weep. I hope the police officers and pseudo-police officers concerned get fried for this!

It was not his shop: "his local shop" = shop near his home (local area).

But yes, it is crazy to arrest someone for taking pictures!

According to the news website The Register, he was arrested for being "too tall" (1.8m) which made the police officer afraid! (Article: Kent Police clamp down on tall photographers) Surely 1.8m tall is not scary for a police officer? This is scary: 18m tall Gundam!
