No Photos

The Metropolitan Police have apparently been given guidance as to the use of cameras by members of the public and journalists:

The guidance also makes it clear that people are entitled to film and photograph in public whether or not they are media professionals.

"Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel," it says.

Well that's a useful carification after all the nonsense that has been reported recently regarding police demnding to see photos, security guards forbidding photography and so forth...
