If I were casing for a terrorist attack I wouldn't be using an SLR, I
either use a Cell Phone camera or the biggest baddest looking Video
camera I could find complete with support truck and assistants, and try
to look like an indie film crew. I doubt the cops would hassle either.
Your tax money is as completely wasted on this as ours is on what we
"laughingly" call airport security.

Sneaky photographers...
Sorry but that guy was being a total dick. he was adversarial by nature
and got what was coming to him - because the police can. It's not the
same as it was only a few years ago, we live in a different society -
admittedly not an ideal society but whose fault is that...
Net result, they have his details and he spent 8 hours detained, so
where is his victory?
If 99 innocent snappers get asked for their details (with nothing to
hide) and the 100th turns out to be a nutter casing the joint, or a
peado or whatever, then my tax money is working. I don't want to live in
fear on the street as I might elsewhere in the world.
