I think you're 100% wrong on this, Cotty. I refer you to Willcock vs Muckle:

The PCSO in that film was an idiot, which is to be expected of PCSOs. The
policewoman was bang out of order, abusing her authority. The photographer
appears to know his rights rather more than most of us do, so presumably was
deliberately pushing for this to happen, just as Willcock did in 1951, but
somebody needs to put a stop to this type of abuse of authority.
Hmm - there is nothing in the above para that I disagree with except the
abuse of authority bit. If the police have the power to stop and search
under a lawful act, how is that an abuse of authority?
In any society you're going to get unscripted and spontaneous incidents
on the ground and these probably happen in the dozens in the UK every
day. Name me a few countries in the world where this sort of incident
would have had a better outcome and I will consider moving there.
Fremantle, Australia.
Today I spent 5 hours wandering the streets of Fremantle with a few
photographer friends. We were very obvious, and we didn't get any
particularly strange looks (we do silly looking things when we get
together).
The only time the cops approached us is after we talked a couple of
pretty little things to pose on the median strip in the centre of the
main street with cars driving past on either side. And they were more
concerned for us getting hit by an idiot driver, than the fact.
...we were taking photos
Glad you clarified that.
You should move here anyway for the scenery. I have a sore neck from
constantly snapping if left& right. I was spoilt for choice& didn't
know where to look.
Gawd I love hot summer evenings.
