[videoblogging] London Police Poster Against Street Photography

2008-03-29 Thread Gena
This is an extract from the Times Online UK article:

"Now, a new poster campaign by the Metropolitan Police is inviting
Londoners to call a hotline if they don't like the look of a
photographer. "Thousands of people take photos every day," runs the
text. "What if one of them seems odd?" The poster states that
terrorists use cameras for surveillance. Life with a camera might be
about to turn tougher."

First France with laws on the books on no photography on police
activities. Now the police in the UK are trying a variation by asking
citizens to profiling and suppressing street photography.

Not that this hasn't been tried in the U.S.

Boing Boing was on this and you can see some of the parodies that the
UK police poster inspired.
