A warning for people visiting London

Mr_JDTraynor [Edit] [Delete] 16 replies 17:25, 8 August '06

If you take a photo or film a video of a tourist attraction, you could be arrested and charged.

  • hilarious

    because, obviously, photos and videos of london landmarks are rilly rilly hard to come across.

      If his particular terror cell are feeling bummed out by his arrest, the least they can do is tune in to the evening news tonight where there's sure to be at least 46 items featuring a correspondents standing in front of well known London landmarks...

    • I refer you to Season 2 of 24

      when talking to Resa he says something like "The Finsbury Park Mosque is in your home town of London".

      Yup, that little village of London. I'm not sure whether it's a damning idictment of the scriptwriters or a nod to the ridculous nature of government organisations! :D

        Simplification for the purposes of brevity and illustration in a TV program. 24 is not a documentary. It's a stupid action show.

        It's more irritating that they no-one gets stuck in traffic in what's supposed to be LA.

        Stealthy @TheoGB | 9 Aug '06, 11:40 | X
  • that's quite crazy.

    until you get to the bit about osama. after which it sounds fairly plausable.
    and you're overreacting.

    • i think the trick is...

      not to possess videos of mr bin laden.

  • what scares me most is that

    I misread one of the last paragraphs as "Mr TRAYNOR said..."

  • this happened to -gen-

    about a year ago, she was given a caution by the police for doing a photographic art project around canary wharf.

    shit be fucked.

    alcxxk | 8 Aug '06, 17:32 | X
    • and she accepted the caution?

      d'oh.
      scary stuff indeed.

      guntrip @alcxxk | 8 Aug '06, 17:34 | X
      • i was taking photos of canary wharf

        on an old SLR. or rather, i was trying to work out how to make the camera Do Stuff. didn't even get round to taking a photo, before i was SET UPON by three policewomen who SHOUTED at me and gave me official looking pieces of paper. having not been in trouble with Ver Law since i was 5, i didn't know what else to do.

        got my own back by going on a late-night reconnaissance photo mission a few weeks later though. yeah. that'll show em. smash the system. anarchy 4 eva. FIGHT THE POWER.

        all i wanted to do was take admirable photos of tall buildings.

        -gen- @guntrip | 9 Aug '06, 03:42 | X
    • ...

      "Photographic art project"

      A likely story! When has that EVER worked?

      Stealthy @alcxxk | 8 Aug '06, 17:35 | X
      • rookie mistake.

        fishplums @Stealthy | 8 Aug '06, 17:36 | X
        • riiiiight.

          and like you can't find exact streetmaps and satellite pictures of central london quite easily on the internet? freaks.

          sarkyfox @fishplums | 8 Aug '06, 17:41 | X
          • Google Earth?

            Why would he need to video the place?
