Taking photographs of a police officer

The idea

Please amend the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 to make it clear that members of the public can photograph police officers without fear of harassment or prosecution.  At the moment it can be (ab)used by police to stop people taking photos of police officers.  See http://www.bjp-online.com/british-journal-of-photography/news/1644048/jail-photographing-police

Why is it important?

Police officers in uniform are meant to be visible to the public and accountable for their behaviour.  It is essential that people be allowed to photograph them in public places.
