A BBC news website item (at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/4837206.stm) states that
Section 64A of the [1984 Police & Criminal Evidence] Act allows police to
take photographs without consent but only if lawfully detained at a police
station.
Really? And if so, how come the Police so openly (and at times
confrontationally) take photographs of people at peaceful demos?
