Has anyone any personal experience of difficulties with either Police, or other Authority regarding taking photographs in a public place? There have been many reports of photographers having had cameras/data cards 'confiscated' under anti terrorist laws. Later, reports from Senior Police Officers belie this and say no such powers exist? Anyone had any 'actual' experiences? My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I quite often take photos at RTC's, and do have to be careful then, obviously we can't identify the patient or car reg etc ..... but it comes in handy when we hand the patient over in A&E, it gives the staff an idea of the mechanisms involved.
