Cameras, police, and the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Why all the fuss - comuters/ cameras/ police have rights/ no rights.
If anybody makes you delete photographs from your camera card - OK. Take the card home - run Photorecovery and BINGO photos back. The police, in this case, don't seem to know, that, when a photo is deleted on a card it remains there until such time as the card runs out of space and only then will the next photo taken overwrite a deleted one. I'v had to use Photorecovery a couple of times when I inadvetantly deleted photos. It was scary what Photorecovery got back.

You can alter your filtering in Internet Options, so probably changing the level of security will do the trick.

I was apprehended by military personnel in December 2006, deleted images (non of anything they were guarding) and did same, recovered them later.

Quite an experience. Actually expected to loose the cameras.
Even the mobile phones had to be wiped.

I guess that goes with the territory.

I guess it serves you right. You tried it on and I guess they won except for the images. I have seen people shot at for less in your part of the world so if I was you I think you a few good prayers of thanks.

Didn't try it on Ian, just happened to have camera's in view at the wrong place and time. As for shot at, we lost fourteen colleagues in Basrah, Iraq, that was as close to date, as I been to a body bag.
