Photoparanoia

Well if you will go taking photos in that town Lilly............

That shot is close to where my wife works, and hence I know the town is quite depressed at the moment. The recent town improvements which dug up the main street for months have hit trade so badly, almost half of the shops have closed down. Additionally, there was a fairly major police operation centered on a house just out of shot of your picture a few months ago! Considering the above, local paranoia is running fairly high, and the traders are struggling to make a living. That said, it don't excuse such behavour!

Saw this on the Beeb site today:

This is the petition that was mentioned in the BBC article: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/photographylaw, if you're a British subject or resident it might be a good idea to sign it.
