That's a wonderful example of juxtaposaition in street photography. Good for you on getting out in the rain and turning the weather into an opportunity.

How within the law are they able to enforce their own rules, as far as I can see their only options are to tell the person to stop or ask them to leave their property, that's it. If the person refuses to do either then the police should be called to have the person removed from their property, those are their only options.
The security guard should ask you stop taking pictures and if you refuse escort you out. It shouldn't involve the police at all as taking pictures on private prperty is not a criminal offence, unless its a security sensitive area or the conduct of the photographer is likely to cause a breach of the peace. Or, of course, there is a genuine suspicion the person is taking pictures as part of criminal activity such as terrorism, casing a jewellers shop prior to staging a raid there, preying on children or generally being a nuisance.
But its preposterous to suppose that any real criminal activity would be conducted in such a way as to attract the attention of staff and security guards.

I agree with Ted, to suggest deleting the images is a no-no for several reasons, the main one being loss of vital evidence should the photographer turn out to be a real terrorist.
Its also interesting that someone with a mobile phone was challenged, its usually those with DSLRs who suffer this nonsense.

One of the largest is the MetroCentre on Tyneside. There you can take photos providing you make yourself known to the information desk who get security to issue you with a permit.

As he is resident in Scotland, I am tempted to describe him as the William McGonagall of photography.

Is this overdone? It began life as a straight colour shot on my K5 of a musician in Bath, it then became a mono image and then the victim of some slight work in Photoshop.

Begin your portrait career by attending events where people have dressed up specially and welcome having photos taken.
Battle re-enactments, the Whitby Goths Festival, 1940s themed events such as the Pickering War Weekend organised by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and similar themes staged by some of the other restored steam railways.
In the North East there's Durham Miners' Gala, Chinese New Year celebrations in Newcastle, which also has a zombie event and Beamish Museum.
Street festivals, agricultural shows, village shows, flower shows, dog shows - these all provide photo opportunities where the majority of participants are happy to pose.
There are events such as these all over the country.
By working with willing subjects you gain confidence to go on and approach total strangers who you think may make good models.
Your address is in London - the photo opportunities there must be endless.

They are discussing it on the Jeremy Vine show.

Apparently, there are scantily clad girls draping themselves over gravestones followed around by packs of old codgers.

Surely not
You watch the Jeremy Vine Show Adrian?

OOPS: Just realised, I was thinking of the Jeremy Kyle Show.
