Thursday 26 February 2009: Following the arrival of the new 2008 Counter Terrorism law and the introduction of Section 76, the London PhotoForum held a meeting on photographers rights.
Section 76 allows for the arrest and imprisonment of anyone who takes pictures of police officers, and some other public servants, “likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”. The maximum sentence is ten years.
This NUJ-funded film comprises of two speakers on the issue of photography rights, Anna Mazzola from Hickman and Rose solicitors and photographer Peter Macdiarmid. Experiences of working the streets of the UK, police guidelines, Section 76, stop and search powers and what to do if you detained by police are all covered in this vital reference film for photographers and other lens-based media, both amateur and professional.
