Well nappy sales will go up.

The more they mess the worse their downfall will be. So if I take a photo of say Broadway I am gonna cop a load for it well err I dont think so its still a free country. Its about time these idiots did a proper job or put them on the dole.

the general aim of this 'possible' legislation is to stop teh papparazzi type from invading privacy.

I find it strange to think that taking pictures outside will be illegal when probably 75% of the population are walking round with camera phones taking pictures left right and central. Then you get situations like car accidents. One of the best things you can do is take photos to prove the positioning of cars.

sounds like legislation that would be ignored as the Police would not be able to keep up with all the paperwork involved

So does this mean that all the purveyors of CCTV will also be breaking the law.

This government is so far up it's own backside that it is in need of a Davey Lamp and a canary!

Permission to breathe Mr Blair please

so if rich and famous people moan enough they can get their own way ?

sory but if you dot like been in the public eye dont be famous

[lancsdave]

I suppose the one saving grace is that we won't have to see pictures of smug MP's kissing babies all over the papers every general election

[K.S.H]

Surely this will mean speed cameras will be illegal too, anyway they got to catch you 1st, they won't stop me going out with mine
