Nine days ago the European Court of Rights banned the use of the Terrorism Act of 2000 Section 44, declaring it illegal. This move had a massive impact on the rights of street photography, because, it has now prevented the use of the Act to stop photographers and detaining them without resonable suspicion of 'terrorist like' behaviour.
However, a London photographer was yesterday detained near Buckingham Place under just such circumstances. Jules Mattsson, who was photographing cadets for their website and with the permission of their supervisors, had his details taken and was searched by the Metropolitan Police.

This occured just two weeks after Mattsson had been detained by Police in Romford, claiming he represented a terrorism risk. He managed to record the interaction and you can view it on his blog or follow him on twitter for all the latest developments on his case.
