Yeah heard this aswell. f**king bile.

 

[jam.]

It's utterly f**king bonkers. And this isn't the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. Sadly.

Abuse of power is an understatement there IMO even the shopping centre security should of had a more professional approch about it BEFORE calling police

 

[baggyboy12]

That really is ridiculous. The security guard is in the wrong IMO for wasting police time. It wouldn't have got that ridiculous if he had used some common sense and just asked the dad to leave. If he has to call the police over something like that then he clearly can't do his job properly! And surely it isn't "illegal" as its just a rule of the shopping place as supposed to law? lol has annoyed me now!

There's only one way to deal with this, a Public Inquiry. Headed by the former Met Police Chief Sir Paul Stephenson to make sure it's independent.
To report by 2014.
Seriously though, it is ridiculous but some people have to live with this sort of thing every day of their lives.

Wow. Absolutely absurd!

Well there was a no photography sign, but it is utterly ridiculous. I'm actually looking forward to the day someone asks me to stop taking photos, oh boy will they be in for a fun ride!

 

[C.J]

Poor bloke. Total embarrassment.

That I would love to see! What would you tell them Dan?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Well I would make sure I'm in the right, so on public ground. I would be completely polite though, reacting the same as those togs on that video that did the rondos a while back (togs shooting in London)

 

[Tigger]

Yeah I mind that was posted on here too - first thing I thought about when I was reading about this actually

 

[aucky]

Jeez.
There are obviously a lot of fair, grounded police out there but there seems to be so many power crazed idiots in the forces. Poor bloke

 

[Adam.]

Strathclyde Police....that is all .

 

[Mr Pants]

Bloody stupid.

I love how the likes of Facebook and Twitter (well social media in general I suppose) can be used in such smart and creative ways. Fair play to the bloke.

 

[koi]

Can't see the fb link but it's crazy what happened, photography meet at Braehead anyone

 

[gsums]

When i first read it the video popped into my head first aswell, shame on the fella who was taking a nice pic of his daughter tbh and the memories of this pic will now be ruined from a good day out eating ice cream to being a 'terrorist', at first i thought the security gaurd has just let a bit authority go to his head but when the police were on his side it became a joke, Agree with above though photography meet in the centre and get all the flashes going security would go crazy haha!!

 

[SamP]

I'm just used to it now, I just say im leaving and come back later. Gets boring tbh.

If you'd use a Nikon they might not mind you taking photos tbh

 

[Scott™]

It is so stupid. Got asked to stop taking pictures of Cardiff City football stadium, which I obliged to do as I was on their property. I moved to the pavement and continued. I was asked to stop again to which I told him to jog on or phone the police. Nothing ever came of it.

 

[Adam.]

Amazing the power social networking has!

[Tigger]

Bloody hell! Just need an apology now from the nice policemen

 

[gsums]

spokesman from the police said the following… "As a result a full review of the circumstances surrounding the incident and the allegations made is under way."
This is police talk for were making you think we are dealling with it but were not really. haha you will never get an appology from them. true though the powers of social networks eh.

White lenses stand out more iirc.

 

[Tigger]

Exactly lol
