So, after my two posts about this topic yesterday I thought I'd shut up about it for a while.
However, in the post this morning, along with my copy of Practical Photographer (which reminded me that I'd forgotten to enter the competition to win a Nikon D300, which I'd been coveting. Meh.) was a letter from my MP, Ben Wallace, to whom I wrote about this matter last Saturday. It reads:
Dear Mr Binns,
Thank you for your email of 12 April about photography in public places.
I am sure you will be pleased to hear that I have now signed Early Day Motion 1155 which urges the Home Office and Association of Police Officers to agree on a photography code for Police Officers on the ground, setting out the public's right to photograph public places and therefore enabling photographers to enjoy their hobby without unjustified suspicion.
Kind regards,
Ben Wallace
It's nice to know that writing to your MP really does work sometimes.
