Britons are planning on rallying at Scotland Yard on Feb 16 to protest
the new law that lets the cops throw you in jail for ten years for
photographing them in action, if your photo is "likely to be useful to
a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism."

The National Union of Journalists, in association with British
Journal of Photography, has called for photographers to make their
voices heard at a rally on 16 February as a new law is introduced that
allows for the arrest - and potential imprisonment - of anyone who
takes pictures of police officers 'likely to be useful to a person
committing or preparing an act of terrorism'...
Maybe the could invite Rodney King to speak about whether photographing
the police in action is "likely to be useful to a person committing or
preparing an act of terrorism".

Or maybe the purpose is to shield those who engage in state sponsored
terrorism.
