What if the guy was taking pictures of kids?
Totally agree with you bud....I'm sorry, but your post reflects the paranoia of the society in which we now live.
I take pictures of adults. I take pictures of kids. I take pictures of animals. I take pictures of scenery.

but I also understood the reason why.
Did you? Millions of us don't.
Ok. Here is the thing...there is a lot of weird people out there blowing up cars, buses and alsos sorts of things, terrorists in general.
The only thing the officer wanted was his name to check him out and see if he had similar problems before, if not (and that was the case) he would be in his way if no problem. But because he refused of course they got suspecious about him.
imagine this scenario...he in fact is a terrorist and couple of weeks later he blows somthing up in that area and kill 100's and the cctv sees that couple weeks before he was studing the area taking photos and stuff. what would you say? "why they didnt stop him, police are not tough enough"
is it so wrong to a officer exercise his duty promptly? whats is the problem in giving your name just for a quick check?
is not about how polite he is/was. there is criminal out there using suit. you never know who you are dealing with.
Police some times get it wrong but in this particular case the guy was being stubborn. Police don't know who you are or what you are capable of until they KNOW WHO YOU ARE. and this can only be done if you give your freaking name!
Who the fook goes to Accrington town centre to test a new camera, you could do that in your back garden.
He was out baiting the old bill to try and make a name for himself,what was so wrong about giving your name and going on with what you were doing.
They should have arrested the stupid cnut and kicked the crap out of him, teach the twat a lesson.
Can not believe some of you did not see this as a set up.
Sorry mate but i dont take your point at all.
I would be stubborn aswell and if we get into this paranoid way of thinking then its the start of a downward hill.
Terrorist attacks are rare and if they are gonna happen then they will happen and checking people in the street for taking pictures wont make any difference.
Infact by doing so we play right in to the terrorists hands by living in fear.
