The poilce and terrorismThe poilce visited the University in order to inform us about photography and terrorism and how to react to this.
Many photographers can be questioned by officers of the law whilst taking photographs as it can be mistaken for gathering information on a place, this is usually if a photographer visits a place several times to take imagery or if a artist is somewhere that is not usually of interest and can be deemed suspicious.
If a poilce officer approaches us as amatuer photographers it is important to remain calm and just explain what we are doing and maybe present a student card.
It is also important as photographers to note any other people in areas who are acting suspicious whom we might deem or think are involved in terrorism and in this scenario we must report this by contacting the local poilce.
