I have blogged on exactly the same issue today, following an unsavoury incident when I too was detained in a police car simply for taking photographs.

As one of the Pro-Imaging people behind the Bill of Rights campaign many thanks for picking up on it and publicising it. We already have had one camera manufacturer change their rules in response to our campaign. In another the legal services section of a government agency wants to involve us in the drafting process of IP T&C’s for future contests.

The campaign is all about education, educating entrants, and educating contest promoters and sponsors. We are expanding the range of competitions being reported through a new fast track process here -

We want contributions from everyone about competitions they encounter, both good and bad. We especially want to know about good ones, the more of these we can list the better - people will tend to go there instead and the people running bad competitions will be starved of submissions.

Competitions can be notified to us at competitions@pro-imaging.org Thanks for your help.
