#11 I expect that a Moo card was about the only thing he had on him to "prove" he's a photographer. Not that you should need to prove anything.

Every time something like this happens, we need to keep highlighting it until police and security guards begin to understand that it's not illegal to take photos in public places.

The UK has more CCTV cameras per head than anywhere else in the world. We're under surveillance pretty much everywhere we go. If "they" can take photos of us, then we're allowed to take photos of "them".

I notice from Neil Gaiman's site that he's well aware of this issue and even namecheck's Cory. He's trying to do something about it.
