A few days back I posted a short and somewhat humorous piece from the Colbert Report about a poor chap who was arrested by Amtrak rent-a-cops for taking photos of trains for an Amtrak photo contest. Well today, care of "A Photo Editor" I found a much less funny example from across the Atlantic. England has just passed laws that allow the arrest of photographers and confiscation of their equipment if there is reason to suspect that their images could be used in the planning of terrorist attacks.

It's madness I tell you! And another warning to stay vigilant about our rights on this side of the pond.
