Then there is the Data protection act with you noting down data relating to an individual and from which the individual can be identified . You can also be charged with obstructing a police officer in the execution of his/her duty. This basically means doing anything that makes it more difficult for the police to carry out their duties properly and effectively, so for instance by pretending to be an "enforcement officer" could lead to a person ignoring a real enforcement officer. Let's hope you don't capture a picture of a child, that would be a shame to be labelled as an unsavoury type of observer.... and then there is the risk of a motorist suing your butt off for causing him to crash as you were distracting him whilst trying to play rentacop and getting them to say cheese. If perchance a local driver does have the misfortune of being photographed by you whilst driving at excessive speed and the rozzers do indeed have a word in his shell-like then i don't reckon your house will be very warm in winter with it's windows all broken....oh wait....then again another busted local driver might come along with a little housewarming present for you....problem solved!. Just hope you don't get clipped by a passing motorist and end up in the ditch nursing a bruised egp as due to NHS cutbacks, the local hospital might just not have enough bandages to wrap it all up...ach never mind, there's always a bottle of vinegar and some brown paper down the local chipshop but don't rush to get there, a silly old codger might take your pic on the way.......Next!!!
