Certainly photographing children without parents' permission is a bit dubious. But not necessraily because of the photographer. I didn’t know there’d been any problems.

I agree it isn't necessarily the points you say, but it is symptomatic of petty officialdom, particularly those where uniforms go with the job. This certainly isn't a one-off by any means judging by some photography forums I occasionally visit. (The <a href="http://www.samizdata.net/blog/archives/2008/03/if_you_suspect.html" rel="nofollow">Met campaign</a> hasn't helped either) PCSO Bloggs, welcome.

It’s just one plum of a PCSO who needs a bit of ‘retraining’. I know for a fact he’s had a ‘word in his ear’ by a senior officer, so let’s leave it there hay? It’s not a draconian new law or policy, just some numpty PCSO who got it wrong. We are all human; we all get it wrong every now and again.
