Photographers protest UK terror law

London, England (CNN) -- Photographers fed up with being stopped and searched by British police under the country's terrorism laws gathered in London to protest against the practice.
Waving placards with the message, "I am a photographer, not a terrorist," about 2,000 photographers called for more leniency from the British police.
The slogan is the name of a group set up to campaign against certain sections of Britain's Terrorism Act 2000, which was designed to give police greater powers to fight terrorism.
Photographers say they have been unduly targeted by Section 44 of the Act, which allow officers to stop and search people, regardless of whether they have reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.
"We're coming together to show solidarity and to show that we won't be intimidated," said Jonathan Warren, a freelance photographer and one of the founders of the campaign group.

DNA of protesters could be held for life
www.telegraph.co.uk
Anti-war protesters and train spotters arrested under anti-terror laws could have their DNA kept for life under Home Office plans.
Innocent members of the public detained but not charged or convicted under terrorism legislation may never have their profiles wiped from the national database because they are to be treated differently to all other alleged offences.
The proposal is directed at those arrested for suspected terror offences but could apply to anyone held under a Terrorism Act.
