No Filming on Public Land: You’re Under ’Terrorist Law’
Peter Walker
guardian.co.uk
Media and civil liberties groups have expressed alarm after the managers of an Olympic venue pledged to intercept and question anyone seen photographing or filming the site, even from public land, and defended security guards who wrongly tried to invoke terrorist laws to prevent footage being shot of the arena.
The stance taken by the O2 in Greenwich, south-east London, which will host this summer’s basketball, wheelchair basketball, artistic gymnastic and trampoline events, highlights wider concerns that Olympic securityoperations could see photographers, film crews and even members of the public harassed for entirely legal activities.
John Toner from the National Union of Journalists said he would seek an urgent meeting with managers of the O2, saying their tactics had no basis in law. “I’m stunned, and what they say is utterly outrageous,” he said.
While there are strict photography rules inside Olympic venues and on many other private spaces, when standing on public land the press and public have a clear right to shoot still or moving images.
Ahead of the Games, police and the security industry have sought to train staff about this aspect of the law. There have nonetheless been a series of incidents in recent months in which photographers have been challenged while working on public land, especially in London.
As an experiment, the Guardian attempted to shoot video footage of the O2 arena from a public road on its southern edge, only a few minutes’ walk from the main entrance.

Because they dont wish someone to catch something on camera that they dont wish you to see.. yknow like 911…….. there games are to obvious
WHY WERE THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE PART OF THE OPENING CELEBRATION SWORN TO SECRECY AFTER THEY LEAVE AND GO HOME, INCLUDING SAYING ANYTHING TO THEIR FAMILIES UPON ARRIVING HOME ??????? SOUNDS FISHY TO ME. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?
can only be under terrorist law if the terrorists are in charge… So now we know for definite!
I’d do it, they just wouldn’t catch me.
LOL What do you expect, you pay peanuts you get monkies. There is no law that states it is illigal to film anything anywhere in the UK as long as it’s not infringing on someones privacy, ie secretly filming someone inside their private home through a window. Even then you can get away with it, if it’s in the publics interest, as in research jounalism.
