As my son has found out, even if you've done nothing wrong, once a police officer mentions the terrorism act and you refuse to cooperate, you're risking being taken down to the station, held for several hours and intimately strip searched.

Photography in a public space can be a minefield. Although I carry a note similar to the one referred to above (thanks for the link), my wife sometimes gets very nervous when I get my camera out in the street and there's a possibility of people being in shot.
