The grab of the camera should be treated as assault and a prosecution brought, possibly backed by the NUJ. we must stand up for our rights or lose them. Also spurious actions with the excuse of the terrorism act when it is clearly not so should be challenged in court. We all want a quiet life, but misfeance in public office is a real offence and when documented should be prosecuted.

The stop happens towards the end of the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxXfcgC67Z4 Is it Metropolitan Police policy to discourage the media from reporting these protests? Is it coincidence that the protests are in solidarity with protests against police violence?
