67020 on Open Golf Duties

With thousands of Golf enthusiasts gathering at the home of golf , St.Andrews , 67020 finds itself in charge of some Golfex Specials. Her we see it with a rake of 'Intercity' blue and grey liveried coaches thundering through Ladybank Station in Fife on it way to Leuchars. This rural station is absolutely bristling with CCTV cameras , so much so , that when my father and I met up for this photography day out , we were at Ladybank for some time when a uniformed cop approached us to find out what we were doing?. He produced a 'Terrorist Act 2000' form and took our names. This is the country we live in today!!

Isn't it bad enough being labelled an anorak for taking such pictures.... and now a potential terororist as well !

I put "anonymous" in Dave it was actually blank so totally anon.
Your experience is typical of what happens regularly nowadays despite the police having been told to use commonsense. Not quite as bad as when the Devon and Cornwall Police helicopter made a detour and dropped a few hundred feet to see what I and a fellow cameraman were doing alongside the line!!! They didn't land....

Paranoia could be catching!

I remember being at one of the Glasgow suburban stations where the CCTV operator was going hysterical over the tannoy to get two enthusiasts to stop taking photos. Meanwhile just along from them a chap was punching a girl.....
