Our officers do receive guidance around the issue of photography through briefings and internal communications and we continue to drive this work forward.<br />‘It is therefore disappointing when this guidance in not followed correctly.”Blood and Propertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938733379301047398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986344565389634695.post-41539218697027028362010-08-03T23:58:53.119-07:002010-08-03T23:58:53.119-07:00Hope this does not become a common thing, what hap...Hope this does not become a common thing, what happened to "freedom of the press" I can understand somethings would be best published at a certain time ie after relatives are informed in the case of a tragedy, but that should be down to the editor. I understand even the papers get it wrong, in the case of Cerys Potter they printed a picture of someone else with the same name which was supplied by a news agency but to stop the photographer in a public place might be going too far. Time will tell I guess but if that happens when the police decide, then people will start to believe in cover ups.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221547022049920990noreply@blogger.com
