"Stephen Clarke, a man who was accused to taking pictures of sewer-gratings in Manchester and arrested. Though the police couldn't find any photos of sewer-gratings on his phone (and even though "what a sewer grating looks like" isn't a piece of specialized terrorist intelligence), he was held on suspicion of planning an act of terror, imprisoned for two days while the police searched his home, his phone and his computer. When they couldn't find anything suspicious, they released him, but kept his DNA on file, as the biometric of someone who had been accused of plotting a terrorist act. "
Watch some video of Stephen Clarke's story here...
Why are the "powers that be" so obsessed with photographers, is it as was suggested last week - "because cameras can be used to document offences of the state against civilians; as such, they were considered a tool that can bring about civil unrest and encourage protest against the ... Governments" - and surely it is wrong for Stephen Clarke to be held in a police cell for two days and have his DNA taken even though he was not charged.
