No- because the photos you take are unlikely to be "evidence quality"
What gets me is when the police say you're not allowed to film said "scrotes" because it's an invasion of
their privacy. It's not remotely illegal, but what they are doing
is.

hmm not strictly true.. it is an offence to take pictures of bank notes.. theres some other stuff as well  |
There are many official documents that you're not allowed to reproduce: In our line of work, the one we see all the time is the wedding register. Photographing them (specifically) isn't against the law. It's making unauthorised duplicates that's the problem - so any form of photocopying is wrong, including photography and videography.
Taking photos on private property is also only a problem if the owner demands that you stop and you don't; and even then the best they can do is eject you from the property and accuse you of trespass if you don't go.

I've had that too, after a theft at the building site around the corner. Plus I've had the Accy Observer ask if the
Great Harwood webcam picked up images of the people vandalising the nativity crib.
