The police were not alerted by anyone other than a PCSO who did not know what she was talking about.

His "attitude" is one of being pi$$ed off with being hassled by the police for legally taking photographs.

Wake UP and see whats happening all around, peoples rights are being screwed over by the police, using any act they can think of just to do so.

There are examples of this all over the web.

He was released without charge, so obviously someone at the station saw sense.

He committed no crime and was not doing anything illegal, he was 100% correct in what he said - you are not required to give your details to the police just because they ask for them.
You have to have broken the law first or they must have a good suspicion that you have (and be able to explain what their reasoning for it is).
