Are we guilty until proved innocent?

I've never had problems with taking pictures when travelling in UK.
No cop or anyting came.

Did not even know there was a law against it.

Was it just chance that google managed to photo everything for the street maps before this law came out.

There wasn't!

Interesting - I wonder what response you would get?

Aha, so if I go to england now I can't take any photos...
Think I stay here then, where it is allowed to take photos of everyone and everything, as long as it is a public space.

Until recently, the same applied here in the UK. If you were standing in/on a public space you could photograph freely.
Then it started that you could not take photographs of young children without the specific permission of the parents of all those that might be in the field of view. Now you risk arrest if a police officer is around as you might be construed to be a terrorist.

You can certainly take photos, it seems you just have to be careful what subject you are photographing and have a valid reason ready.
Nobody is going to bother about tourist photos but what they are saying is no photos of police, military or other security related subjects that could be twisted round to make you look suspect.
