My MP basically thought it was a fuss over nothing and she didn't think it was worth worrying about.

Mine has not yet even acknowledged my contact with him.

same here, we he can't ignore me face to face, im going to one of his "surgeries"

I've had a letter back from Alan Meale saying he share's my view and has signed the EDM.

Cheers

going to see mine this evening, let you know how it goes

I see there's an artice on bbc.co.uk today about this.

They've exagerated a little saying that 150 MP's have signed so far but I looked it up and it actually looks like 131 to date. It made interesting reading though, and if you haven't already done so I still think it's worth asking your MP to sign it.

Mine (Jim Dowd) has agreed to sign, however due to parliment being in an Easter Recess at the moment cannot sign untill it recoveens, but has promised to sign when it does

Don, Mine isnt on the list yet (Bob Blizzard) but we will see

Dear Bob Blizzard,

I am writing to ask if you support
' EDM 1155-PHOTOGRAPHY IN PUBLIC AREAS'

I am a member of your constituency currently serving in the Army.
As a serving soldier I understand the need for heightened vigilance
more than most, however, I am sure that while a terrorist/ criminal may
well use a camera to recce a target they probably would not be trying
to draw attention to themselves by using several thousand pounds worth
of (bulky & obvious) camera equipment.

the police and their support need to be made aware of the publics
rights as pertaining to photography, I am sure I would be able to calm
any officers worries by producing my ID and identifying myself, but not
all your constituents have that option.

I hope that you will support this

Yours sincerely,
