This means that if i film a policeman while he is questioning me about an incident, as a record and perhaps evidence of such event, i would be commiting an offence which rather than protect me, could get me imprisoned?

Not hobbies or media, unless it's in a zone which the legislation prohibits. This isn't an erosion of liberties, it's common sense, providing police services with the appropriate means to combat people who want to blow us up.

Stop and ask yourself why this rotten government is giving the fascist police more and more power to act undemocratically? The answer is simple: They know the British people will eventually say enough is enough. Remember to poll tax riots that brought Thatcher down? NuLabour will do anything to avoid that scenario, including shooting people (more and more police are routinely armed)in the streets, if necessary. It is likely this fascist government will be brought down in the next election..that is, if there is one. My father fought a war to stop dictators like Tont Bliar and Gordon Clown having power.

Even before the rise of the "war on terror" Britain has been walking down the path toward becoming a tightly controlled police state. This is just another step that the UK government is taking toward its fascist future. Horrible, but not at all surprising.

I thought things were bad here in the U.S. with security guards and police officers intimidating photographers for merely taking pictures of buildings from public streets, but at the moment we still have the law on our side.

Last time we had similar rules in my country we were - according to the UK - a "communist dictatorship". And Zen Elements, there was a guy who had a hobby of taking pictures of buses. He was reported and the police told him not to do it again. It was for the "safety of children", not a terrorism related thing though. It’s ridiculous.
