Tory Trainspotter Terrorist Threat
Tory MP stopped and searched by police for taking photos of cycle path - Telegraph
...the two officers insisted on searching him after they told him they thought he was taking photos of East Croydon train station.
They searched his bag, but after finding nothing of interest they sent the MP on his way.
Mr Pelling said: "It is pleasing to see just how vigilant our police is at these times of heightened international political tension and the risk of terrorism here at home.
"I am glad my stop and search account as a white, middle-aged male shows that anyone can be suspected of, and questioned about, terrorism, regardless of race, creed or colour.
A police spokeswoman said: "An officer stopped and searched a man's bag in Cherry Orchard Road on December 30, under section 44 of the Terrorism Act.
"The officer conducted a stop-and-search, taking into account the current terror threat, as he was taking pictures in the vicinity of a major transport hub."
