BBC Scotland, Scottish Television (ITV1) and Sky have all been served papers to hand over all footage of the G8 protests.
The BBC has handed over 15 tapes, and STV handed over 10. As yet Sky have not handed any footage over. The BBC's lawyers have managed to curtail the police's search powers, and minimised the amount of tapes seized according to thier article at:
