Judges have ruled that the Met. must destroy photos of arms trade campaigner Andrew Wood, according to the BBC. Andrew Wood, like many protesters these days, was photographed, asked questions and harassed by police whilst attending the AGM of an arms company (which, as a token shareholder, he was entitled to attend). He was not arrested or charged with any crime so judges have ruled the retention by the police of photos of him at the AGM is wrong. Please see the original MSM article below:

This may be a turning point in protest movements fighting back through the courts at invasive and unjustified surveillance, however, as in the parallel situation of innocent people seeking to remove their DNA from police databases, I expect the police to appeal, drag their feet and finally agree to remove data, photo's etc from the databases years, even decades, later by which time the damage is most certainly done.
