Please read this piece, it's important.
It concerns The 2008 Terrorism Prevention Bill, currently headed toward the Lords.
It does *NOT* take any notice of PACE special procedure material,
This Bill will allow any policeman performing a S44 search to demand your flash cards and remove them to the police station for up to 96hrs. You cannot say no, you commit an imprisonable offence if you obstruct the seizure.
There is no requirement for you or anyone else to have committed any offence, it's just one huge fishing trip to turn us all into spies for the police.
This is absolutely disgraceful."
The above is quoted and adjusted from another list and republished to spread the word.
Please email your local mps, papers, bbc, lord, euro mp and anyone to whom you think relevant.

I haven't gone and read the bill myself to check this out, just passing on what the source for this article is now saying.
Correction
the amended article is still wrong

It would be lawful for a journalist to resist such a search by force if necessary.
