If I am mistaken, then I apologise and the police should be condemned – both for targeting journalists and their stupidity. That is what I was I was told (by a fellow protester).

With the library being automated and fully computerised can I now expect a visit to my house too? I agree with Paul too: all facts are important. Still the fact that a guideline on how to use the Freedom of Information Act is considered potential evidence is amazing. I just borrowed YRTK from the local library.

However, on this occasion I think that you should point out that the reason they raided his home was not because he had covered the protest, as a journalist, but because he had allowed his car to be used to store equipment used by the protesters. The reason I say this is neither because I am sympathetic to the police not unsympathetic to the protest, but because I think that we weaken our case if we are economic with the facts.
