Arbitrary authoritarianism imposed by jobsworths who seek to stop photographers providing us with a record of everyday life and critical moments in history are the subject of this compelling interview. Pauline Hadaway is Director of the unique photography gallery Belfast Exposed and authored the report Policing the Public Gaze published by the Manifesto Club.

Accompanying this filmed interview is WORLDbytes report title Freedom to Film. WORLDbytes' crews of young volunteers learning to shoot alternative news programmes are regularly stopped from filming on the streets of London. Yet it is not against the law to film in public spaces, to investigate what the public think and let people have their say on issues of the day. Sick of being stopped, volunteers made a stand against the arbitrary interference suffered by photographers and film makers and achieved a one day victory for citizen journalism. In future they'll certainly question instructions to 'move on' and need your support. Watch and comment here http://www.worldbytes.org/programmes/013/013_003.html
