The Beeb had something on their website around photographers rights not too long ago, but this is an interesting read none the less, particularly the photographers rights wallet docs. Shame I can't go to the link though (blocked at work) but I may well print a copy when I get home...
Here's a useful document, which prints out on two sheets of A4, giving advice and info about photographers' rights/responsibilities in UK. Worthwhile keeping a copy in the camera bag, I reckon...

This article reminds me of the security guard they posted here to protect a dam in a small town, 24 hours a day 7 days a week at the tune of $300,000 a year. All because some "suspicious" (read it Middle Eastern looking) guys were taking photos. C'mon now be real Al Quida isnt gonna go out and take photographs of some place they want to bomb.. what they WILL do is load up a truck full of as much explosives as they can get their hands on and go blow it up, simple as that.
Government officials need to refocus their efforts on real security and not harassing your average photographer.

I'll try and find the post, and see what it was....
There is an official petition in the UK;
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to clarify the laws surrounding photography in public places.
