[2009] EWCA Civ 414

The taking and retention of photographs by the police of a person connected with a group opposed to the arms trade as he left the annual general meeting of a company that organised a trade fair for the arms industry was an interference with that person's right to respect for his private life under the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.8(1) and the police failed to justify that interference as proportionate under art.8(2).
