to give you an idea of how it is abused here in the UK a guy was on a
train and was so disgusted at the massive overcrowding which led to
cases etc being left in the aisle and other concerns, which he saw as
a breach of safety regulations. he decided that he would photograph
the stuff so he would have proof of conditions and, yes, you guessed
it, was continually warned that what he was doing was illegal due to
anti terrorist legislation.

The issue was explored very recently on NPR with Carlos Miller. Local
laws vary considerably from place to place, and police are often
misinformed about local laws. See <http://carlosmiller.com/>.
