The City of London Police has repeated its call for photographers to carry identification in spite of insistence by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) that photographers do not need to identify themselves.

ACPO spokesman Andy Trotter told the BBC's Jeremy Vine radio show on Monday: 'The photographer is not required to give their details.'

He confirmed that this is the case even if police decide to conduct a Section 44 anti-terrorism Stop and Search.

Trotter then added that officers cannot arrest a photographer who refuses to supply this information.
