Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey Kevin Hurley has warned that "we are all going to be less safe" as a result of the ongoing police crackdown on journalists and their paid sources in the police and elsewhere.

Radio 4 Today Programme home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reported yesterday (two hours and ten minutes in to this download) that 57 journalists have been arrested (two more than Press Gazette's estimate of at least 55) so far in the various hacking related police inquiries.

He said: "I think that is fuelling the concerns that this is perhaps having a corrosive effect on the relationship between the police and the media. It also has the potential of stifling free speech, and stifling people who want to come out and express what’s going on in policing.”
