Executive director of the Society of Editors Bob Satchwell said today that he intends to raise the issue of the photographer who was threatened with arrest if she didn’t delete images with the Association of Chief Police Officers.

Freelance Carmen Valino was threatened with arrest at the scene of a shooting in Hackney, East London, on Saturday while on assignment for the Hackney Gazette.

The incident came despite ACPO having issued guidelines stressing that press photographers should not be made to delete photos by serving officers.
