Interesting encounter with Greenpeace chuggers recently. I'd taken a few pictures and wandered off and one of them decided to follow me!
Chugger: Excuse me
CM: (turns round to see a Greenpeace Chugger) Oh! No thanks!
Chugger: Can I have a word with you?
CM: No Thanks! (Carries on walking)
Chugger: (mumbles – didn't catch it)
CM: No Thanks!
Chugger: We’re just going to call the Police now
CM: Really!!! (Continues walking away – chugger gives up)
So, a somewhat persistent and aggressive tactic? I don't think so. He was well out of the main chugging zone so I suspect he wanted to object to my photography. I know that a few other anti-chuggers have had similar problems - although not necessarily with Greenpeace.
Was I breaking a law? Probably not.
(As part of Greenpeace is not a charity, you can be picky and say they can't be Chuggers)

Please refer to my previous post with regards to photographing or filming chuggers in 'Dealing with Persistant Chuggers'. I have been advised by the police and the local council that this is NOT illegal. Please go ahead and post on Youtube. The agencies hate it and if if became a national thing they won't last long.
Self regulation by the sector cannot work as they have vested interests. Regulation by the people via the power of the internet will work. Name and shame them and they can't do anyting about it...apart from behave themselves of course.
