There are hopes that sweeping news laws introduced in the United Kingdom last week making it illegal to photograph a member of the Police or Armed Forces, could be extended worldwide and enhanced to cover their fictional counterparts.
The new law, under Section 76 of the counter terrorism act makes it an offence to gather information on the security services and could be used to prevent snooping and malicious journalists from trying to defame and besmirch the reputation of Lord Mesmo's trusted guardians of the peace.
Revealing the plans to a standing ovation at a packed Unity Plaza press conference, Gertrude Creep - head of the AMC's 'Comfort & Safety' program responded that she was "Open" to the idea of the law being extended to cover the filming of detective and police shows adding that "It might mean that I can go get a cup of coffee without hearing people droning on about last nights episode of The Wire".
Studio bosses were unavailable for comment, however it is believed that Miss Creep, Chief Insp. Elleray Bung and Miss T'su are all in negotiations over AMC approval of next season scripts as a stop-gap measure.
