It's also incorrect (or even opportunist), because the new law doesn't 
make photography any more difficult. People constantly claiming it does 
are compounding the felony.

There are many similarities with the mistaken "RIPA allows councils to 
do surveillance", when in fact what it does is make them do some 
paperwork regarding the surveillance they were doing already.
