There isn't a written law against it, but perhaps it could be argued as perversion of justice or similar.
I've certainly heard of people getting pulled over for it. |

Apparently comes under the act of perverting the course of justice

Last summer we wrote out a sign & put it on a lamp post near a local bike meet warning approaching riders of a camera van up the road - the police came along along, took it down & threatened to arrest us for "preventing a police officer from doing his lawful duty".
Smart alec 'mate' then proceeded to tell young copper that if camera's were there for safety reasons then we were in fact HELPING the police - took a lot of fast & smooth talking + a certain amount of toadying to get away from situation
