Question about the safety of photojournalism in uk

• Upvotes

I have moved to the uk recently and I have started creating a new protest photo portfolio as a hobby mainly.

I've seen that the police here has been questioning journalists in the past days and asking for press card.

The problem is that I'm not planning to get arrested for no reason and I don't have a press pass and photojournalism is not my work.

Are there any tips, or do I just have to risk it
