Can I just stop you? You have not read the last phrase of that paragraph. It says: “---unless the reference to them is necessary for the full, fair and accurate reporting of the crime.” So, if they have to photograph somebody and if by carrying that photo-work it will lead to accurate reporting of the crime or proceedings, they are free to do so.
