Yes I have been stopped, by a PCSO and the stop included a threat to confiscate my camera if I did not stop taking pictures.

I politely "saw off" the PCSO by asking him to bring a police constable and I subsequently wrote to the local Chief Constable, but never got a satisfactory response. The essence of the reply that I received was that the matter had been investigated and the PCSO "has been found to have acted according to his duties".

The incident would not stop me from taking pictures in public in future and indeed I have since taken many pictures around the location at which I was stopped.
