The case in which Nottingham freelance photographer Alan Lodge is denying obstructing a police officer has been adjourned until 5 March.
Lodge, who was arrested in March and had his camera confiscated when taking photographs of an armed police response unit, was given unconditional bail.
The case was adjourned because Lodge's defence team had not been given access to a memory stick containing around 50 shots taken during the incident, which they claim are critical sources of evidence.
The Crown Prosecution Service has 21 days to give the defence access to the memory stick or to provide legal arguments for not doing so.
