Default Spotting at the Fenceline

I've always thought that the three metre rule applied only to stepladders - I've seen plenty of photos posted here that were taken through the fence, and I've taken plenty of photos at the perimeter fence myself over the years. In that time, all of my interactions with AFP and airside security at the perimeter have been positive, and if I've ever been moved away from the fenceline, it's only because some diplomatic arrival was imminent. Just the other night at DOM 6 though, I got approached by AFP and told that I'm not allowed to be within three metres of the fence, nor am I allowed to photograph aircraft on the other side of the fence. They ran a check on my details and informed me that "it's filed in their system" and that if I'm found doing it again I'll be issued with an infringement. Just wondering if there have been any changes in policy recently for spotting at the perimeter fence? I've no problem complying with police directions if they feel it necessary to move me along from the fenceline, but it would be nice to know exactly what, if anything, is on my record...
