Photographers Rights And The Law In The UK - A brief guide for street photographers.

Know your rights when you're out with your camera.

Despite the law being clear on a citizen's rights to freely take pictures in public places (with a few restrictions) there is growing evidence of the police, police community support officers (PCSOs), security guards and general jobsworths failing to respect the rights of photographers going about their lawful business.

Street shots
If you're on a public right of way - such as a public pavement, footpath or public highway - you're free to take photographs for personal and commercial use so long as you're not causing an obstruction to other users or falling foul of anti-Terrorism laws or even the Official Secrets Act (frankly, this one is unlikely).

Property owners have no right to stop people taking photos of their buildings, so long as the photographer is standing in a public place (e.g. the road outside).

However, if you're standing on private property and the landowner/occupier objects, then they have every right to request that you stop immediately and ask you to leave if you refuse.


Shopping Centres
Most shopping centres and malls stand on private land with many gaining a notorious reputation for speedily dispatching stroppy security guards demanding that you stop taking photos.

The irony that they're already busy filming you from every angle via a flotilla of CCTV cameras is generally lost on them.


Deleting images
Security guards do not have stop and search powers or the right to seize your equipment or delete images or confiscate film under any circumstances.

Why did not talk to your locale prosecutor for the information. Instead a some person might not have the correct. I am sure that you are right but it is still better to get it from the state prosecutor not some that may not know all the ins and outs.

All cameras do is record history. THEY DO NOT PREVENT TERRORISM. GOT IT USA? It did not stop the train bombings did they? They are to instill paranoia that we are always being watched. Many of them have a close up of my middle finger. Both Demicans and Republicrats caved to the BS Patriot Act. Use our tax dollars to screw us into submission. Piss off!

Is Google "soft-censoring" this video with bandwidth restrictions? The streaming is slow, and has stalled completely at 06:30. Is anyone else experiencing these problems when they view politically sensitive material? I do not have this problem with non-political videos.
