Home Office defends rights of photographers
10th December 2010
Check out the web site of The Home Office, regarding the position of photographers in public places.
This says that there is no legal restriction on the right of photographers to take pictures in public places. Furthermore, it goes on to state that there is no presumption of a right to privacy in public places, except where there are children around, which is quite understandable.
So we can all feel free to snap away in public without people telling us that we are infringing their right to privacy.
Still, its a right that needs to be exercised with caution.
