Following my recent brush with the law at Liverpool Street Station, Mike Johnston looks this week at the subject of where we are allowed to take photographs, and what we can do with them once we have taken them. “in Britain, where photographers are still considered harmless and are pretty much left alone (I know I’m going to hear it from you photographers in Britain, but I still think it’s better there than it is here)”. I guess I should write to Mike?!
“Where exactly are you allowed, and not allowed, to photograph?
I get this question all the time. Unfortunately, I’m not an expert on the subject, and I’m sure to make some errors in discussing it, whether of commission or omission. Also, all of what I have to say only applies to the U.S. of A., where I happen to live. The basic rule is that you’re allowed to photograph most anything if you’re on public property and you’re not going to do much of anything with the picture. There are exceptions to this.”

I'm hoping to put together a little downloadable and printable "Legal Guide for Photographers", featuring all the (soon to be removed, if politics continues as it is) rights and responsibilities you have.
When?
As soon as I've finished my photography and law exams...
Good article.
