PhotoPermit.ORG Launches
PhotoPermit is a new website that aims to help the individual photographer through the potential minefield of being challenged in a public place whilst using a camera. Do you know what your rights are? Have you ever been confronted by someone? PhotoPermit may be able to provide some answers.
“Have you been hassled while trying to make what you thought was an innocuous photograph or video? Have you been threatened? Have security guards demanded that you hand over your film, memory cards, and/or camera? Perhaps snatched them from you? Then this site is intended for you.
Have you been successful in convincing irate parents, confused policemen, and troublesome self-appointed “authorities” to let you go on with your own work in peace? Then this site is especially intended for you, to share your methods and success in making the world a more free one.”

I have been "moved on" in London Parks, by the London Eye and in Docklands. It is about time we had a photographer’s charter.

Remember that the United States is at war and no one has the time or the interest in stopping photographers in general. There are millions of them. This is about facist religionists not only wanting to kill large number of American citizens and tourists, but have a history of succeeding in doing just that!
Photographers are typically either American citizens or tourists when they are shooting our landmarks and would definitely be the designated targets. Remember: the dead photograph nothing. And the police don't want to scrape dead body parts into a bag. Its highly over-rated as an activity.
I think the main problem here is mostly emotional denial about the reality of the war. Well, I think that will be cleared up in the future when the PC crowd finally forces police to 'stand down' - and let the killers do their work. That event will do far more harm to the freedom of photographers that a few worried cops. Do you think this didn't happen in past wars? Think again.
