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.”
