A lot of our members have been wondering about their rights to take pictures in the streets. Is it legal? Is it not?
A brief search in the Internet provides us with 6 very useful links!
1. For the U.S photographers:The Photographer’s Right : A Downloadable Flyer Explaining Your Rights When Stopped or Confronted for Photography
2. For the U.K. photographers:UK Photographers Rights Guide v2 : The guide is intended as an overview of the current legal situation in the UK for photographers, it is not a definitive bible of UK law.
3. For the Australian photographers:Australian street photography legal issues : Your right to take photographs
4. For the Latin American photographers: Derechos de los fotógrafos
5. For the Swedish photographers: Vad får man fotografera?
6. For the Dutch photographers: Fotografie en Nederlands auteursrecht: a guide by ICT-jurist Arnoud Engelfriet
A similar search (thanks to google) will probably provide you with the laws that concern photography in your country.
BE INFORMED and let no one deprive you from your rights!
