Uk Street Photography Parliment Motion

~didjerama:icondidjerama: reports, March 14
After hearing many stories about people having problems being able to take photos on the street (in the uk), I'd thought i'd show you this too look at.

"PHOTOGRAPHY IN PUBLIC AREAS
11.03.2008

Mitchell, Austin

That this House is concerned to encourage the spread and enjoyment of photography as the most genuine and accessible people's art; deplores the apparent increase in the number of reported incidents in which the police community support officers (PCSOs) or wardens attempt to stop street photography and order the deletion of photographs or the confiscation of cards, cameras or film on various specious ground such as claims that some public buildings are strategic or sensitive, that children and adults can only be photographed with their written permission, that photographs of police and PCSOs are illegal, or that photographs may be used by terrorists; points out that photography in public places and streets is not only enjoyable but perfectly legal; regrets all such efforts to stop, discourage or inhibit amateur photographers taking pictures in public places, many of which are in any case festooned with closed circuit television cameras; and urges the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers to agree on a photography code for the information of officers on the ground, setting out the public's right to photograph public places thus allowing photographers to enjoy their hobby without officious interference or unjustified suspicion."

Only a few MP's have signed it so far, but its something to keep an eye on. If we all email our own MP's we might be able to put an end to this insane ideal about photography in public places.

My local MP now has an email waiting for him. I have actually only been stopped twice from taking photos, once at Temple Meads train station in Bristol, which I think is allowed to have its own rules on the matter? And once photographing in Northern Ireland, where I was photographing local police officers. They asked me to delete the photos because they could be used to build profiles on officers, again I dont know if this is the law, but I didnt question it.

Iteresting motion, thanks for posting.

I can only hope there's a lot of support for this. The kind of things I hear from photographers in the US, who have to carry a bag full of legal contracts if they go out streetphotographing, really scares me. If something like that were to grow in the UK as well, it could only mean a precedent for the rest of the EU....

Train stations and such are allowed to have their own rules because they're privately owned property.

No one is allowed to ask you to delete photographs or hand over a memory card as far as I am aware.

It's getting ridiculous, when I lived in London, my girlfriend at the time and I were stopped by 2 police officers, one carrying a sub machine gun who asked us to stop taking pictures of the buildings and to delete the pictures.

We refused to do either and after a little discussion they left us alone.

If you're on public property there is no law that prevents you from photographing anything you like (not so sure about people but I'd imagine it's the same), the police can not take your camera, film or memory card and they can not ask you to delete the pictures.

I can understand their position, but they definitely don't have the right to do so. Especially asking for people to delete their work after the fact.

This is not only a problem in the UK.. it's the same here in India.

I had faced similar concerns while photographing a government building, which had beautiful architecture.
It's a shame that terrorism is getting the best of art!
