in london, you can just about shoot the big tourist attractions, otherwise it can become a real hassle. not always but there's a definite climate of paranoia.

'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,'

I shot everything I wanted to in London last year... no problems.

What are they gonna do next? Say you can't paint a picture from memory because it invades someone's copyright? Puh-lease.

Does this mean I can sue the CCTV people in London for photographing me about 2872361 times while I was there?

Never write down anything you don't want read.
Use your head for more than a hat rack!

I guess that means that I will cross france off my list of places to visit.. At least with my current significant other.. (camera) <--As much as I think it's a shame that street photography is becoming "harder" due to silly ad campaigns and laws, I think it's an even bigger shame that people have this attitude of not visiting places because of them!

Good god, we had the very same sort of thing happen at one of our local city landmarks (Southbank, in Melbourne, Australia). A tourist was taking pictures of the building because, funnily enough, they're interesting buildings to take pictures of (!!!!!) and security and the complex management decided on a no photography ruling anywhere on the promenade. It was ridiculous. There was a huge protest via way of a big gathering of photographers to that spot. Management removed the signs and backed down though you can't take pictures inside the complex anymore. Poo.

In the video from London, the man was talking back to the police, here in the states, you may get your ass beat for that (especially if you are a minority and/or live in LA). Also they would use your actions as a reason to search you and possibly take you in to custody for disorderly conduct.
