Default Re: Legal Rights of Photo Taking

Hi, I posted this on another forum but it's got what you're looking for I think...

"Hello! I found a copy of the photographer's right in an old camera bag and as the subject comes up from time to time I did a touch more research.

Here are three sites on the subject of what you can legally shoot in the US.

1: (a pdf to copy and keep in your camera bag)
Bert P. Krages Attorney at Law Photographer's Rights Page

2: (first of a two part article)
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columni...y-rights_x.htm

3: (second in the two part article) http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columni...y-rights_x.htm

Do remember one thing the columnist said though, in the middle of an emergency is no time to be a jerk spouting off about your rights. Cops are people too and when stressed will behave just like anyone else with a club and a gun.

And if you do go that way, I won't say I told you so, but then we're all adults here so I shouldn't need to right?.
