Photographers Rights And The Law In The UK -
A brief guide for street photographers.
Know your rights when you're out with your
camera.
Despite the law being clear on a citizen's
rights to freely take pictures in public
places (with a few restrictions) there is
growing evidence of the police, police
community support officers (PCSOs), security
guards and general jobsworths failing to
respect the rights of photographers going
about their lawful business.
Street shots
If you're on a public right of way - such as
a public pavement, footpath or public highway
- you're free to take photographs for
personal and commercial use so long as you're
not causing an obstruction to other users or
falling foul of anti-Terrorism laws or even
the Official Secrets Act (frankly, this one
is unlikely).
Property owners have no right to stop people
taking photos of their buildings, so long as
the photographer is standing in a public
place (e.g. the road outside).
However, if you're standing on private
property and the landowner/occupier objects,
then they have every right to request that
you stop immediately and ask you to leave if
you refuse.
Shopping Centres
Most shopping centres and malls stand on
private land with many gaining a notorious
reputation for speedily dispatching stroppy
security guards demanding that you stop
taking photos.
The irony that they're already busy filming
you from every angle via a flotilla of CCTV
cameras is generally lost on them.
Deleting images
Security guards do not have stop and search
powers or the right to seize your equipment
or delete images or confiscate film under any
circumstances.
