09/11/09(Fri)13:53 No.529803  In
the US you are legally allowed to photography anything and anyone as
long as you are on public property, anything that can be seen from
public property is also fair game.
If the land owner gives you permission to be on their land the same rules apply.
There
are a few exceptions (these exeptions have to be marked by signs
prohibiting photography) Generally these are some government buildings
and military institutions.
As far as people are concerned, in
the US anyone you can see from a public area you can photograph with or
without their consent. This includes police, children, adults,
celebrities... You can photograph an accident/fire/police brutality AS
LONG AS you do not interfere with the emergency services (ie getting in
their way, blocking access, etc etc) If there is a hazard (chemical
spill for example) and they have the area cordoned off, you cannot
enter it.
These are your rights... but if the police ask you to
leave an area, just do it. You can 'exercise your rights' and tell them
about themselves, but that will just get you arrested |
