Photos in a swimming pool?

But if the water in the pool came from a reservoir that was situated in a place ' where the public have access by right', that water would remain a public place. So if you take your camera into the pool, you can take all the photos you want.

Apologies once again I missed this post - Clearly I do not want my children to live in fear. I would happily trade a little more safety for a lot more freedom and I hate the nanny state.

The post was meant to be humerous in view of similar 'I'll get my popcorn type comments' - perhaps I could have been more helpful if I signaled it by wrapping it in emoticons which indicate humour?

I obviously missed the ironic nature of your post.

Trolling is against the forum rules. You should know better.

The term 'trolling' does not appear in the rules. And in any case, I'm making a valid point. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights makes this quite clear: "The human right to water entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically accessible (My emphasis) and affordable water for personal and domestic uses" (See General Comment 15)

So there.

lol - but to take full advantage of that right you have to submerged in the water which won't do you any good unless you happen to have an aqualung and a nikonos ;)

Have a look here - well worth the read

I like this bit-- Freedom to photograph/film

Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel

As Bernie has already said, A swimming pool is not public. So ignore all that.
