UK Law on Street Photography.

[studio68]

Hi,

I love street photography and taking candid pictures of human life on the steet.

But it can be a tricky subject at times.

What rights do photographer have and what does the UK Law say?

Look forward to replies.

Thanks

Like i have said before their UK laws,but every now and again if your out their with your camera every now and again you might bump into a tricky moment no laws can account for human nature.
If you feel uncomfortable in these sort of situation maybe street photography not for you.
Believe it or not its alway been like this,maybe it was higher a few years ago under new terrorism laws which now are less likely to happen,but if you follow others threads on this subject you will see its now switched to children,their will alway be something.

It might also be worth reading this pdf I came accross. No idea where it was originally hosted.
