‘Authority’ paranoia over photography in London
July 22nd, 2010 | by admin |
An interesting short film about the legality of taking photographs on the streets in the UK. There’s a nice interaction between the photographer and a couple of Police Community Support Officers in Central London. For those who are unfimilar with CSO’s, these are not Police Officers, though they are uniformed personnel working with the police in England and Wales. Their function it seems is: ‘…to provide a visible and reassuring presence on the streets and tackling the menace of anti-social behaviour.’ You can draw your own conclusions on that! NB The bit about having to ask for permission before taking photographs in Railway Stations is somewhat misleading as you don’t have to have prior permission - not at the moment anyway Link to a letter written by Home Office Minister Tony McNaulty confirming that there are no legal restrictions on taking photographs in public places: www.flickr.com Here’s a link to a recent Guardian article about terrorist not bothering to photograph their ‘targets’. www.guardian.co.uk

The two guys in the film were Community Support Officers not police officers, and it looks as though the power has gone to their heads a bit

So you think that CSOs (who aren’t police) should continue to stop people who are doing no wrong, just as a visual deterent for terrorists?

The uk you have no general right to privacy and taking photograph of someone in an advertisement without the photographer getting model release then the person could.
An advertisement without the picture was used commercially for example in public place would not normally be considered an invasion of someone in public place would not normally be.

Hi storinge,
I totally agree with you especially your point about ID cards. If they are introduce you can see that every jumped up jobs worth will demand to see one.

The law is this is why its also interesting to note that the law is this is why its better to see some id this is why compulsory id cards are not good idea.
The community support officer goes wading in without actually knowing what the cso demands to see some id this shows why its better to have more real police officers rather than.
