Although the trend of photographers getting hassle go\u2019s up and down over time, It has always been thus!<\/h6>\n<p>The object of this page is to strengthen your knowledge regarding issues surrounding photography, both in \u2018actions\u2019 and subjects in a public place. In situations whether your photographing an action \/ demonstration, or people and buildings in the High Street \u2026. it has become quite problematic and increasingly so. I think 4 main issues have a bearing here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Policeman and assorted officers don\u2019t want to be photographed, it might show some wrong-doing.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0People involved in direct action, a photograph might be evidence against an individual breaking the law.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0The notion that some believe people have a right of privacy in a public place.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0The threat of terrorism and a photographer might be conducting \u2018hostile reconnaissance\u2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, I think to start with, and since we are dealing with those interested in the sort of subjects visitors might be interested to know about \u00a0\u2026.. I should say the first consideration is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>IS IT LIKELY THAT A PICTURE I TAKE, \u00a0WILL PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE ANYONE?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I struggle with this all the time and it is central in my mind when photographing activities. \u00a0It might be argued that it is safer just to take pictures on your holiday and leave a camera at home otherwise. \u00a0I don\u2019t agree.<\/p>\n<p>Those of us who are serious about this media have a more positive motive.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, we sometimes moan about the lack of coverage, issues that concern us don\u2019t get in the main stream media, or, when they do are monstered and rubbished.<\/p>\n<p>Many of us have been involved in the \u2018alternative media\u2019 in a variety of forms to try and fill this gap. It was a prime objective of the Indymedia Network Project , and other assorted outfits. Should people not have photographed, filmed, recorded or written about events themselves in recent years, vast chunks of history would not have been told or known about. \u00a0For future activities, I think it is important to show what has been possible in the past. Our coverage should be inspiring to others in the future. Not just the near future either, photographers both professional and casual contribute to our \u2018social history\u2019. \u00a0I want my \u2018tribes\u2019 included in this knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, having said I don\u2019t want to provide evidence to prosecute anyone \u2026.. I do have \u2018form\u2019 for providing picture to defend people wrongly accused. \u00a0In fact, this is where I started during my festival and traveller days. Authorities and policemen in particular are given training in the aspects of how to give authoritative evidence in court. Many times have I seen this \u2018blown out of the water\u2019 by a witness giving evidence and showing a series of photographs or video demonstrating the officer lying through his teeth. It\u2019s not only photographs of course, you should make written notes of times, date, places. [who, what, were and when]. Voice recording equipment is much cheaper and available now, dicta-phones, mobile phones and the like can be used covertly or overtly.<\/p>\n<p>Now, bearing all the above in mind, you have to be aware of the pressures there are now, when photographing your interests in a public place. As far as I know, there are only two offences that are committed where you can be properly arrested. \u00a0It is an offence to take photographs or collect information, likely to be of use in terrorism \u2018hostile reconnaissance\u2019 and you are not permitted to take an indecent photograph of a child.<\/p>\n<p>As devices to try and prevent you, the police have been know to threaten:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Harassment, causing alarm and distress.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Obstruction [obstructing and officer in the execution of his duties].<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Seizing equipment and media that might assist in the investigation of crime. [PACE 1984].<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Stop and Searches under sections 43 of the Terrorism Act 2000<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Collecting info on police for terrorism purposes [Sect58a Terrorism Act 2000]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Sect 58a is still one of the most dangerous, since it is in so many peoples mind, that it is an offence to photograph policemen. IT IS NOT. The Metropolitan Police, Photography advice [below] makes it quite clear that this is not true [unless you are a terrorist of course]. They have to have reasonable suspicion that you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kl6v0to7-9b4bd42f0770110b726370bff63dcd80\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kl6v0to7-9b4bd42f0770110b726370bff63dcd80 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kl6v0to7-9b4bd42f0770110b726370bff63dcd80 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kl6v0to7-9b4bd42f0770110b726370bff63dcd80 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-1773 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-1773 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/alanlodge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/091205_D70_341-1-845x684.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"684\" width=\"845\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alanlodge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/091205_D70_341-1-845x684.jpg 845w, https:\/\/alanlodge.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/091205_D70_341-1-495x400.jpg 495w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-39o5cs-e5e188fd956a8e48dc350ea335fcc183\">\n.flex_column.av-39o5cs-e5e188fd956a8e48dc350ea335fcc183{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-39o5cs-e5e188fd956a8e48dc350ea335fcc183 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kl6uzqih-0640c93a598e80988f34138f2e404c1f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>note: having read any of this, you will probably know more than the average policeman, PCSO or CSO. \u00a0Their training around these issues is truly terrible. \u00a0So many times when you get told you can\u2019t take pictures, they try and prevent you, or, demand to see or delete them, they are ignorant of the law.
