Public Photography Petition

Wednesday 21st February 2007

Ho hum. The goverment is planning new restrictions to prevent photography in public places for anyone who, on their ID card is not a registered photographer (from what I understand).
The petition creator writes:

There are a number of moves promoting the requirement of ‘ID’ cards to allow photographers to operate in a public place.
It is a fundamental right of a UK citizen to use a camera in a public place, indeed there is no right to privacy when in a public place.
These moves have developed from paranoia and only promote suspicion towards genuine people following their hobby or profession.

So, I signed the Petition.
