*sorry meant question you, not them*

Also, I can’t imagine you shaking your head and walking away silently, but what else can you do mate.

Scary post really to be honest and I think you hit the nail on the head when you wrote :

“…There they are, trying to enforce some imaginary law” all these people that do try and stop you don’t know the laws or anything, it’s ridiculous yet I don’t know why they feel they are entitled to even question them.

I’d suggest you alter your phrase “I know my rights” to “I know my rights, and you obviously don’t” or alternatively look at them shake you head in disbelief / disgust and walk on in silence.

The poster is a bit scary, talk about 1984. At least in the UK you can argue with the Security guard or even a copper. The problem is that people are whipped up into a frenzy of fear and paranoia about perceived threats.
I wonder how many people in the UK are walking around with a camera on them? Every mobile has one these days(nearly) and digital cameras are cheap as chips. It doesn’t help matters if the Home Secretary says it’s of to harass photographers, is it OK to harass people crossing the street because they might be jay-walking or people waiting at a bus stop because they might be loitering, oh well your honour he looked like a terrorist so we had to shoot him…..turns out he was an electrician from Brazil…….

I am not familiar with UK laws, but in Canada and the US is is perfectly legal to prohibit photography on private property. You can take pictures to your heart’s content in public places, but stores, gov’t offices etc. can limit your freedom. They need to be up front about it, and they can never take your camera or film though.

Thank you Jim for that last post…
I think I’ll try that…
You’d better be right though, cuz its not nice to get people arrested like that.
