Photography Is Not A Crime

Lots of activity recently on this subject. Here are a few pointer links:

The Facebook group, Photography is Not A Crime (I just joined it!) where I also posted the following: "And, if you want an example of why this is necessary, just see "Photographers Face Wider Anti-terror Curbs" which starts "Cameras trigger terrorism fears(UK) ... Civilians are being told to be on guard for people carrying cameras and zoom lenses as part of anti-terrorism seminars being rolled out nationwide ... ."

Photography Is Not A Crime - Your Rights A concise list of what a photographer can and cannot do, by Carolyn E. Wright, an attorney and professional wildlife photographer who specializes in the legal concerns of photographers. As a recovering attorney, I wholly support Carolyn's statements and BTW, think it is worthwhile checking out other pertinent info on her blog, "PhotoAttorney."

There are also various Flickr and other groups out there, including several websites by photo journalists. Just google "photography is not a crime."
