Photographers out and about taking pictures are mostly just “doing their thing”, walking about, finding interesting subjects and clicking the shutter. However, since 9/11, more and more photographers are being challenged by the police and security guards for getting images of buildings, trains, airports, subwways adn so forth.

A year ago or so, I came across the the web pages of attorney, Bert P. Krages, who, besides his day job, is a heck of a photographer. He has devoted considerable amount of his time studying what happens when one of us goes out and is confronted by police or building/facility security guards, who are usually misinformed as to the laws regarding taking pictures in public places.

Bert not only tells you, in this podcast, what is legal and what isn’t, he has also developed a download, called The Photographer’s Right in Adobe PDF format.

This is a wonderful discussion about this subject and one which any of us using our cameras should know about and understand what our rights are and how to act when challenged.
