[QUOTE="§am, post: 98351, member: 9187"] Not sure about all the laws in the UK, but if a place doesn't want you to take pictures, there's a sign saying so (eg. the local swimming pool). As for shopping centres (malls), I've not come across any (that I have noticed) that forbid you from taking pictures inside. Heck, you're more likely to see people taking pictures with their super cool smartphones and the like than a person with a SLR round their neck. I think people perceive those with a 'proper' camera as being very different to those that use their latest smartphone when taking a picture. The later seems more acceptable, yet the former raises queries as to what they're doing. As far as taking pics of kids are involved - yes even I have old pictures of me in my birthday suit, in the bath etc, and to be honest so do a lot of people. The issue comes, when someone has pictures of lots of different kids in the bath - that's when the law is called in and you get into trouble. [/QUOTE]
