[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 2935, member: 1061"] For a very recent example, check out [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/25/AR2010072502795.html?sid=ST2010072503132"]this article[/URL]. In the U.S., it is perfectly legal for you to take photographs in public situations. I have seen this debate rage on over discussion forums, but the fact remains: This is true anywhere in the U.S. and is not unique to NYC or Washington D.C. There are of course certain restrictions, mostly specific to private property. You obviously don't have a right to walk onto someone else's property and start snapping photos, so a certain amount of common sense is involved. Has anyone been involved in a confrontation with the police over taking photos? How about a private citizen? [/QUOTE]
