Photographers Rights And The Law In The UK - A brief guide for street photographers.
Know your rights when you're out with your camera.
Despite the law being clear on a citizen's rights to freely take pictures in public places (with a few restrictions) there is growing evidence of the police, police community support officers (PCSOs), security guards and general jobsworths failing to respect the rights of photographers going about their lawful business.
Street shots
If you're on a public right of way - such as a public pavement, footpath or public highway - you're free to take photographs for personal and commercial use so long as you're not causing an obstruction to other users or falling foul of anti-Terrorism laws or even the Official Secrets Act (frankly, this one is unlikely).
Property owners have no right to stop people taking photos of their buildings, so long as the photographer is standing in a public place (e.g. the road outside).
However, if you're standing on private property and the landowner/occupier objects, then they have every right to request that you stop immediately and ask you to leave if you refuse.
Shopping Centres
Most shopping centres and malls stand on private land with many gaining a notorious reputation for speedily dispatching stroppy security guards demanding that you stop taking photos.
The irony that they're already busy filming you from every angle via a flotilla of CCTV cameras is generally lost on them.
Deleting images
Security guards do not have stop and search powers or the right to seize your equipment or delete images or confiscate film under any circumstances.

"give me a good reason why i can't."
perfect.
Expose the FED etc
I can't tell you how many times I've been told by the police to turn my cameras OFF. Only because I DON'T have them ALL ON TAPE!
What do they have to hide???
Thanks for this vid. :-)
Check my page, I have a vid of the cops messing with me for filming them. What you don't see are the next 2 vids where they chase me.
Many comments from those who think the cop was within his rights to bother me.
classic
like the day the Berlin wall was destroyed.
'Can I have your 2 names?'
I would identify myself as a real man rather than the legal-fiction called the 'person'.
This is the power of the Common Law, and the Peace Officers will (should) help.
