University students address children photography conundrum, article.
It's out of hand in the UK. I expect any moment a law suggested that all children must wear burkas when in public. I mean, seriously, if a pedo actually manages to photograph kids while they play football and such, so what? It's not that hard to come at photos of fully dressed kids. At least not yet!
From the Article: "a man was stopped by police for taking picture of his four-year-old son playing on a train ride. "I took a picture on my phone and suddenly this security guard came up and told me it wasn't allowed because I could be a paedophile," said the father."
ReplyDeleteWhat is this world doing? EO, you better be careful, I mean taking those pictures of your friends daughter, Jade.
This is really disturbing to me, that it has swung so far on this issue. I mean, get a life people. And by the way, I'll take a picture of my son any time that I feel like it!
OK, so now I found a couple of interesting articles on the subject.
ReplyDeleteThis one is from the August 2010 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine.
Here's another from the Bob Atkins photography web site.
Enjoy...
EO, I give up. That post is just not appearing here.. Oh well, nothing gained, nothing lost...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it puzzling, though? Almost like digital censor ghosts.
ReplyDelete(Note to others: Both Tommy and I have posted a comment with links, and it keeps disappearing. I have posted it as a separate article, about photography not being illegal. here.
ReplyDeleteSeems quite odd, doesn't it though. Maybe the God's don't want anyone to know that it's legal to take that picture :-)
