New UK Law

Postby sirhc55 on Wed Feb 18, 2009 11:52 pm

From this Monday it is illegal to photograph policemen or military personel in the UK. Fines or up to 10 years in prison for offenders.

Watch this space, it will be here in Oz soooooooon :wink:

Almost left coffee on the keyboard with that comment. Fairly unbelievable that rule - there would be a lot of mobiles being confiscated here if that was the law

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

What if you are a Pom and are IN the military. Can I not shoot my colleagues? I work with an RN'er.

Also, I guess cameras will be banned from the changing of the guard ceremonies and outside Buckingham Palace as well.

What about the filming of 'The Bill.' Would that count :)
