You dont... however i had said in an earlier post that I wouldnt want other people putting pics featuring (not bothered about scenes but featuring) my kids onto facebook for example..

Then it was pointed out that some of my carnival/mela and the like pics have kids in them.. there done in the right manner guidelines ect.. but it is double standards for me to say one thing and do another..

In my defence.. what i say is about my kids and how I feel.. its not about other peoples and how they feel.. each to his own

having your kids modelling you give your permission for those pics to be seen

two of my nephews are on the books for catalogue modelling BUT my sister gave permission for that, not having permission is what this thread is all about isnt it?

There is no law saying you need permission to take photos of other people's kids.

Most people don't mind others taking photos of their kids but many do not want those photos on the internet for varying reasons. This is why, in my opinion, you should not put pictures of other people's kids on the internet without their parents permission.

We had some family photos taken recently at Garth Dawson's studio.

The photographer rang us when they were ready and asked if it was ok to display a couple of them in the shop window. It's only manners these days.

You may be surprised to find there's no law preventing you from taking any photo anywhere.

Unfortunatly a great amount of police officers arn't aware of that... They cant stop you taking pictures of anything other than a crime scene and only then if they have grounds to believe it would interfere.. They certainly cant stop you taking pictures of them and they cant make you delete any pictures you have taken of anything. However some still wrongly do that

You can get into trouble taking pictures in certain places and of certain things... But thats more rules by owners than law because as studio25 says.. no laws

So how would me taking a photo of perpertrators of vandalism and such interfere? Surely i'm giving them the evidence they need to charge the little scroats?

I dont think it would.. I would have thought they would be thankfull.. but a crime scene as they could say it.. is a grey area.. its one of the few places they can stop you taking pictures and I was guessing that a crime being permitted is a crime scene... OR isnt there a law about not stopping someone commiting a crime you see happening and as such taking pictures would be pushing the limits a bit.. again a guess

hmm not strictly true.. it is an offence to take pictures of bank notes.. theres some other stuff as well

These are the guidelines I use in respect to tkaing pictures of under 18s. They are from the FA (Football Association) who dont require photographers to be CRB checked to photograph kids football which is another myth that they are required.. All they do is suggest these guidelines.

Only bit I can find unless I missed somat is the one that says you must not obstruct the police in their duties by the taking of photos. Doesn't actually apply if the cops aren't there though does it

So what we are saying is that we can pretty much take any picture anywhere, as long as it's not someone who is committing an offence, who otherwise might not be caught? laughable

I aint saying that.. only guessing why the police may have said it to you.. ... If I where to nail my colours to the mast I would say that the police officer you spoke to was talking out of the bit where the sun dont shine..

Wasn't getting at you KP!

Just saying the law (or supposed law), or the law enforcers is/are an ass/es, yet again.
