Subject: Street photography illegal in Quebec?
I know this is not Pentax related directly, so it might be
labeled OT, but we've discussed photographer rights many
times so I thought many here would be interested:

Great shot. I love checking your site and being envious of
your ability and accessibility to shooting street shots. I
recently learned that here in Quebec, Canada, it's illegal.

I didn't know about this, and I wonder how enforced it is. If
it is like in France, you could say it is rarely enforced.
Peter Turnley, who published "Parisians", says that it is a
non issue, and that he openly does it. He's been getting away
with it for more than 20 years and a couple of books published.
But in any case, the fact that such issues make the papers is
worrying.

Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I
was younger." Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's
a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?
