This is not good.
It seems a bit more complicated than you just can't photograph. But any
infringement is not good.
And I worry about things like that crossing the pond.,
It'd be a lot harder for them to put you in jail for 10 years here in
the U.S. We do still have the 1st Amendment and so far the new
administration seems to be more mindful of the law; i.e. the government
is not above the law, nor are citizens below it.
I do not propose complacency or an "it can't happen here" attitude, only
that it would be more difficult for our government to do something like
that.
In Oakland, California, recently it is only because a lot of bystanders used
their cell phone video cameras and cameras, that a Bart "cop" was charged
with murder (not gone to trail yet) for shooting an unarmed, facedown man in
the back. Although not the police police, they have persisted in calling them
cops so I presume they have some legal standing as cops.
Those cell phone video cameras and cameras are a boon to humanity wanting to
preserve civil rights. And I'd really like see anyone get all of humanity to
NOT use them when they see things they think need recording.
Can't be done. So stop worrying about people using DSLRs.
Interesting thing about those cell phone cameras. I had someone tell me
the other day that Pentax manufactures the majority of the cameras that
go into cell phones.
Anyone know if that's true?
