You know, some years ago I went on a business trip to Mufulira, Zambia. At some stage I whipped out my Instamatic to take a shot of the company Jet standing on the grass next to the runway. Within seconds I had an AK47 thrust into my ribs. I was told it was illegal to take photos at airports in Zambia because all were considered military intallations. Fortunately one of our managers saved the day by saying I was taking the photo for our monthly company newsletter. They didn't even confiscate the film in the end but it was a scary moment.

Subject: Photographers are allowed to take pictures in Hawaii

From today’s AP:



HONOLULU (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union says it won't sue the state of Hawaii after officials agreed to stop citing people for taking photos from a sidewalk near the Honolulu International Airport.

The ACLU of Hawaii said Tuesday the agreement reached with the state attorney general's office affirms the First Amendment right to take photographs in public.

The dispute stems from a state sheriff citing an amateur photographer for photographing airplanes along Lagoon Drive without a permit.

The ACLU says the attorney general's office is ensuring state sheriffs are aware of the right to public photography. Hawaii Administrative Rules are being amended to clarify that photography in public spaces doesn't require a permit.
