>Actually, that is not true. If you are doing editorial photography, you are Leslie I didn't know you were an expert on UK law ;o) Taking pictures of people is getting harder. Using them harder still. I'm not sure it is illegal in the UK yet (under criminal law) but civil law is a continually evolving beast ... I still reckon you are at more risk of getting a punch on the nose than a lawsuit ... so don't forget to wear running shoes ;o) I've noted here before that on most UK media now people "incidentally" in the background on News stories often as not have thier identities "pixellated out". This is not so for public sporting events (where the idividual would have an expectation of cameras being present) but it is certainly so for most street scenes. It's not "illegal" per se but they could be liable for damages. Photgraphing children IS getting a riskier occupation - or even taking photos in a public place where children are in the foreground. "Suspected paedophile" is as emotive as "Suspected terrorist": all concept of innocent until proven seems to go out of the window ...
