<<But how can you buy a property which is - presumably - visible from a public place and claim immunity from it being photographed?

There are quite a few military bases where taking photographs (even from "outside the wire") is illegal and can indeed get your collar felt. FOr isntance, taking photos on board HMS Victory is still a criminal offence!!!!! At least in the US freedom is a lot better defined than it is over here.
