It is already illegal over here. Looks like carrying a camera could lead to prosecutionâ. English law forbids taking portraits of people without their explicit permission, in the street you only need verbal consent. Use of telephoto lenses is also forbidden. Even taking houses can lead to trouble. If you take street scenes any people in the frame have to be unrecognizable.
My figures are now simulated by my pc and are no-one.
Looks like photography will soon be a thing of the past.

It would be interesting to have chapter and verse to which law Chris is referring.
As far as I am aware, there is no law against street photography and nothing top prevent anyone publishing a photograph taken on the street. No permission is required.
