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.
Unless European legislation has supervened, one can take photographs of anyone or anything in the street in the UK and publish without permission.
Chris needs to give us chapter and verse as to how the law has changed.
