Stand your ground

[Doog]

Probably posted before, but I hadn't seen it. So for anyone like myself here's a good you tube film of photographers standing their ground. http://youtu.be/FJH9F7Hcluo

I can't find the link to it, but I know it's been in a thread at least once before..... as you can imagine it got a few differing opinions.

Yeah this has been posted before and truthfully I didn't really see the point of it the first time I saw it and I didn't really see the point this time :shrug: I taken photo's in London and never had any issues even with a tripod :shrug:

Standing their ground but being polite with it,
Fair play to the police as well as they all seemed to be well informed too.

The point is simply to let people see it. There are many threads on TP about this kind of thing happening. It's never happened to me either but that doesn't mean it wont.

Yes, the police seemed to be fairly clued up. Nice to see.

I had numerous interactions with the police photographically and all have been wonderful they've always treated me with lots of respect and genuine interest in what I'm doing

First viewing.

I would like to see a similar project undertaken in towns on the outskirts of Central london, or in the suburbs. I'm sure the city police are regularly updated on photographers rights, since they're a regular occurance in their environment. But how about away from the tourist spots? I'm sure the footage would be completely different.
