A magazine in the UK is giving it's readers a gift to help them with their street photography, this very handy lens cloth stating your street photography rights in case you get into trouble with the law!
There has been a lot of controversy over all the recent arrests of high profile street photographers which ultimtely lead to the january 2010 protests reported in our previous blog, in which an estimated 2,000 photographers gathered in Trafalgar Square for a protest against Police harassment organised by an organistaion called, I'm a Photographer, not a Terrorist.
It was all down to the police use of Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 to stop and seach photographers. These stop-and-search powers have now been found to be illegal, according to the European Court of Human Rights.
Now, however, with your handy lens cloth you can state your rights to all who question you (as long as your on public property!) and keep your lens clean at the same time!
