I hope this wasn't linked somewhere else that I missed, but this is kind of an interesting link. A lawyer created a downloadable flyer about a photographer's rights, what's permissable and what to do if you're harassed. Might be handy given some of the recent posts about flash cards getting taken, etc.

| Thank you -- and the author. There's a link to a downloadable PDF version which he suggests printing and carring in your camera bag or wallet. |

| But who is defined as the "photographer" in this context? Anyone that carries a camera? Does that mean everyone with a camera in hand have the rights to shoot and is protected by this "right" ? I'm just curious. |

did you read the disclamer??? it says its just a general education guide about the right to take photographs and is necessarily limited in scope.
I like it, printed it out and will put a copy in each camera bag and one in the glove box of the truck

Sure. If you are taking pictures, you are a photographer. I don't think there is a need to unnecessarily complicate this, these are basic civil rights we're talking about...available to everyone.

Thanks for posting this - I'm going to the US in about a week's time and was a little concerned about all these stories of people hassling photographers.
