A brilliant resource for legal issues with photography.
Browsing through the internet today, I found this absolutely great blog page which I wanted to share with you.
It
is run by Carlos Miller, a photojournalist in
Miami, Florida. He was arrested in February of 2007
for photographing them against their wishes.
After
some discussions and a failed attempt to walk
Carlos away, the officers bashed and arrested him -
with the main reason being obstructing traffic by
standing in the middle of a road. Later he was
found not guilty of disobeying a police officer and
not guilty of disorderly conduct. However, he was
found guilty of resisting arresting without
violence. And the story started there. This is the
time when Carlos Miller started this blog, which
has today a tremendous following and is a great
resource and read for issues regarding the
legality in
photography.
