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.
