Submission + - Illegal to take a photo in a shopping centre? (bbc.co.uk) 3
Kyrall writes: A man was questioned by security guards and then police after taking a photo of his own child in a shopping centre.
The centre apparently has a 'no photography' policy "to protect the privacy of staff and shoppers and to have a legitimate opportunity to challenge suspicious behaviour"
He was told by a security guard that taking a photo was illegal. He also said that a police officer claimed "he was within in his rights to confiscate the mobile phone on which the photos were taken".
