I'm referring to English Law.
I'm aware that the current laws on photography permit anyone to photograph
anything as long as it's in a public place (subject to the exclusions on
photos of children at the beach and security installations.
What is the case as regards photography in places where the public are
generally permitted, but may or may not have to pay entry, or have the
owners refuse to admit them for any reason. Assume that photography is not
expressly prohibited, what is the situation should someone end up being in
your photo but object to having their picture taken? Places like
supermarkets, hotels, swimming pools, museums, down at your local pub, etc
What is the situation regarding "model releases"? I understand that they are
required for commercial photography, but aren't newspaper photos considered
as such? I'm sure Fred West (and other infamous individuals) didn't have to
sign permission before the Sun could publish his "perp. walk".
