There are some nuances to this law - you can take peoples photos if they are in the way of your landscape/panorama/something else you are attempting to photograph.
You need their permission to publish it, however.
I personally don't agree with the Spaniards on this position. Its also illegal to photograph police in Spain - this is not a law I agree with one bit. Public officials should be public, always.
- geoduck14 4y ago>Public officials should be public, always. By and large, I agree with the sentiment that "we should be allowed to video cops", but public officials includes people like the DMV - those people should be allowed privacy when they aren't doing their job.
- aa-jv 4y agoI don't agree. Public officials should be able to operate in the public. If they can't, they're not qualified for the job. Too many times our public positions are occupied by bureaucrats who would wither at any oversight of their work. If you work in the public interest, expect public attention.
- tluyben2 4y agoI am against not filming the police and indeed it makes injustice happen. Seems not as rife as the US, however that might be because it is less reported, I do not know. I think police should at least have functional body cams at all times, by law and if they did not function at a moment of a crime, they should have to explain that or get fined or fired depending. Watching American shows about police with bodycams and citizens filming makes me more convinced that that at least should be allowed.
