I'm wondering is there a Wikipedia article on this issue, I was interested to get more background on this, especially the status in other countries.

- gwern 14y agoI think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_misconduct#Video_and_audio_recording http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_misconduct#Video_and_aud... is the closest you're going to get.
- TDL 14y agoRadley Balko has written extensively on this topic. It is also a frequent topic @ Reason.com. Carlos Miller maintains a blog called "Photography is not a Crime" that deals with this issue. Those sources are good places to start learning about the ongoing issues of photography in public spaces & of police actions.
- DanBC 14y agoEngland has a bunch of separate independent police authorities. The London Metropolitan Police have this advice about photography in public: (http://www.met.police.uk/about/photography.htm http://www.met.police.uk/about/photography.htm) (There are extra protections for journalists, which don't appear to be listed on that page.) EDIT: But see also this page, where police will extract your phone data if they think the phone has been used in crime.
