Your Rights as a Photographer in the US
Here are the main points you should know:
- When in public spaces where you are lawfully present you have the right to photograph anything that is in plain view
- When you are on private property, the property owner may set rules about the taking of photographs
- Police officers may not generally confiscate or demand to view your photographs or video without a warrant
- Police may not delete your photographs or video under any circumstances
- Police officers may legitimately order citizens to cease activities that are truly interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations
- Note that the right to photograph does not give you a right to break any other laws
Be sure to read the entire article to make sure you know your constitutional rights.
