It is anyone's right to take photos in a public place...

I may think that it's dangerous to climb precipitous rock faces, and
the treatment of people who fall off is a potential burden on the
NHS. I wouldn't do it myself, but many people get enjoyment from the
hobby of rock climbing, so I wouldn't condemn people for doing it.

Similarly, some people get pleasure from taking pictures in public
places (probably hoping to be the next Cartier-Bresson). I don't see
that it's anyone else's business to approve or disapprove of it.


If you are photographed, you own the copyright to that image unless you
agree otherwise with the photographer.


No, you don't. The copyright belongs to the photographer. Just like if I
write a book about you or a song about you the copyright still belongs
to me.
