I'd be more comfortable if it were expressed as a double negative: in a
public place, there is generally no right for others to stop people
taking photographs. I don't believe there *is* a right to take
photographs, and can't imagine which legislation I would have to look at
to find it, but I think the statement above is pretty much on the mark.


As I understand it, you don't need a "right" to do anything under
British law. You can do anything you like, provided that neither -
(a) there is a law specifically forbidding it, in which case you may
be prosecuted, nor
(b) it may cause damage to another person, in which case he may bring
a civil action for damages.
