All I will say is that sometimes people don't want to be photographed
when they are out and about, and photographers/ those with cameras
should try to respect their wishes. Of course this is a difficult thing
to do in practice, but this issue is much more likely to arise when a
photographer is attempting to capture shots of people or indeed just
single individuals (e.g. 'portraits of strangers' type photography).


If you don't want your photo taken in public, don't go out in public.
It's that simple.

As for CCTV -- I have no problem with it. I doubt the residents of
Ipswich do either.


But it's unlikely that specific, recognisable images of an individual
person will be released by the CCTV operators, especially if those images
might then end up in a magazine without the subject having signed a
release first.


Happens all the time, just watch Crimewatch.
