Photography Law

[AcadieLibre]

First you have a Constitutional right to take photographs.

2 (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

Canadian Constitution (I Have a Copy that hangs over my desk, for Canadians if you get a hold of your MP you can get a copy for free)


Now there are tons of nuisances to the law and many varied interpretations. Like I was taught, until a Court rules on a law it is not a law but the interpretation of the law and is subject to change overtime, with legislation and changes in the Judiciary and Societal acceptances in changes of attitudes ect. I agree I have certain rights but those are a lot of blanket statements and nothing, I mean nothing is that black and white when it comes to Law. Just think such blanket statements are wrong, these are what you believe or have read and been lead to believe are your rights. Marko has a very valid point. At best they are loose guidelines and everyone needs to take that into account. It is by no means a Legal opinion but a persons. The Only Right you have is in the Constitution and that is also open to Court interpretation.

It is why when our rights are trying to be taken away or limited we need to speak out, as citizens and as photographers. Why Every VOTE counts. Rights always need to be defended and never taken for granted.
