A lot of our members have been wondering about their rights to take pictures in the streets. Is it legal? Is it not?
A brief search in the Internet provides us with 5 very useful links!
1. For the U.S photographers:

2. For the U.K. photographers:

3. For the Australian photographers:

4. For the Latin American photographers:

A similar search (thanks to google) will probably provide you with the laws that concern photography in your country.
