The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography
By DIY Maven
Up here in the hinterlands, the snow is finally melting, which means we’re going to want to grab our cameras and get out there, because, really, taking pictures of white and gray for six months straight can get a little monotonous. But I digress. To keep us out of trouble as we point and shoot, Photojojo has posted a great list of the ten legal commandments of photography, based on attorney Bert P. Krages’s website. One in particular that might come as a surprise to paparazzi-hating celebs is commandment #X: ‘If someone tries to confiscate your camera and/or film, you don’’t have to give it to them. If they take it by force or threaten you, they can be liable for things like theft and coercion. Even law enforcement officers need a court order.’ Take that, Jude Law.
