Photographers stopped in street pictures experiment

All six photographers who took part in a street photography experiment clashed with private security officials - three of the incidents sparking police action.

The verbal confrontations were recorded for a video (above) that has been published to coincide with the London Street Photography Festival, organisers of the project.

The experiment, called Stand Your Ground, took place in the security-sensitive City of London on 21 June.

Though organisers conceded it had a 'set up feeling', the experiment aimed to 'test the policing of public and private spaces by private security firms and their reaction to photographers'.

Each photographer was accompanied by a videographer and told to keep on public land. Some used tripods and one was taking photos with a 5x4 camera.

Stand your ground you can photography everything and anything on public place, in the video a security managers ask "do you have ID" they cant ask that and if you really want to get picky the police cant ask that either. The most thing they will cry is the Anti-terrorist Act now when you join and get accepted into the police you have to swear on an oath to uphold the common law, NOT Acts or Statutes so hold your ground. In the video another security guard asks the camera woman to stop filming him as she need his permission, on public property you DONT need their permission only on private, same as does the government/council/police ask premission to record you about town on CCTV simple answer NO.
