Default Voyeuristic and invasive of privacy: is that photography today?

BBC - Viewfinder: Voyeurism, surveillance and the camera

The UK has some rather... strange views (generally from government) about photography and people's rights. The BBC tends to sensationalize things as well.

Just sayin'.

Yep, well almost every media outlet tends to sensationalize things nowadays, thats the way mainstream media is going. The FT is about the only paper left run by sensible, level-headed people.

With regards to the UK anti-terror laws and photography in public, again that was a lot of media sensationalism around a few over-zealous police officers and a few indignant members of the public.

Don't believe everything you read.

Yup.................it sell papers! At least in England, folks still take the time to purchase and read the daily papers there. Sensationalism is what sells news.
