| 800774 | 2009-08-13 07:14:00 | Sideswipe in the nzherald today: www.nzherald.co.nz Someone says it is illegal to take photos inside a kindergarten of any pupil unless you have the pupil's parent's permission. Is this just a Rule or is it really a law? |

| 800775 | 2009-08-13 07:20:00 | Yeah pretty much... My wife works in a preschool, she had to get permission when she first started there to take photos of the children to put in her Uni work. She says "Staff are allowed, just not the parents"... |

| 800776 | 2009-08-13 07:27:00 | I would think that it is the rule of that individual kindergarten. There is no law, I feel sure. Am taking an increased interest in photography and it seems that it will be my premiere interest in my retirement. Occasionally see an opportunity, most often bypassed, because the person is young. Since I don't want to miss any opportunities, I am thinking of printing off some cards, with contact details, to give out when the situation is problematic eg, taken a picture some big guy with tats and a Harley .........or where kids are involved.

| 800777 | 2009-08-13 08:13:00 | Years ago when I was a serious amateur, I always understood that you can pretty well do as much as you like in public places, as long as you are not a pain in the arse (commonly known as a "Pita") Kindy would be a private place and would be a no no unless permission was requested from all parents concerned.

| 800778 | 2009-08-13 09:03:00 | I tend to agree with Kenj here. I am yet to see some solid law about anything like this. As long as you aren't causing a stir, or doing anything that is boarder-line shifty, then im sure you'll be fine. (however, I do think the cards would be a good idea.. Just in case, no harm in being prepared) |

| 800779 | 2009-08-13 13:34:00 | I got booted out of a mall in Chch about 3 months ago for taking pictures in one of the corridors, they told me it was not allowed, I stuck to my guns saying I was in a free country and my father had fought in the 2nd WW for these freedoms, got banned from the Mall and a threat of Police action if I ever showed my face again. No BS. TRUTH. (this is the edit) - F..k them I still feel angry about it, where is my briefcase nuclear weapon? "we have maintained a silence closely resembling stupidity" remember that? I was just trying out a new camera, no other reason, just trying inside and outside shots to gain familiarity with the camera. |

Be ye careful here - methinks thou art on very treacherous ground here. |

| 800781 | 2009-08-13 19:40:00 | Several years ago a friend of mine was stopped by police for speeding, near Wellington. He took out his cellphone and took a video of the discussion that ensued, claiming that it was not against the law to photograph or video people, including the police. I asked one of our local cops (a senior sergeant) about this and he confirmed that it was not illegal to photograph people/police, and that gang members will sometimes do this to police. BTW, my friend who videoed the policeman is a UK resident and a citizen of Kazakhstan - he told me that he 'knows how to handle police that overstep their authority' and when the NZ cop looked at his passport and driver's license, let him off with only a warning. I dunno but I would not want to video or photograph the police in any of the former USSR countries - might wind up in the clink! | Strommer (42) | ||
| 800782 | 2009-08-13 21:01:00 | Yes well 'briefcase nuclear weapon' is a high tech thing, virtually impossible for someone like me to have except in my imagination, and that would apply to any 'terrorist' not backed by the government or military. Just shows how silly things have got. Petty bureaucrats are ruining our lives in a lot of areas. |

Misty :2cents: Naturally the contact details will list your address as being out of town, and with a strangely familiar name, like Michael Mouse, Featherston, Invercargill. :banana |
