john_sidlo Posted June 22, 2004 Author Share Posted June 22, 2004 The police were busy and I don't believe were aware I was taking pictures, or if they were, didn't say anything (I was shooting from the strap). I sent them an email pointing them to this site, and have heard back from them, once to thank me and tell me the outcome (summarized above), and once again from one of the officers asking for prints. The whole sequence of the cuffing is interesting - you can see how coordinated it was, with the two police working both sides to get the cuffs snapped on in 2 seconds. Not something you want to mess up, for lots of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl_a._mann Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Just a thought that crossed my mind going quickly over the pics and the discussion -- I wonder whether arrested suspects have a right to their own pictures and whether the guys to photographed may sue you for taking photos of them (and publishing them) without their consent.

carl_a._mann Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Public street, yes. But it's one thing to take a picture of a guy just standing around and having a good time and another of taking a picture of a suspect who has yet to be proven guilty by a court.

chris_leck Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It's all fair use. For editorial use, courts and guilt don't matter. Of course, anyone with the resources can make a civil case out of anything. As long as you are not interfering with the police, or told to stop because you are, keep shooting. Keep in mind that cops can arrest you for anything at any time. They may confiscate your camera as "evidence". I'm not a lawyer. I do believe in the pre-Patriot Act version of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
