Legal pathfinders for Photographers
SceneThat is a website for UK photographers. We hope that you'll find that this site makes it easier for you to find the truth instead of the urban myths that plague our lives regarding photography and the law. We actively campaign to protect and promote photographers' rights, and challenge those people in authority who blindly attempt to restrict our freedoms to take photographs.
We intend this site to be a simple index to pure fact so you'll find links here to the actual UK legislation, supported by very few comments and occasional interviews, without the hyperbole!
We are neither 'anti-police' nor 'anti-establishment' in any form. We will however expose and hold a light to any form of unwarranted 'anti-photographer behaviour' hiding behind a mask of officialdom.
As Lord Carlile QC said 1,
...the police must bear in mind that when criticisms are made that there is greater surveillance BY the State, there is also greater surveillance OF the State
SceneThat is also about balance. Wherever there are rights, responsibilities also exist otherwise no one would be able to receive their rights. However, SceneThat is not here to moralise about things - it is, as always, up to individuals to strike the appropriate balance between exercising your rights and discharging your responsibilities. 'Nuff said!
