2:-If hassled by others (esp security gaurds that are full of themselves) they will be too ignorant to understand and appreciate the information you have and continue to hassle you.

All a security guard can do is ask you to leave private premises.

It's worth carrying a print-out of Andrew Nemeth's cheat-sheet on NSW photographers' rights. That way, ignorant fools can be educated.

You would really need to ask yourself if the shot is worth confrontation/aggrevation and then the possible escalation to having the police called whereby which you are back at point 1 and lose anyway ??

You'd have to make a judgment call based on the situation.

But really, photographers, who are pursuing an inoffensive, perfectly legal and socially acceptable recreational activity, should not be hounded by ignoramii and made to feel like predators and criminals.

The more we bend over to the ignorant masses and cop it, the less freedoms we will have.
