I have attempted to take pictures whilst walking with a group of friends, more than once, before... but I have to admit, my height and looks usually mean that Im mistaken for a non-Egyptian and I'm given leeway.<BR/><BR/>Thing is, in response to your question, I think that people are allowed to take whatever pictures they want as long as they are in a public place. If people don't want others taking pictures of them, then they should plan to be invisible in some way.<BR/><BR/>If I can see it, and it's in a public place, I should be allowed to capture it on film (or memory card). And that's that.<BR/><BR/>As for the laws, Alaa has a point. It is annoying. Usually when I feel that the situation might get dicey, I attempt to take the picture "fel khabatha keda" without anyone noticing or whilst I am in a car or somewhere where people can't get to me, in any way.<BR/><BR/>I hate to do this, but I'm usually not in the mood for a police officer to get all cocky and decide to do something to my camera... which wasn't cheap when I bought it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943611.post-62473811522486215732007-05-15T07:58:00.000+03:002007-05-15T07:58:00.000+03:00I was going to take my camera and take some shots ...I was going to take my camera and take some shots as I joined that group too but I was sick and I couldn't go anywhere<BR/>you know I wanted to talk about this ,but it is not about the security ,it is about the people them , why the people see it strange when some Egyptian takes some photos ,I can't forget the comments I heard when I took some shots for the cairo university from making fun of me to harassing me <BR/>but you know I don't give a damn nowZeinobiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290387395565291310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10943611.post-30119055699284626672007-05-15T05:26:00.000+03:002007-05-15T05:26:00.000+03:00lately I've discovered that the law doesn't matter...lately I've discovered that the law doesn't matter in Egypt until you reach the cassation court.<BR/><BR/>not to mention that no one knows what the law is in this country no one even knows the total number of legislations in effect but people estimate around 60 thousand laws, decrees, and amendments<BR/><BR/>when it comes to rights for public spaces we almost have non<BR/><BR/>for instance you are not allowed to photograph potential military targets or to take photos while in potential military target.<BR/><BR/>what is a potential military target? well all bridges and flyways are, all highways and autostrades are, all bus stations, all infrastructure hubs for communication, energy and other utilities (not to mention every single fixed and moving security patrol and military police checkpoint).<BR/><BR/>this basic leaves only slums, fields, deserts, mountains and beaches.<BR/><BR/>now slums are mosi2a lesom3et masr so that's another crime. the rest I'll leave for you as homework<BR/><BR/>being legal in this country is ridiculous (and don't get me started on how many ways you can skin a blogger using qanoon el 3oqobat).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
