Know Your Rights

  Before I read these articles I knew that you could take pictures of things in public places.

That's common sense because you have the right to use your camera or cellphone to take 

pictures if you want to, unless there's a sign that says that you can't. I have been told to stop 

taking pictures in a public space, which is a museum. I was taking pictures of certain art pieces

that was being displayed out on the walls. I was told to stop because the flash would harm the 

pictures and I never understood how the flash off a camera could harm the art in museums. Whenever 

I go to museums I always have my phone with me anyway at all times, but I think of not taking pictures 

because there's always those securities that's always staring at you. I always thought I would get 

caught so I didn't bother taking pictures there at all.

   

    I agree with these issues and I think they are fair. For example, if you're taking pictures on 

someone's property, they have the right to tell you to get off their property. Another example

is, having the right to photograph in a plain view. I agree with that completely.There's no reason 

you should not be able to photograph in a plain view if nothing serious is there. All the other rights 

that are explained in those two articles are fair, nobody should have a problem following those rights.
