Photography in Public Places
There is no law in the UK preventing a photographer, whether amateur or professional, from taking photographs in a public place.
Nor do individuals have a legal right to stop a photographer from photographing them.
Thus a photographer is perfectly free to photograph street scenes, landscapes, buildings, people, etc, without breaking any law and with perfect freedom to do so.
The Police do not have the right to confiscate equipment, or delete images.
Photographers should at all times co-operate with the Police and should take particular care to avoid obstructing the Police or emergency services.
(Remember that you could fall foul of the Public Disorder Act)
