Filming from a moving vehicle?

[spectre17]

Apologies of there is already a thread on this, what are the rules about filming video's of events etc. Are Permits required on public roads etc.

Also, if someone was belted up in the back seat, with a camera on the back shelf, and the boot was open, would this be a big no no?

Thanks in advance...

In my latest copy of the "Photographer", there was an article on a phogographer being stopped by PCSO's and quizzed why he was carrying a camera, the article then had an article headed:-

WHAT THE MET TOLD US

Speaking in terms, "You cant stop somebody taking photographs in a public place", "If they are just in the street taking photographs, as long as what they re taking a photographs of isnt for instance, the alarm system of the Israeli Embassy, its not a problem. You are perfectly at liberty to take photographs in a public place as long as you are not obstructing a highway or a footway"

So I am confident you will be OK without any permits or anything else to take your phtographs on a public highway.

i think spectre is more worried about the laws regarding hanging out of a moving vehicle rather than the taking pictures bit...

i've been on a few shoots and afaik there were never any permits/official permission involved. i guess its common sense really, if you choose a quiet location you won't be bothered, if you're hanging out of a car on the M25 at rush hour expect trouble!
