Re:“Photography allowed” sign by Sukotto on Tuesday September 27, 2011 @11:34AM (#3043691)
I think having a "photography allowed" sign sets a dangerous precedent. Right now, you are allowed to take photographs anyplace that is not specifically disallowed by law. If these signs (or something like them) become ubiquitous it becomes only a small step to "you can only take pictures where you are specifically allowed to".

Much better, I think, to familiarize yourself with actual law (here's a good writeup for people in the US[1]) and to push back against mis-informed people trying to tell you what you can and cannot do.

It's meant to only be placed next to signs forbidding photography so you shouldn't see this sign by itself. I think its a good way to protest those signs and doesn't set a dangerous precedent if only used as a reaction to "photography forbidden" signs.
