Since I can't post on "Photography & the Law" sticky:
On this part:
Taking Photos in A Public Place
A public place is defined in laws as a place to which the general public has access. It does NOT mean public property. A shopping centre, library, museum, park, is still a public place although it may be private property.
All the Malls around here in the Seattle/Tacoma area don't allow Photo's.
Even if I pack a camera and NOT taking pictures, the security officers always stops me and tells me I can't take photo's and to put my camera away out of sight. When I ask them "Why?" They usually say it is Mall policy and don't have to tell me more.
I feel like telling them to "stick it where the sun don't shine". I don't though, but I usually ignore them if I'm not taking pictures.
EXACTLY what is the law on this?
