Law on Photographing Military Installations
page: 10
share:
Does anyone know the legal guidelines/laws for the filming and photographing of military installations in the United Kingdom? (It would also be
interesting to know of other countries laws). It would be best if people post actual legal quotes than "I think its ok cos there's lots of people
posting them on the net."
