Well the horse seems to be happy to have his photo taken.

Oh dear, that's a bit over the top!

“My daughter could have entered the competition if she had known about it.” What a silly thing to say!

Not quite the same, but reminds me of the time my uncle was taking a photo of a countryside view. There happened to be a house across the field, and a man came up to my uncle and told him he couldn't take the picture because he didn't give permission for his house to be photographed! Haha!

Oh she sounds like shes a real spoilt brat. Pure jealousy plain and simple.

Yes, she sounds an awful, money-grabbing you-know-what, but also:

David, from Prestatyn, said: “Jacob is really upset and has been crying and asking me if we are not going to be allowed to go on the holiday anymore."

The kid's three. Why would you even tell him there was a problem?

There are a lot of people in the world like this, such a shame they are full of hatred.

Wonder if she's got the stereotypical big dangerous dog?

Once my friend's hubby was taking pics of the sandcastle their children built and another family came up to see the pics as if their children are in it, they want it deleted.

I'm not a lawer and though not too familiar with the details, I have always been under the impression that taking pictures in a public place does not need permission from anyone, with certain restrictions eg security aspects, perhaps certain instances where children are included.
Wikipedia says:
"In general under the law of the United Kingdom one cannot prevent photography of private property from a public place..."
and, by the way, with the exception of pornographic purpose, "However, the taking of photographs of children in public spaces is not illegal."

If the pic was taken from public land or on private land with permission, the owner of the horse has no rights in this case. Nor the guy with the house.

Also, from a professional photographer regarding pictures of people, "Unless you are selling your images, you do not legally need anyone’s explicit permission to take a picture in a public space....If you are going to use your photos for commercial purposes, you do need to get permission, and it’s also worthwhile getting them to sign a Model Release to make sure you’re clear legally."

Common sense should always apply and you should avoid confrontation; if someone objects to their picture being taken, you should consider their wishes.

Home Office/ACPO guidance:

1) Police may prevent filming or confiscate equipment only where they are responding to an offence or an offence is about to happen.

2) It is not an offence to take photographs in public places including photographs of children, police officers or PCSOs. You do not need someone's permission to take their photograph, but you may need their permission to publish it commercially.

3) Police Officers may not prevent someone taking photographs in public places unless they suspect criminal intent. Once an image has been recorded, police have no powers to view, delete or confiscate it without a court order.

The best definition of "public place" is:
A public place is generally an indoor or outdoor area, whether privately or publicly owned, to which the public have access by right or by invitation, expressed or implied, whether by payment of money or not.

Landowners do have the right to restrict photography/filming as a condition of entry to their property.

I hope they asked permission from the fence post and barbed wire too!!!

The world has gone mad :rotfl:
