The only real restriction that I have heard about involves taking pictures
of children, which has gotten offensively restrictive.
A guy in Winnipeg got kicked out of a sports complex for taking pictures of
his kids in a swimming pool. Apparently, because there was the possibility
that he could photograph kids other than his own, he was doing an
undesirable thing.
It's terrible how that situation is in the USA. Here I hesitate before
taking a picture of a kid, and I wouldn't even think of going to a
playground to take pictures.
I have taken numerous pictures on playgrounds and nobody has EVER given
me a funny look let alone attitude! I guess people are only paranoid
about men. (But I've never noticed anyone taking note of my husband or
my father taking pictures in public places where kids are, either --
perhaps it's regional?)
