Are you sure of that?They are not private areas. If the public has access to them, then they are public areas.
Carparks are public areas. There is nothing to stop anyone taking a photo in public (thankfully!).
The subject can object all they like, but taking a photo is not illegal in a place like a carpark. In your own garden is a different story, as you have an expectation to privacy.
if being in a public place allows one photograph them, they don't have to be asked. What I was trying to clarify is ifn there is a difference between a public and private car park. I think that when a car park is owned by a supermarket you are on their private spaceWhat or who are you trying to photograph? Thankfully this is Ireland not China, so as long as any people being photographed have been asked, there should be no issue!
if i was i would have access to legal advice - and would not have to ask on internetYou're not a private detective are you : )
Yes. I was involved in a minor collision in a business campus carpark. The entrance was controlled by swipe access cards out of hours, but was open as normal during office hours.Are you sure of that?
ok thanks for clarifyingYes. I was involved in a minor collision in a business campus carpark. The entrance was controlled by swipe access cards out of hours, but was open as normal during office hours.
The accident investigator (an ex-Garda) told me that as the public had access to the area, whether it was privately owned or not, then it is classed as a public area.
no. there is a big difference between being filmed on cctv which gives you legal rights under data protection and taking a photo of someone with a cameraJust think about this for a moment............Everywhere you go nowadays, public or private areas, you are being filmed/photographed/videoed or otherwise recorded without your explicit permission.
Does that answer your question?
I wouldn't take everything that comes out of the mouth of current or past Gardai as legal gospel.Yes. I was involved in a minor collision in a business campus carpark. The entrance was controlled by swipe access cards out of hours, but was open as normal during office hours.

data protaction act applies to all images captured by cctvWould you mind pointing out the "big difference" to me please?
.any where you are captured on cctv you have rights under data protection google data protection commissionerAlso what legal rights do you think you have under data protection from being filmed with CCTV. in a public area
you would have to ask them i do not speak for themI doubt if all those people that appear on robbery/assault clips shown on various Tv progs, where the Gardai are appealing to the public to identify them are being extended any of the "legal rights" that you purport they should be entitled to.
on a public street yesAs I said just stop and think about it for a mo, how many times have you seen photos in a newspaper or suchlike of a street scene and loads of clearly identifiable people in it?
true but the issue is whether a supermarket car park park is a private car park and if a private car park is a public area in relation to taking pictures. i am not sure.See http://goireland.about.com/od/safetyinireland/qt/photo_law_irela.htmAFAIK if you are in a public area you are fair game to be photographed/videoed/recorded with no claim to those images.
no idea ask themHow do you think the Paparazzi survive?
any where you are captured on cctv you have rights under data protection google data protection commissioner
on a public street yes

...but I see that you prefer to be facetious, so I won't bother continuing.
I don't know, you take the time to try and offer helpful advice............SIGH???
