Guardian: Hungary law requires photographers to ask permission to take pictures
In the UK, the rationale is if you are in public, then you can expect to be photographed. But in Hungary, with the passage of this law, it's questionable about when a person may photograph other people. It's not about publishing the photograph, it's about clicking the shutter."There is a great tradition of Hungarian photography, and we plan to continue it, but this law is not making our job easier. Capa would be ashamed, or would do what he did: leave for somewhere the policemen have a face."
