After all, if you&#8217;ve committed an offence the images would act as evidence, and if you haven&#8217;t broken the law, the images are innocent. <\/p>\n<p>However, in some circumstances, the police may be authorised to confiscate your film or memory cards as evidence but they are still not authorised to delete any images.<\/p>\n<p>If an officer demands you hand over your photos, make sure you get a written receipt. Under no circumstances should you just hand them over without that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOVERING DELETED IMAGES<\/strong><br \/>If you are forced to delete your photo, take the card out of the camera immediately. Whatever you do, do not take any new pictures &#8211; if you want to keep on snapping, use a fresh card. When you get home, you can use a file recovery program to get your images back. These often have a high success rate.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend the open source, multi-platform application <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"8\" alt=\"external link\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/images\/web1.gif\" width=\"8\" border=\"0\" \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cgsecurity.org\/wiki\/PhotoRec\">PhotoRec<\/a>, which is described as a, &#8220;file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from Hard Disks and CDRom and lost pictures from digital camera memory.<\/p>\n<p>PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if your media&#8217;s filesystem has been severely damaged or re-formatted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Photographing protests in the UK - advice on backing up images, streaming video and keeping your photos safe\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/photos\/images\/photography-rights-01.jpg\" width=\"425\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><strong><br \/>UPLOADING PHOTOS<\/strong><br \/>If you have an account with social networking sites like Blogger, Twitter, Facebook etc, it&#8217;s easy to instantly upload images to your account by setting up your phone to use MMS or email. It&#8217;s also worth separately emailing important images to yourself as a back up. If you have a regular camera with you and your phone has a suitable SD card slot, consider emailing images straight off your camera.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urban75.org\/photos\/photographing-protests.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With photographers getting more hassle at demos and some even being forced to delete their images, I&#8217;ve put together a basic guide on how to ensure that your photos stay &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6475,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[73,18,19,74],"class_list":["post-124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stuff","tag-legal","tag-photography","tag-protest","tag-rights"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/web13.gif","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pQI7P-20","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.urban75.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
